Research on company logo's[I've based mine mostly off music labels or bands].

Hey,In today's lesson, this lesson being Monday in the OLC, I have been looking at a few different logo's and seem's I've picked to do the music brief, which is brief three, I have decided to look at a few different logo labels that are record companys, for example the first main music label I could think of is "SONY" . SONY is the first one that popped into my head because it is a big music label and their logo stand's out because it's in huge font and capital letters.  I've chosen to look at this logo because I like how it's so simple but as soon as most people see it, the instantly regonise it with Simon Cowell's company; this being SONY records.



The second company logo, which has also got to do with music is "music splash" I chose this one to look at because it had a different type of way of expressing the company, unlike SONY records which is just a name in captials and bold font. I like the effect that they have put on design because it look's like a old looking retro CD has been put into water and is "splashing" which completely goes with the companys name, "music splash". I prefered this design over "SONY records" and the reason for that is because I think the image totally gives away what the company is about with it's own little edge, whereas if someone who didn't know what SONY was they wouldn't be able to guess straight away that is is a records company.


Ignoring the top half of this post; The third logo I am going to talk about is the MTV[Music Television] Logo. This logo is obviously well known in the music industry but also on the television. I'm familiar with this logo and I know it offers out to most people around my age, so to adolescents. From my research I know that ''approximately 97,654,000'' actually have MTV[otherwise known as Music Television] on their TV, so it is a familar logo to most people who listen to music a lot. I like how the design on this look's and it's very colourful but also bold so it stands out, so people remember it.
I have also decided to look at a big few band logos, the ones I know being The Who, Led Zepplin, The rolling stones, AC(lightning strike)DC, Kiss, The Beatles and obviously Queen. This band logo's from my view, give us an idea what type of band these people are, for example, The beatles company logo seem's laid back and just simple, whereas Kiss' band logo seems more out-there, and like they want more attention, and that's what I get from the idea of these logos. However I do like the rolling stones company logo and the reasons for that are it doesn't actually say the companys name, but it's just a familar image and you instantly recognise the band that's being portrayed.
