I like the direction you're heading. If you used the "headerbg4.jpg" example as my first choice in preference styles and fonts I think you're on track. Thanks!
#1: This is pretty close to the example I posted, the problem is there is nothing really different about it other than a type style which is stronger than the last but pretty plain looking. Maybe something as simple as using the impact style font and adding some texture, lighting or a light grey outline. I don't know but it needs something to make it pop.
#13: Wow. Big improvement here. I like it a lot. Can you experiment with adding some piano keys to the "blue P" within the orange circle and giving the "Grind" word some sort of minor styling maybe ruffed up slightly or some kind of "grind" effect if that makes sense! Nice work here!
Thanks for you feedback. That will improve my design.
based from your suggest, I submit some variations again. #18 : add piano to "P" #19 : put piano element in the "Grind". Just experiment #20 : hope this design looks popup than previous entry.
#20: I like it alot. Can you try a lower case "p" instead of the uppercase? And maybe an outline font for the "Beat Market" like in the example piece? Can you try it using the "impact" font for the "playGrind" part?
#18: just a thought....is it possible to maybe make the circular orange "P" with a saw blade styled outline to give it some edge?
#13: your designs got me thinking...which is great. How about adding a record platter texture to the circular orange "P" giving it more of an old school LP record look? Or, how about making the inside orange part of the "P" into a triangle to give the circle more of a "play" button type look of say a cd player.
#75 best on yet OD! The only other thing I would ask if you could try a reverse type font like in the example for "BEAT MARKET" in all caps to see how that would look. Thanks! Fantastic work!
Ok, OD. This is my last request. on #84 Can you try instead of the grey outline around the logo, put a thinner matching blue one. I just want to see how that compares to the grey. I really like the way these look.
#95 I was thinking more in lines of the same color blue as the "play" lettering and maybe very thin so the white stroke around the letters shows clearly....maybe pencil tip thin. Just a thought.
Okay OD. I asked a couple friends for their comments and here is what we came up with. I think your current #1 looks great right now, but I was hoping you could take a look at the current ranked 4th (#82). I like the way the piano keys look better, they are sharp and crisp (although it does have one extra dark key that is not supposed to be there). The "P" also has a little extra width to it showing a little more blue color next to the piano keys making the "P" more readable they say. The lighting/contrast is also great adding a bit more character to it. I was hoping you could make these additions. I really appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this! I'm impressed.
