NOMADESIGN said:

well... I hate to say that but I think I came up with a similar concept http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/13120
Anyway, your client ended up choosing a better font than mine.

im loving this a lot! very nice work. i do have one small thing though, that ive just noticed. it might take it away from the design, but is one of the keys a tiny bit fat?

It's like on a real piano where you have two white keys together, b and c, without a black note. I assume!

Lovely logo by the way.

Wonderful! Even the landscape, which is as good as Mondrian's early lanscapes with trees.

@NOMADESIGN I tried to create an original logo, but i guess that didn't work well :( I still got my inspiration from poplar trees :-)

@waggit I tried to make the trees look natural, so it looks a little different from normal piano keys :)

Awsome logo! Looks very creative and perfected.

@NOMADESIGN: The concept may be similar but the end result is extremely different. First yours is about art and resembles paint strokes. While this logo uses trees. Only after a hard look, one person may find a similarity. This one similarity is extremely small. Also your logo is older and probably has not been viewed at recently as well as the your execution is sub par to this logo done by Jason.

NOMADESIGN said:

@Rileyvan: The concept is exactly the same, the rendering is completely different. When you describe a logo for registration, the concept has more weight than the rendering. The brush strokes are also a rendition of trees because the logo is for a natural park in Japan. I do not think it takes a hard look to find that out. Now I do agree that the rendering by Jasoncho, especially concerning the typography is much more appropriate & elegant than mine.

@Jasoncho: Your rendition is excellent as well as the rest of your portfolio. I do not think there will be copyrights infringement problem, if Piano Forest does not operate in Japan. There is too many details that clearly show you did not have my logo in your head when you designed it. Anyway it happened to me as well... getting the genius concept and finding few days later that someone already did something similar.
One thing I would like to suggest, is to remove the top line above the tree simply because it is not necessary. We can understand the concept without it.

thank you for the comment NOMA :)
so many designers these days! I wish making a logo that is truly original was much easier ;)

I like the logo very much, I'm just not completely sure what it's for. Is it for a piano store?

I saw a mention that the top line is not needed. And I don't necessarily disagree. But I think the top line give it a horizon line of sorts. I'm not saying to do this! But I might play around with putting a mountain up there that looks a bit like the top of a grand piano... Floated it btw.
