    Did you try the whirl for the dot of exclamation mark?
    Maybe align RECORDS to the left put the whirl instead of the dot but big, overlapping the K.
    I dunno, maybe works.

    Client says my whirl looks like the "Coffee and Company" one.
    I made him realize that the original whirl is the one that really looks like the coffee one.

    The label was released way before.

      Who's designing this logo? The client or you?

      • Good question. Me. It's just the guy's not sure about anything. Not even if he wants a new one.oey
      • He questions everything. Than has doubts. Goes back and forth in his opinion.oey
      • |He has other label. With no whirl. First wants to keep things separated. Now wants the whirl also in the other logo.oey
      • Records from the other label have the logo in the middle of the vinyl. Too confusingoey
      • not even he knows what he wants.oey
      • Good question but we can't all earn money telling clients to do it our way or fuck off... Not all the time anyway..set

      The name of the label "TINK" is not a typeface.
      I draw it from scratch inspired in a mix from Futura, Syntax and Frutiger in a way to make it compact and related to the original logo when it comes to the "K".

      Something like this.

        Dear QBN friends, finally the time as come for you to see my work (in progress).

        I have other QBN account connected to my real name, but as you know me better by this username I decided to ask your help with this one.

        I'm stuck in this logo development...

        Original logo

        A, very good, client wants a new one.
        After several propositions client says he loves the old logo and is not sure about the change.

        But because the logo is dated he wants something fresh.

        I ask: "Why not redesign it?"
        Okay.

        First experiments.

        Client likes the 4th approach most. No doted "i".
        Client likes the whirl as "O" in "RECORDS"

        Client asks, can you please make the name more compact?
        Sure.
        And the "N" with all parts the same size?
        Sure.

        I show him the results.
        One with the regular N and two different versions the way he asked.

        Client prefers the 3rd option.

        After a few attempts client says:
        "I don't think the Records work with the whirl in there."
        Okay!
        Can you make it separate from "RECORDS"?
        Sure.

        I try I don't like it.
        It looks like this with no whirl.

        I try again with the whirl but separately from the word RECORDS.

        RECORDS is too small.

        I try differently

        And now?
        I'm a bit sucked by the whirl.
        I like it a bit more like this.

        What do you guys think?
        Thanks in advance for the input!
