I like the 2D nature of the line art. Hadn't thought of a microphone being made from a wine glass, that's a nice alternative, even though I'm still pretty strongly attached to the "wine glass with headphones" concept.

The other thing I liked about this was the use of two sizes of typeface, with "Radio" being somewhat de-emphasized. And though I stated I wanted sans-serif, the "WineBiz" typeface is actually subtle enough to work.

Thanks!

I'd like to explore the "wine glass-microphone" a bit more. Feedback that I've received from various colleagues has me thinking I should at least give this a try as a icon.

Thanks again!

Do you have specific comments or input about this design?

I'd love to see some variations on the microphone concept:

* different grille patterns (eg square grid instead of staggered circles)
* colors (perhaps three colors instead of just two)
* different typefaces (clearly my spec has been proven wrong by you; I'm not as close-minded to the use of serif fonts as I thought)

I've ranked #4 highly because it's novel and I've looked over your previous work (going so far as visiting your website and perusing your portfolio) and think you have a good eye. I'd like to see designers play with this and surprise me. It may come to naught, but as I said, you've proven to me that my preferences are not set in concrete.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for your complimentary remarks.

I'll work on some modifications :)

While LogoTournament is a design community, we are competing and not collaborating. The mic/wine glass concept is original to me. Please do not ask other designers to pursue this concept. Thanks for respecting that. :)

Colors: keep in mind that there can be a cost associated with the # of colors in your logo. This is less and less true as digital printing is so affordable. Yet... there are still applications (embroidery, screen printing, spot color printing...) where you'll pay by numbers of colors. A strong logo will retain impact in a single color - think of the biggies and they likely all translate to black and white well. Single color uses still abound too - corp checks, fax, xerox, phonebook... Just something to think about.

Have a great day!

Hi Nancy,

Yes, I've learned my lesson regarding not "crossing the streams" when it comes to design ideas from different designers. My wife, who is a graphic designer herself a while back, made that clear to me last night. :)

I'll take what you're saying re: colors to heart. That being said, I'm not afraid to work with the winning designer to come up with monochrome renderings of the logo (assuming I can't figure it out myself using Illustrator or the like). I'm trying to be a good client and not meddle too much in the nitty gritty details, just give guidance and encouragement.

Thanks!
