Record Company Logo

The idea of our project was to produce a music video and its accessories as if we were the production company. So, to make the situation more realistic we created the name and logo for our own record company which would then be used in any other creatin and advertisment we were planning to do such as websites and posters.
We first had to think of an appropriate name to call the company and decided on Dark Beat Records, purely because we both liked it and thought it had a professional feel to it. Then we had to design a logo. We started by looking at existing examples of Record company logos. Here are a few that we looked at...



You can see that most of the logos are straight foward with the name of the company and mainly a black and white style or on solid colour. They can have a unique effect such as the Major Label Records with the writing colour the same as the back of a disc.

We Decided to take the same black and white feel but give it a modern kick. We downloaded a font from the internet that we thought would look best in a black and white logo and gave it a simple glow on photoshop, spacing the letters apart appropriatley where needed.
