So this week I found out that my logo (design number two) has been chosen as one of the top two to go forward into the next stages! As this was my first ever live brief, I'm extremely proud that my design has been chosen to go forward.
Feedback that I had received was to 'minimise the 3D effect so that the logo was neater and more compact'. I was also informed that the Newcastle Music Hub had changed it's name to 'Music Partnership North' and that there were in-fact going to be four 'Music Partnership North's': Newcastle, Newcastle College, The Sage and Northumberland. They asked that each Music Partnership North had their own logo with the areas assigned colour: Newcastle - black, Newcastle College - blue, The Sage - grey and Northumberland - red.
First of all I amended the companies title on my original design - Music Partnership North was actually much nicer to align within the square as the words music and north contained the same number of letters. I then decided that I would incorporate the colours into the '3D' section of the logo. Here are my amended designs:
Wish me luck!
