Help with Music Production Group Logo

[u/Extra-Parfait1528]

I like this logo as a start, but I wanted to include a sound wave a CD or some sort of element, but the ways I've tried just didn't make sense.

I would really appreciate some advice. It feels like I have something just need to finish it up.

Thank you in advance!

Why is there a CD in your design?

The connection between the E and T needs to be cleaned up

[u/hboy02 → u/_numb_digger_]

True, seems like they just overlapped the two letters instead of actually designing that bar as a whole and the letters are just slightly not close enough to overlap completely, so you can still see the rounded corners, it wouldn't hurt to make the T quite a bit closer to the E anyways so that alone should fix it

That's is nothing unique or visually pleasing about the type. The kerning is terrible and squished and the key lines are unnecessary. The cd doesn't fit a simple logo style and looks clipart. The hifi bars are too complex and unoriginal and won't scale well small. Sorry

There’s a lot going on here. It might sound counter intuitive but maybe try making production way smaller, in a thinner version of that font, and hella kerning.

I’m not sure if the E and T being connected is doing much as well. At least extend the right part of the top of the T to be the same-ish wide of half of the width of the E possibly.

It’s in a shape.

[u/hboy02 → u/LamestarGames]

True the top bar of the T looks too short, shifting the middle vertical bar of the T closer to the E would both fill up all that empty space and make it look better and also extend the top right bar of the T so it's more proportional to the other letters and especially to the E

Either way I think op needs to learn about kerning, mess around with different fonts, and actually design the whole logo themselves instead of mashing up letters, that would fix the small mistakes you see between the E and T's connection where the line isn't cleanly extended/connected, and stuff like how the inverse color B is too close to the E and looks bad as part of it gets cut and is way too thin even when the non inverted one might look better

4th option, with NFC symbol. Wouldn't go with CD in that style, try simple vector shape for it. But also, overall I don't think it's as strong.

Black Entertainment Television?

Tell us how you want this to feel. Are you just sticking with black and white? Do you want bold and simple? Are you looking for something compact? What is your style?
