I agree with you there alrite. I'm waiting for feedback from her at the minute. You're right about that though, I should use a font that suits her style. I just gotta figure out what that is first :) She plays fairly hard techno music so I dunno

True. I noticed on a lot of the most famous dj's sites they have no logo apart from a styled font/typeface

The top one is alright but I think you've lost the edge is had.

The interesting thing is, how many djs have logos you can recall?

BT's simple curve has been used on almost every album, tour and anythign else.



Hybrid's curved font is used less these days but...



A few use custom fonts and the like:





What you're trying to achieve is a individuality to Tara. It has to punch through on flyers/posters and make people excited that she is on the bill. A modern computery typeface won't be enough. I like your connected dots, but I'd look at the font to go with it.

Wish I was better at this :) I'm a software dev, not a graphic designer! I will have a look at fonts tonight and see if I can some up with anything better. Thanks again!!

May I ask how as a software developer, this project came to you?

[Conr]

I play with graphics in my own time and have done so for years, so people often come to me for help with graphical/computer issues. Started using photoshop when I started making "skins" for www.bebo.com. Customised themes for personal profiles. Check out my site Dzyne.net - Bebo skins and stuff for example.
It's just a hobby though, but it got the attention of some people over time, and I started doing skins for people like DJs and stuff. That just progressed on to this :)

I like the web dev side of things though, as you get to mix photoshop with coding :) Yum

After a bit of feedback I think it's going in this direction...

I don't like the M though. Much too thick and big...

And the gap between the base of the T and the top left of the M will be the same size as the gap between the 2 parts of the T...

What ye think?

[zumojuice]

the space between the a and m is too tight. I think I prefered the 'm' ident before. But this is a good step forward

[Conr]

Ya I prefer the M on the last one you picked too, but she picked this one. I'll finalise a few of em using both types and she can pick then I guess :)

Grr, every time I go near it I end up with somethin else!
