TINKI

Now i just have to increase the number of concentric dividers to start.
it results better with the square "I" dot so you can center the spiral there.
Still I've tried, with the letters I've drawn the other day, but with less amount of dividers.
So what follow are some possibilities.I think this is definitely it.
I can use just the word or the full circle.
The two names together.This will give me time to work a proper brand.

I'm gonna experiment and apply what I've learned.
I totally love what you did albums!

You are not redesigning it, you are simplifying it right now. There's a difference.
Your client's logo probably started out with a sketch similar to your version and ended up with what is now.
I gotta say, the swirl is their original logo is really bad. But I think you need to start over.

Personally, these explorations come off as relatively amatuer in execution: the mish-mash of type, the weird swirl, bad kerning.
The word tink itself is, simply put, far more compelling than any of the solutions you've proposed. Can you get away with a well type-set logotype? The swirl communicates absolutely nothing to me personally.
A clean modern sans-serif that has a sense of style? Futura can be quite fashionable, but not in the way you're using it. I would ditch the other typefaces completely. The K sticks out like a sore thumb and the N looks wrong.
- swirl = record spinningoey
- This N is not the one I like at all. Totally looks wrong. like condensed. the kerning i understand what you mean.oey
- client doesn't want to spend money on typeface. only type logo is out of question for him.oey
- my association when I listen to vinyl records is not swirling, but robust, rich audiod_rek
- mish mash of type? like the cpompany's name mixed with the futura?oey
- he says also it can't be just tink because tehre's a lot of tinks nowadays.oey
- sore thumb. i don't know if i cry or laugh.oey
- i like the way you put things. i'm not happy at all. not with myself. not with the logo. not with the direction.oey

You need to get inspired son:

The type needs way more refinement. If you can drop the swirl then do it, if not find a way to remove it from the wordmark.

It's weird the way he tells me, reacting to stuff:
"I feel this one much more!"

Albums, you are summoned to the thread.
- I was thinking the same actually. where's albums when you need him. But d_rek's advice and input is great!oey
- appreciate the fact that he's so frank and straight forward. he could be a teacher.oey
- this sucks and there's no other way to say it. now go home and start all over again. you have 24 hours or you fail!oey

This is the other logo they want me to work on.
Now you know where TINK! comes from.So they use it separately, but the editions in this label use the swirl of the other logo.
They first said they wanted the stuff separated and now maybe they want the swirl also in this logo.
Honestly I would drop the swirl.
I would prefer a fucking gramophone, I don't know.And I would just use one label.
But it's not my business.They confuse themselves with this.

I was trying to avoid, mainly because of the swirl, the following formulas:
1 - name inside a circle
2 - logo on the left of the company's name
3 - logo centered on top of the company's name
4- the above plus "RECORDS" with the same typeface but light and smaller, also centere
5 - logo to the right of the name
6 - hipster x logo
7 - I did a version of TINK! and a bar/stroke to the right with the extended name, like a lawyer company or something or a bank.
8 - symbol between wordsI don't know, after a week of sketches and ideas, i had a week of sending stuff for feedback and working around trying to avoid having a logo like i don't know how many.
In the end maybe if it's similar to others in the formula is not so bad.
Well, better than this anyway.I don't dislike the last one that much when compared to the others.
I was also a bit positive about the direction of the last one from the top four.But now i feel like i should start all over.
And he needs it for yesterday.
I should deliver it tomorrow.I have more work to do.
But if i tell him to forget this shit and this concept it might be a problem and I think he will freak out.I prefer not to take it forward if I'm not happy, but it's too much pressure now to deliver something when they're waiting for it to make t-shirts and edit another record.

Personally I think the swirl could be a really nice element to play with, if done well...
That's the last thing I'd drop

Try simplifying the redesign.
Remove the swirl, (or minimise to the bottom of the exclamation mark)
Redraw the original type with a better K.

Make tink records into the record arm and needle.
