Hey you rock! I like #9 better. A few people have done the keys upside down like that and I see why, since it looks more like an "M", but I just wonder if people will get that it's keys. Can I see what it looks like with the keys rightside up?

Also, with the piano body B, can I see it without the holes in it and on the same line as the rest of the text? I like what you did, but it loses its recognition as a piano rather than a B with keys hanging from it. Like yours the best so far though!!! Please revise when you can.

Hmmm, maybe even try the B something like entry #2?

I'll have the revisions up in a little bit. I do want to let you know that the reason the keys are placed that way is because if the keys are placed right side up, it could easily be mistaken for a W. But I will have revisions up soon!

The thing about your old design direction is you could use the whole as a logo, and parts as t-shirt designs, offering people a choice of the whole logo, the piano, or the piano keys, they dont all have to be put together. Thats why I love wordmark logos, any graphics in them can be taken out and used as a standalone graphic :) While you very well may consider just a graphic, please also consider wordmarks or your name with a graphic next to it. I'm not just talking about mine, I'm talking about any designer who enters your contest. Its something to consider, IMO :)

That is a very good point. I really like the MB that you separated out. I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!!!

Heres an idea, a little more fun, while keeping it modern :)

Hmmm, I like the original #12 better. I just realized however, that #12 will work if it's on a dark colored shirt, however if I put it on a white shirt and reversed the colors, the black keys would be white and white keys would be black. Anything you could do about that?

Heres a couple of ways to show it on a white background. If you like either please let me know and I'll upload variations with just the piano, and just the M keys :)

I see, nice. Is there any way to make them so that there is not a dark outline around it? Like in the original version, I like how it could just be the M and the B on the shirt together without any outlines or anything. I mean, I understand that there would have to be at least a thin outline on the keys since they're white, but I'm wondering if there's a way we can make it look less of a blocky outline if it went on a white tshirt.

Here it is with just the text and only an outline on the keys :)

Hey there, just want to confirm that if you win this, that I can get all of the different variations that you created. I really like them!

If I won, you would get the full logo on dark background, the piano key symbol on dark background, the piano on dark background, and the same ones on a white background also. Theyre all part of the same logo so theyd all be yours :)

Thanks so much!! Also, any chance you could put ".com" after #12 and #31 (and #28 if you have time)?

Hey thanks so much for all your hard work!!! You win! So, if it isn't too much trouble, I'd love to have as many variations as possible because I think many of your designs are sweet and I can't decide which I like best yet! So if possible, can you send me #12, #19, #18, #56, #57, #58, #31, #28, and #27? Haha, I know it's a ridiculous amount to ask for but I think they're all so sweet! Let me know if it's possible. You can e-mail them to me if it's easier at beilis.matt@gmail.com. Thanks so much again Illumina!!
