hmmz pardon me… but i feel …a band wont need a logo??
most of it is typography work more…
a symbol to represent them as a band would be more appropriate?
just my thoughts…

Maybe some abstract form? Maybe a sillouette of a boxer getting up after a knockdown?

I like this idea, would work pretty well. hard to illustrate though
:-\
All you have to do is this:
open flash, with two layers.
Bottom layer has an image of a boxer downed [or whatever], and the layer is locked.
In the top layer, you just trace around the boxer [the outline] and fill with black…
There’s the image
feeling bored and tired of studying… i did a bit of work and this is what i got…
my representation tend towards just words not much on graphics…
I like it…but still prefer no text 
opz… haha… think i never read carefully all the threads…
sorry abt that
How about this.
<img src=“http://protelecom.net/public/downnotout_set.jpg”>
I’m gonna be giving the client several different examples… I do not know whether they will like an anogram, or if they want a graphic, or if they want something extremely readable…
and BTW, the name of the band is <b> Down, Not Out </b> notice the comma…

i know it sounded bad, but when i said that yours is one i’d soon forget, i simply meant that it’s not too eye-catching, it doesn’t stick in your head. i’m sorry, that’s just my opinion.
i’m not trying to start a flame war with you, i respect you as a designer, i just didn’t like how you responded to my criticism, which is the whole reason you posted it on this forum.
that is why I asked if the logo was too cheesey… again, I don’t respond well to short comments without backup, from people whom I have had little contact with before. It is a fault of mine, but at least I recognize it…
This is just the beginning of the process people… just flushing out ideas. I do not just sit down, end up with one graphic, and go with it. I have clients. They need to see at least 3 different diverse styles to choose from. Then, when they choose a style, then we get into creating a logo in that style. This will probably go back and forth for a couple of weeks (unless they come over and sit with me and we create one together) at least.
end of rant

I would like to have some time to spend on this one-
I bet you could come up with something kick***
Here is about 10 minutes working on it…
:run:
oops I missed the comma :!:
One more thing- geez you would think I would put this all in one reply 
What kind of music do they play and if you already addressed this and I missed it sorry…:beam:
You should have this be a contest to see who can contribute the best logo 
jillymo:
nice, very hip grunge-ish…
I guess I should say that this band is blues/folk influenced, original songs mingled with covers, with a classic rock kinda feel…
the members are all over 40, and this is thier 465th band each… these guys have played with Paul McCartney, 'Stones, Henry Butler, Molly Hatchet, Bruce Springsteen, etc (all I can remember at the moment)…
Rev
wow - there are some good designs in here… good work guys.
Rev - have you started work on some other designs you could post, I would like to comment on them - it seems your other design has been commented on enough 
On a side note - these guys sound like a lot of fun and as if they have seen it all, I bet “meetings” with these guys is a good time!
Tuknuk:
I will post more when I have them worked out…
and yes, these guys are an absolute blast… real hard to get anything done tho…
Rev
rev i made this, might be good to look at all the ones posted and mix up everything you like about every logo good luck
thanks grim…
I’ll let you know what I come up with…
Rev
thats a logo??? keep it small simple and catchy
Maybe something more along this line then, since it is a blues/classic rock band. I would think it would depend a lot on the personalities of the actual members too, but something cool and funky comes to my mind when I think of a band like that. You know like maybe a weird looking sun type design or something along that line. The guitar thing has probably been way over used, but it does represent that type of music well.
Anyway something like this (with a little more work) might be what you are looking for.
I had better get some of my actual work done:tie:
Good Luck 
Jilly, nice work
And Dreamer - keep your comments to yourself if your going to be and a s s about it. “That’s a logo???” is being a jerk. The guy tried and came up with a result. More than I can say for you. So until you are going to say constructive things - dont type.
=) Thanks SureShot, and also R. Flash for the compliment yesterday.
Also, I agree with you about Dreamer. That was just plain rude and there is no need for that!
:bad:
