Creative Brief


Prodigy Piano Studios

Prodigy Piano Studios

"Discover The Prodigy In You ... !"

Yes

This logo is for a private piano studio website. The website I designed myself and I am soon going to get a site redesign and I will most likely have the homepage designed around the logo concept which is why I wanted to get the logo before my site redesign. I want my logo to be somewhat eclectic in nature, not cartoonish and not too serious looking. Something flashy and artistic. You can really think outside the box. Different is good. Colored accents is good. A tasteful color palette will definitely capture attention (Google is a perfect example - simple yet so catchy) I do not advertise towards specifically young children , teenagers or adults, so you won't need to take this into consideration.

I wish to encourage hints of Red and Grand Piano Goldish Soundboard color along with Black / White to capture the essence of a Grand Piano Color Palette. (Just check out the opened Grand Piano picture on the left side of the banner on my Home Page for color options.)

My website: http://prodigypianostudios.com

I would also encourage anyone to simply type in 'music studios' or 'piano studios' into Google to find what the highest ranking sites use for their logos and perhaps work off that.

http://californiamusicstudios.com/ (I like this design, 3 colors, simple and eye catching. It also looks FUN and engages viewers because of the human images.)

http://downtownmusicstudios.com/ (I think this log just sucks - But their website design has character)

http://www.vancemusicstudios.com/ (Again, I hate this logo but the 3 X 3 colorful pictures on the upper left of the Home page is very eye catching.)

So, in summary. Eclectic, colorful and perhaps matching a Grand Piano color palette.

Thank you so much - Let the contest begin! :)

    Hello designers. Thank you all so much for your hard work and ideas. As you can see, BDesign has won the contest. His concept was absolutely perfect for what I was looking for and he exceeded my expectations with it. Good Luck on future contests, this site is pretty cool and I'll prob use it in the future. :)

    nevermind my comment about the digital piano - I just received a submission where it looked kind of fun with it in there. :)

    Oh, and please make sure the foot is out at the piano - nobody sits or stands at a piano with square feet - they have one foot in - And please don't submit anything from a front or side view - Grand Pianos look much sexier and appealing angled and lid OPEN. Keep checking back here while I continue to give my thoughts.

    ATTENTION: Scratch everything I have said below. Check out these URL's please. Use them as inspiration - I want nothing cartoon like, nothing comedical and nothing 'cute' I want something that can work well as a website banner but also can be skimmed down into a logo for a flyer or for business cards, advertisement slot on a webpage etc. I run a fine arts studio specializing in private music / piano instruction and I take what I do seriously - design should be detailed , sophisticated, captivating and well blended. If designers are serious about winning this contest, you should do what one designer just did. He has so far submitted 10 completely different styles - Totally totally different styles - All unique and characteristic. All very well done without need to make corrections. 10 of them. I would recommend everyone else doing the same if you want a chance to win. I'm very picky and demanding as some of you know already ;) http://www.logoguru.co.uk/drafts/display/contest/172507/draft/1309472 http://www.logoguru.co.uk/drafts/display/contest/172507/draft/1312261 http://www.logoguru.co.uk/drafts/display/contest/172507/draft/1319676 http://www.logoguru.co.uk/drafts/display/contest/172507/draft/1276574 http://www.logoguru.co.uk/drafts/display/contest/172507/draft/1318428 Try throwing in a spotlight or two or three and please don't make 'PIANO' the larger out of the 3 words, we all know it's a PIANO studio. 'PRODIGY' should be made biggest. And no digital pianos please. I have a full sized Yamaha Grand. Digitals are for noobie studios that are afraid to spend money for quality ;) Any questions, ASK me please. Good Luck!

    Check out my sketch LOL. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/829/sketchcb.jpg/ It doesn't HAVE to be that exact spacing of images / business name - you can think of other ways to do it but it's the essential idea - overall concept I am looking for.

    Attention designers. I am not a big fan of thick font styles or 'bubble ' or 'cartoon' font styles. Keep the business name clean / simplistic / regular font - and let the surrounding artwork speak for itself with color and artistry :)

    #45, could you please send me in some more very very quickly thrown together rough drafts that are similar but show highly different Font and Font Color Choices? Could you also try making her hair swirl back a bit more and add some more colors - make the colors BURST - also see what would happen if you have her standing up while playing and show more detail where the piano keys / keyboard itself would come out from the piano. Then perhaps we could work off from there - And see if we could create that double sided effect I mentioned - where the right side blends into classical / formal / sophisticated. But really, remember quick and rough drafts - I don't want you spending too much time on detail yet :)

    Who wants to try this out? Left half wild crazy liberal with punk / rock looking girl (tasteful of course, don't make her look like a sleaze heh) and then the right half totally 2 faced - Formal, Classical and Proper. I would be very excited to see this type of design. Very!

    I also changed my mind about requesting hand drawn designs! You can submit hand drawn stuff of course! But don't get too caught up with it! I want to see lots of variety, artistic color combinations (I like the colorful ones with red, yellow, blue, etc)

    Hello to all new designers. I HATE to do this, but here are some links of logos that are pretty interesting to me and I find them to be artistic in some way or another. Use them as inspiration to get a feel for what I like and let the project begin. :) Chosen for color combinations, to show how a person can artfully be displayed even along with an instrument, overall effects. http://californiamusicstudios.com/ http://www.stepstograce.com/ http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/130105/draft/1036828 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/131958/draft/1053858 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/129634/draft/992650 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/132719/draft/1058368 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/182764/draft/1346083 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/169155/draft/1271412 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/181585/draft/1346179 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/175865/draft/1332796 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/169749/draft/1279428 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/170406/draft/1293217 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/163364/draft/1212094 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/161453/draft/1237701 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/162717/draft/1236985 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/160772/draft/1221549 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/136403/draft/1193736 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/151257/draft/1174619 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/145539/draft/1148720 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/143725/draft/1140442 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/142709/draft/1130781 http://www.mycroburst.com/drafts/display/contest/141291/draft/1106352

    Yes, yes - More hand sketched designs please! Font can be normal but the icons, graphics definitely hand sketched with artistic flare ;)

    Some good submissions so far, I am very excited. I have decided I want a piano and two children or a child / adult at the piano within the logo. Be creative - I am enjoying the 'hand sketched' looking ones that have colorful hints more than the bright / shiny / lots of color ones. I will make certain to privately message any submission designer and give them my thoughts so you can all get creative but not steal off each others artwork.

    Draft # 3, 4, 5 - I do like simplistic artistry but I think for $300 , I would probably pick another one - Although I like the start of it. Thank you so much for the idea.

    Draft #2, I think you put a decent thought into the design and I appreciate that, but I think it might be a little too 'aggressive' - If you replaced my business with 'Build Muscle Fast' and the piano with a benchpress I think it would be great for that business. ;)

    Design drafts #2, #3, #4, #5, I think it would be GREAT to have a little illustration of an actual child (preferably female since most of my students are female) or of an Adult / Child next to each other with the Adults hands seemingly 'guiding' the child. Anything that draws out the emotion that says 'hey , that could be me' or 'hey, that could be MY child' - Make it look like they are having FUN! :) (I know, I'm so difficult heh)

    As compared to draft #1, I think that concept would go well with many Piano Studios, but I would rather my Company Name be more Prominent - And also Spelled correctly :P
