My wife is starting a music and creative arts school in Lubbock, so I have the privilege of designing her advertising. This is what I came up with for her school logo. Any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Looks professional to me. Good luck.

not bad, i'd lose the black fading, just make it all white on the music symbols. Simple, yet effective.

I like it!

It looks pretty good
If you like the fading keep it just add some shading to the lettering above. I think it makes the letting look like an afterthought to have the lettering so bold. You also might look at taking the lettering off the symbol and make the music tree a little bigger I think that would look sharp also. Just my .02 since you ask

Thanks for the suggestions and complements. My wife and I debated some of the same thoughts. I'm planning on makeing a couple more over the next week, so we'll see what she finally chooses.

I dont know what it is called, but the FM needs cleaner lines IMO. Everything else looks great.

Agreed. Just because it's somewhat hard to read the FM letters for me. Outside of that, looks cool.

A few thoughts.. if the business is Foundation Music and Creative Arts, why the FM only?

You might be able to do something interesting with the FMCA (or FM&CA) letters.

Not a fan of the distressed letters, but the logo with the tree and treble clefs are cool!

Make sure you can enlarge and reduce the logo. A good logo will look good on a banner and it also has to look good on something as small as a business card. It has to be readable in all kind of sizes.

She like the F in that script because it looks like a forte.

Right now she's focusing mainly on the music side of the school. She is offering early childhood music classes, piano prep. classes, private piano and theory lessons, and baby sign classes. She has plans to expand into creative drama and improv classes later on. She set up the business name planing for the future growth.

Keep the ideas coming you guys are great.

Ah well there you go.

My first Piano teacher was in Lubbock on 15th street between Slide and Hardwick elementry.

That was 1979 though.

Was it Dr. Holmes? She lives over there somewhere. Great Lady.

I dont think so. I would probably remember if someone said her name, but I've had a few beers since then

I'd clean up the edges of the main letters.

Unless it was going to be in the upper left hand corner of a letterhead, website, business card, etc I think it will look off canter.
Otherwise looks good, what a professional logo should look like.

that looks really good!

Nice
