#30 - Like this one, and the arrow moving forward is good, but could it end in something (like a musical symbol) rather than a "star"? Star is often associated with dance studios, not music lessons. The blue/gold colors are not strong enough

Thanks again! There are now 3 more days added to the end. Will have say, again, the name needs to be bold, and not script. And, sans serif (otherwise looks too much like a typewriter). #41 thru #53... All are script, or serif #43, 45, 52, 53 - the people are too "literal". The design needs to have a single element that can stand by itself to represent the name, and three people are too many. #41 & #42 - The stylized L wrapped with R is a nice idea, but the name is a script type font isn't nearly strong enough.

The project has been extended 3 days. More entries welcome! also, am changing the tag line: No exclaimation point, and can I see how it looks "Together, we make music matter"
Better and better each day. Still, I cannot stress staying away from the "cliche" use of music notes, pianos, etc. And,still, all are lacking a single, abstract (like the Nike "swoosh" or National Geographic single yellow rectangle) that can stand along and uniquely identifies the busines... More helpful comments beginning with #15.
#15, #16, #17 - Nice use of the initials LR, but all of the elements are competing with each other - the abstract, the name, the studios, and I'm not sure which one is the company name. Too many colors that conflict with the overall impression. Font too skinny or not bold enough.
#18 - Too cute. Not sure what the green circle does
#19, #20, #21 - Color not terribly striking, and the use of music notes, or music notes with wings is something I'd prefer to avoid
#22 - Nice, very nice. Big, bold. The background is nice and gives a feel of movement, and that the "oozing shape" sybolizes that the music studios envelop and embrace everything. Now, if that background could be turned somehow into a stand-alone abstract (i.e. a symbol that could stand by itself without the name) and have more of a "music" sense (maybe a "staff" which is the 5 parallel lines on which music is drawn) or a circular road (our students children are in fact returning for lessons) then we'd be getting closer. Or maybe there can be a "symbol" embedded in the name (like the hidden Arrow in FEDEX between the E & X). Not sure if Red & White is strong enough, though. Has to be able to translate well to B&W printing, and for use on T-shirts, Tote Bags.
Thanks again everyone! Getting better. I would still prefer to AVOID the obvious "music symbols". A note, a piano, etc. are used by EVERYONE. I'd like something that reflects movement, creative, solid experience and avoids the "cliche". Also, a very SIMPLE abstract that can be used as a standalone item (like the Nike "swoosh" or see my document with PARKSIDE that has a simple roof)
Here are a few comments on the most recently received ones, starting @ #10 #10 - Nice. Like the very big lettering, and the Red/White, White Red. Still the "note" is bothersome. #11 - Blue & gold too hard to read, along with letters too close together, and the "notes" are cliche #12 & #13 - Prefer sans serif. The keyboard is only one instrument we teach. There are many more. BUT, do like the music stand in the middle as it ties together the whole logo. #14 - Too colorful, too many instruments, too busy.
Hi Everyone! Thanks for a great start, and I really appreciate the "early bird" responses. I do *strongly* encourage participants to review the documents I uploaded as "design exemplars" of what is most appropriate for this project. Here are some brief comments to help with the current designs, as well as those coming down the pike: #1 & #2 - Clever use of the "music tree", but am looking for a abstract that is straightforward. The tree is too busy, and reminds me of another company called "The Music Tree" (piano lesson books) #3 - Pretty, but strikes me as if it is a good red wine, not a music company #4 - Colors too passive, and letters too close together. Hard to read at a distance. Not sure where you are going with the swirls #5 & #6 - Elegant, but the font really needs to be bold, straight, and not script. #7 - Groovy, way too groovy for an established, professional business. #8 - Nice, but again, need a straightforward abstract. Not sure if this is a reference to a guitar, or a sound graphics equalizer, but probably too "techno".
