Initial Logo Ideas

We all discussed the ideas between us and then will all create designs separately and come together and see what we come up with.

I like the idea of the letters with falling figures contained within them. The band also like the colours orange, green, aqua and red so they could maybe be used for the logo, or just left to the characters. Another idea is the words with tassles coming off as if falling through the sky. Also shadows falling too

Answers

Answers to my questions are :

• How much movement do you want on your website? ie a video, images flying across the screen, one small section etc...
• Video, playlist or slideshow
  

• What computers do you use? ie Macs or PCs. What are the computers at school?
• PCs
  

• Do you want the website tailored around your style? This means the site would need altering dramatically if you change your look
• If based around scrap book image idea, it would be generic enough to never need changing. They like the idea of a collage of items important to them, ie a St Chads School crest etc
  

• Do you want your music to play when the website loads or have the option to play it instead?
• Option to play as long as it's obvious
  

• How often will the content change? ie news page that needs updating regularly, new songs etc
• Quarterly
  

• Are you happy to have information about yourselves on the website for all to see (eg a Bio)?
• As long as just general info it's ok. Need consent from the parents of the other band members
  

• Do you want a guestbook/forum on your site? Is that important to you?
• Yes but with the ability to check the content first
  

• What pages do you want? ie Home, About the Band, Gallery, Songs, Gigs etc...
• Home, About, Gallery, Songs (with lyrics), News (with Gigs on). Links from the home page.

Summary of style preferences

So far I can see that the same things are coming up again and again :

• Black and white with red or one striking colour
  
• Cartoon images
  
• Handwritten font
• Simple, clear designs
• Band picture with instruments

Gavin's Work re Style and Colours

Gavin produced some sheets with thumbnails of album covers and posters from the bands that Freefall like. The band noted against the ones they liked and these are the results:


Like the style of this poster


Like the style of the photo (looks like a Paramore one)


We like the cartoon style of it (different), background slightly boring


Clear band name and big photo of band


I really like this : Mix of pictures and designs / patterns and background


Style of picture


Like the way it fades. Font looks good


We like this one : Colours & Instruments


Black and white pics, simple

Simplicity


The guys like the idea of T-Shirts
