Muamer said:Well done man!
Do you believe that I have very similar (but different enough - I think) logo on my HD made before 4-5 years for one music company ?!?!?!? ( I must find some time to upload that >
IDEAS flying around :)

logomotive said:@Maumer, so funny you mentioned that. 1 week ago a logo project crossed my desk titled "Music Wife" where the client had actually drawn a sketch of this exact concept except the keys where reversed MW. When I saw this it blew me away and THAT is why I am jealous. Patrick this is a classic and you executed the mark beautifully. Well done.

the critic said:why all the floats? as this concept has been done several times just search LogoLounge.com website and see... Logo done by these design firms ( Emmi Salonen, TheBeehiveCo.nsulting, MacLaren McCann Calgary, & La Visual) it is nice looking but lets see some logos that are not too similar to others please.
Oct. 05 '08
nexqunyx said:@ the critic: Thanks for your feedback. You know what? This concept came to me while I was actually drawing out ideas with a pencil and paper. I have never (EVER) seen a similar logo in my life. Perhpas there are similar ones out there. So what's your point? I came up with this concept on my own without any outside (websites, books, etc) influences. So as far as I am concerned- it is all 100% original. For someone who has absolutely no formal training is graphic design and no training in AI and other design programs, I guess I'm doing alright. Cheers mate!

Relevant said:I'd never seen anything like this, until I saw this one. I can see how more than one designer might have the same thought (although I'm not sure I would have).
Oct. 05 '08
jmsilver16 said:I am a beginner graphic design artist who is having trouble designing a logo. I have seen your work and find it very influential. I want to design a logo for myself but I'm having trouble coming up with any ideas. I would greatly appreciate your advice.

chuck said:To The Critic:
I have all four LogoLounge books, and I don't recall seeing anything resembling this logo. I clicked on it because it caught my eye, and I thought it was a great solution. The tone of your post smacks of arrogance and a general lack of tact.
Every logo I see on this site resembles logos I've seen elsewhere. Every logo I've done resembles someone else's work, somewhere, somehow. It's the nature of the beast.
Perhaps before you start lecturing others on their similarities to other's work, you should rethink your own avatar with the "speak bubble".

Relevant said:I was going to do a speech bubble once, but then I decided to design a real logo instead.
Oct. 06 '08
darrel said:Hey, we ALL have speech bubble logos in our portfolio. ;o)
That said, I think the critic is just doing is best at trolling the comments. ;o)

The Critic said:you may say what you like but all of you think, do, and/or post on other logos that it is similar to others, etc... so don't be a bunch of Hypocrites.

The Critic said:try getting a subscription to LogoLounge so you may do simple searches.... search "Piano" and you'll see.

onesummer said:@The Critic,
I know what logos you are referring to. And sure, the concept of designing letters out of piano keys for a company that is related to pianos is not necessarily new, but it certainly does not take away from the fact that the concept is still clever and beautiful in its simplicity. Besides,the concept itself is not why this logo is getting so many floats. nexqunyx executed the concept very well here for this particular client. a concept does not have to be the "only one of its kind" to be good.
@nexqunyx, did you submit this to LogoLounge yet? it would undoubtedly get chosen for one of the books. And when it does, the next time someone posts a 'piano letter' design, The Critic can comment and include you in with the other designs firms that he listed. ;)

Rudy said:Great Logo. Yes, there are similar concepts but you have composed this one well.

grifter730 said:This is pure brilliance.
Oct. 09 '08
jonvic said:Wow! This is your best work by far! To be honest, when you look at all your logos here, this one doesn't fit in. And by that I mean this one is just brilliant. ;)

Wlosky said:clever idea & nice font

Type08 said:I was browsing through the gallery a bit... Stumbled across this one again... And got me thinking here, at first I was like, wow man, 93 votes, that's really something. Logo went in top 10 floated of all times! That's great, congrats! But then again, this site has 15,303 members, and ONLY 93 (of us) voted for it? ONLY 93 votes? Trying to find the reason, but help me out here please... Why?
Oct. 20 '08
hindmarshdesign said:Very odd indeed.
Far out...I'm working towards the day I can come up with a cracker of a design.
Oct. 20 '08
epsilon said:> Why?
Keep in mind that 15303 is a grand total of everyone ever registered. The deadwood can easily account for over 90% (ninety) of the total. Then not everyone who's active is logged in all the time. Then among those who's logged in, not everyone votes. That's your typical social community site "funnel". Lot's of registered, some lurkers, few actives, very few engaged. Nothing out of ordinary.
Oct. 20 '08
ClimaxDesigns said:Epsilon hit the nail on the head, just to give you an idea of just that bell curve. this site gets over 10k visits a day, 8k of that unique visitors. The users page shows roughly 112 pages of 20 people per page meaning in the last 30 days any one of those people have made some action as a logged in user of the site, down to simply viewing a page. So of the total registered users about 2,240 are in some way active over the course of 30 days, so about 74 unique people a day can take action of the 10,000 or so that visit.
So add to that the fact that you don't have to be logged in and registered to participate in viewing the works here and the clip at which logos are added and likes and dislikes of individual members and you should see why a logo might seem to flounder at a low floated number but then some seem to mass huge numbers quickly. I mean in all reality in a 30 day cycle a logo could potentially rack up over 2,000 floats...

hindmarshdesign said:now that would be a cracker.

nexqunyx said:Thanks everyone for all the compliments. Means a lot to me:) Unfortunately this company was dealing with another designer and chose theirs over mine.
This is what they prefered: Wiesinger Music logo
I don't know what to say; I'm shocked. Oh well, I guess I will be keeping this concept in my logo vault and wait to see if I get another client with the same business and the same initials:) LOL
Oct. 25 '08
NC said:I personally like the logo, however I can see why they chose the other over yours. Although what your logo "says" it says well, it unfortunately says something different to the logo they chose. Yours says "modern" and strips away any tradition that is often associated with pianos - in fact the first thing I thought when I saw the logo was of piano keyboards. The logo they chose although not pretty, makes it very clear what they do, and that's what a good logo should do.
Oct. 25 '08
ClimaxDesigns said:I got to admit, looking at the other logo and reading MC's comment i have to agree i think they were looking for something more literal and classical, no worries, doesn't mean the logo you created is bad, it just did not fit their vision for the identity of their brand, wouldn't make too much of it beyond that.
Oct. 25 '08
nexqunyx said:Hey it's all good! I'm over it:) I still think my interpretation is far superior than the one they chose. I spoke to the owner of Wiesinger today and he said the decision was made by his wife and kids (under 12 years of age). The youngsters said they really liked the grand piano image. The client said if he had his way, he would have chosen mine.
Yeah...right.

pineapple said:Can this logo only be used with a dark background? if used on a light (or white) background, will the white piano keys be black instead? Or did you plan to add a border around the letters to preserve the correct key colors?
Nov. 28 '08
pineapple said:Follow-up: I know it's all academic now because the company chose another logo design, but I am still curious about how you saw this logo being used in different environments. As it is, though, I do think this design is very clever. Thanks.

logomotive said:^ the mark could be placed on a black rectangle and type reversed out, pretty simple.
