Simple, nice and clear mark. Bass clef +house = music school.
If you need to see logo in any different colors, let me know.

I like the logo idea a lot- bass clefs in a house- very cool! Wish the name was a bit more interesting too? But yes- Cool logo!

I've changed letters on uppercase to make it more authoritative.
I think that the name should be simple, because we have strong mark. But this is just my opinion :)

And different font (a little bit - this is sans sherif)

The font in #9 and in #4 is so good designed and characteristic that I think that it should stay without any changes.
Maybe you have some proposition that you want to see. Let me know :)
And I'm glad that you like the logo :)
Have a nice day!

Thank you for your feedback- we still really like this logo! We like the addition of "Music School"...but our official title is Opus Ithaca School of Music. Could you change that, please? That simple change will put this to #1. Our ideas regarding the color choices are based on our two major local colleges (Cornell University is RED, and Ithaca College is BLUE). This is a very strong college town- and we were hoping that if we have colors close to them (or a blend=purple) we may be able to take advantage of their branding. I don't want to lose the authoritative vibe...but maybe we can play with the colors and see how it looks. I REALLY like the potential here.

And version 2 with purple in text.
Let me know if you want to see different version. Maybe different shade of blue or purple.

Hi again! Thanks for working with some more of these ideas. Now that we see the words in all caps and in blue (or purple)- it resembles the Ithaca College logo a bit too much. Can we try either changing to lowercase...or different colors for the bass clef house? Otherwise, we may choose black for the words again. What do you think?

Hi :)
I will show you some combination that you can see how it works and in the I will write what I think :)

ok :)
#19 and #20 ale with lowercase and now you can see that letter "p" complicate the balance and symetry of whole logo. The left side is going down.
Red and purple is better than red and blue, beacuse red and blue is more formal and cold. So #21 is the worst. In #21 and # 25 are smallcaps - letters that are uppercase but smaller than regular uppercase. And I think that is the best way to go.
For me good combination of colors are in #23, #24, #26 - are friendly and warm. Generally red and purple looks good. And "yes" for red and black :)
Of course the decision is yours :) If you decide what colors and size of letters you want just write and I will show you those on image :)

Have a nice day :)

I'm sorry, not #25 #26 has small caps :)
I looked again and red and purple or red and black are the best way to go.

Hi! We are still REALLY liking this logo...and having trouble deciding as time is running out. Could you try combining the words "opusithaca"? This is something we really like...but not sure it would work. It is not necessarily a must- we just want to see what it would look like with your cool bass symbol. But I do think we like the #19 the nest so far. It has been SO helpful to have the color choices.Thanks so much!!

Hi :)
I know that this is hard decision and of course I can show you some proposition.
You just have to know that sometimes logo is in one color (black, or white on colour background) and then different colours in the name will not work. The better way is going with bold and regular font.

#40 works ok

#40 is indeed our favorite by far of these. Thanks for continuing to work with us! Could we see the #40 concept in a slightly more "straight edged" or modern font (we are musicians...do not know the term to use!)? It may make a difference... Thanks for all of your help and recommendations!

Contest is over and we are still indecisive. Would you be willing to post the symbol on the same line as the words? Thanks!
