Dave Bryce Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 We've spent a few days looking at a bunch of design options, and we're digging this one. The PLAY button rocks. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Great update, and more inclusive than the studio monitor icon (I think that's what it is anyway). Picks up traditional players, and also studio cats who assemble loops for today's music (definitely players but of a different type).

TommyRude Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Sorry for the buzzkill, but IMO the new logo is underwhelming, and doesn't measure up to the high quality standards you guys have established here. Further, it looks like a logo for a CD player, or some other type of playback device. I think you guys can do MUCH better. Judging from the responses so far, I may be alone in this opinion! Will there be a separate / unique logo for Keyboard Corner? Perhaps you could let the community decide. Put some choices out there, the crowd will make a good decision.

o0Ampy0o Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 This does beg the question, "How is a Play button relevant to a musicians network logo?" This has a sort of novice's approach. It is just replicating a common design style without regard for context, (i.e. the stacked words forming a rectangle = common....making the Play button out of the O = misses the context).

MathOfInsects Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 You guys do realize that the last one was stacked words forming a rectangle and a desktop-style speaker, which is one step even farther down the food chain from "pressing play," right? It looks clean and modern. For a purely text-based logo, I think it's nifty. Quote Now out!

Tom Williams Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Okay, since I have been outed for being silly, I guess I'll respond like an adult -- this once only. I'm neither impressed, nor offended, by the play button. If the logo is for the entire site -- keyboardists, stage sound people, drummers, bassists, what-have-you -- then it would be inappropriate to feature a keyboard in the logo. As a universal music graphic, eighth notes are pretty universal, but cliche'd. I would go for a fermata myself, symbolizing "Keep it going a bit longer," but I fear that a lot of folks might not get it. Finally, a sincere thank you for the people who, unlike me, have negotiated data exchanges, nursed the installation and upgrade of a new server, and even designed logos that don't look like an icon from a Radio Shack speaker sale. Those have all been done better than I could do.

You are correct, sir! It is not only the logo for the entire site, it is the logo for the Music Player Network LLC, which hopes to do more than just run KC. We had a couple of weeks to come up with this because we can't use the old one - Future still owns that even though we own the brand itself. We paid a professional artist to come up with a whole bunch of designs, which we spent a bunch of time considering. There is a talented group of people working behind the scenes with me on the site - Craig Anderton, Steve Fortner, Mike Martin, Jim Quinn et al - everybody participated in picking and tweaking this logo. We all quite like it, especially the gold PLAY button...not just because of the Music PLAYer thing, but because it points forward. I saw no reason to put this to a public vote because we had to go through a bunch of them and refine our choices very quickly...and there is simply no way to please everybody. I also believe in giving people who take the time to express that they would like to see something different a chance to follow through and show what they think is a better idea if the situation permits...which this one does. To that end, if KC folks want to submit a design for the local KC banner at the top of our forum, we can totally trot that in front of the community for public evaluation. We've always had rotating banners at the top of KC, and we can have as many as we like. If you create a design and the community digs it, I'd not only be completely delighted to put it into KC's rotation, I think it'd be really cool to have a community art show on display. ...and there you have that. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16251 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I like the thinner font and shade of blue of the current one. I think Gulf colors (from racing,) are cool, how about orange somewhere, maybe the play button. How about a 147 or 925 Leslie for a logo?
