Out of this list of ideas for our Record Label name, We have decided that the combination of City Records and Premium Records would work well together.
This making our Record Label name: Premium City Records


Ideas of fonts:

These were some ideas of fonts we were deciding on, we liked the first font because of the use of the fully capital lettered font, however when putting it onto the background of the skyline it did not look right, this was the same case with the full lower case lettered font.
When trying out the second font we thought it mirrored the skyline effect of the background, this being the reason we did not want to use this font as it would contrast and we did not want this.

We decided on the bottom idea, but we chose to use an unbalanced look so we moved and angled some of the letters and made it into this design.

 This was the first logo idea we came up with:

This was our first attempt of our Label, We have chosen to stick with a black and white theme with our logo as well as what our production will be. 

We used the skyline to represent the city in the name with a black silhouette to show the 

main feature is the name. The name is in Grey/Silver writing to outline the idea of Premium being 'first class'.

However, when thinking about it we decided a different route would be better because when asking feedback within our classroom, as this was used as a class exercise, the feedback we were given was:

We decided to change the image slightly so we still have the silhouette in the background, however we have decided to use Typography as a way of changing our font. We have took the feedback from Helen and Connor and are going to take away a lot of the blank space which would be the sky. This is changing so that the Typography will be in the sky making the background silver/grey to form the dark image. 

Here is the first attempt at the Typography:



We like using this because the name is repeated over again, it is filling up the blank space unlike the last attempt. Also its black and white contrasting look is one which we both like for our image. 

This is our finished logo design for Premium City Records. We have used typography repeated behind the image, the use of this gives us space in the black silhouette to put a larger piece of text. (as seen below)

This is the very final piece screenshot from iMovie where we will create the music video. The effect is called "sideways drift" which means it will zoom onto the screen, slow down, and zoom off. The font is a different one from what is used in the typography. We like the colour used against the black and white as it contrasts with what we will want in the video. We used the outline of the black as it stands out better against the silhouette of the city skyline.
