We do like your designs a lot. The problem I think that it looks a little to Indie, if you know what I mean. 52-53 look more elegant look more elegant but not as special. This would be great if we were not planning on really being established. This is the difficult part with the logo- it needs to attract "the real, authentic" rock star, which it is, but t wont if it is so slick. However if it isn't slick at all then major department stores will not be intrested, It is a very fine line. Also keep in mind that we are going to have to use this logo on white, so a white logo is tough. All magazines etc, require a white background. I know you have the talent to create something perfect, you already have great logos, I hope you understand what we need more now, Thank you, I am looking forward to see what you come up with next.
thnkx for very constructive feedback, I will try to make something different, lets start with this! And you mentioned you want to keep logo simple so it can be printed on white.
