Blaine, I like #8 and received some feedback from my partners.
#8 is the best design to start.
1- being that we are not DJ's....... that turn table (the round figure) needs to be a 35mm roll of film, hovering in front of him which he is about to grab. (same size and placement as turntable or slightly larger)
The placement of his hands should not be moved. More of his body can now be seen after removing the table all together.
2- Pin striping and placement is perfect on #8 design. Please copy that.
3- Also, as we wrote out the description in the work brief (please see), i used lower and upper case together. We would like to see the font just in WESTSIDE spelled like: WestSide.........making the EST and IDE smaller in font. The "the" should be left alone...........maybe SoundSyndicate should get the same treatment?
Thanks!
