Rising DJ/Music Producer Needs New Logo

This is what GYLL was looking for in their logo design

We've recently signed an artist to our roster that needs an updated logo to align with a revised marketing/branding strategy. The artist is a DJ/producer of dance music (for specific reference: tech house, minimal house, progressive house).
We are seeking a straightforward design that's masculine and easy to read. It should be contemporary with a strong presence, but not look too aggressive or "blocky". It should be foxy, sly, and charismatic, to align with the artists' personality. Also, urban/social influences (i.e. brushstroke/graffiti, skater, punk, etc.) is encouraged and appreciated. We've included a press photo, and a flyer with a font the artist liked, but felt was too basic. We'd like something with a unique flair/signature element. Additional attachments are examples of other logos the artist likes and are for reference use only. Read more
