Logo Development

Originally, the band's logo was created solely from a given format of a programme called FreeLogoServices, and incorporated with a smokey background. However the given effect that I ended up with lacked a good representation of the band. Moreover the editing skills were of a bad quality as you could see the background lines from the FreeLogoServices editing station. 

My next step was take away the format from the logo programme as it didn't suit the effect that I wanted to show (which is to represent the band's fun and creative nature). All the format gave was the indication that it was music based as it showed off instruments. But in a logo, all that needs to be given is the name of the artist, not their profession. 
For a band that is targeting a audience of teens to young adults, also the fact that the band itself is called the young, I felt that I needed to relate to this through the art used. So I felt a hand drawn spray paint design would suit fairly well. It shows off the band as being youthful and stereotypically, misbehaving. 

However, I found the colours a bit tricky to manipulate as it would either look bad or it wouldn't be visible. So, I scrapped this idea and began to hand draw a few ideas. 

The two that were drawn here were the best of my attempts as I felt they both have a modern feel to it. However I took the devil design into preference as I felt it would appeal more to the audience for being a more creative look and it also describes the personality of the band a bit better as being a bit devilish. This again is a stereotype of being a rock genre artist.
I then took the devil design and began to hand draw it using a programme called OneMotion. This allowed me to get a basic design down to which I would be able to develop further on photoshop. 
Everything including the cloudy background is drawn and I feel this rough, amateurish effect further describes the band further for being young and playful. 

I needed a centre frame however as the text didn't stand out. So with the use of photoshop I went over the text and added in a background shape to make the design stand out more from the background. 

Now I have two final logos; the devil and the spray paint one. I couldn't decide which one I preferred more as both had their good and bad effects. So to resolve this I got my classmates to pick their personal favourite.
With a majority vote, I have decided upon the spray paint idea. My classmates said that the design was easier to understand as it had a simplistic effect and moreover, the colours are more defiant, in that they stand out more.
