client is a band that doesnt mean anything
and wants a logo like "mcdonalds or bmw or the beetles" "something that is unique and symbolic" "something i can draw, like on someones arm"
How do you create a logo symbol for something that doesnt stand for anything..
The name is 'Vice db'
"vice because it sounds cool, db because there are too many things named Vice"Problem is, this client is paying really well..
Gah

what sort of music is it?
- iwlyfel0
"rock, normal rock, pop rock, even a little punk and heavy rock"
"like story of the year or green day"

just pile the letters VDB on top of each other in a creative fashion
- iwlyfel0
you know acescence
as easy and as obvious as that sounds,
i didnt think about it at alli've been so worked up over the fact that the name was meaningless that i didnt think about the obvious

"vice because it sounds cool, db because there are too many things named Vice"
LOL!
Let us know how it goes, and what you come up with.

hold a 500 dollar logo contest, pick the best, change color and pocket the rest of cash

sounds like something that you could catch from a undercover hooker.

forget the meaning of the name - just go with what they represent.
like - apple computers, you dont think of apples, but of what they represent.
so just do a gothic/blackletter type mod and then put some paintdrips running off conveniently random letters... shazzam!

i love log threads that basically start with
forget the name just make a cool shape it doesn't matter if the concept sucks dick.
did you tell this band they would have a much harder time using a name that sucks???
pick any name out of the band name thread and you are off to a better start.
i hope a cool symbol gets em there.

the only thing i can think of doing with the letter V D B is
D V B with a big V and a backwards Dim just going to draw a guitar,
back a lower case d and b together to make balls, stick the guitar on the top and show it shoved into an upside down V^

there you go, when can i cash my cheque?
- monNom0
sell them a triangle.
then makeup a bunch of arty BS to sell it...
timeless, classic, minimalist, so un-unique it stands out.

you're just as well to make the logo an empty box with a tiny Vice DB in the bottom corner.
this way you could snidely be making a comment about their vapidity and uselessness.

shoot $1000 over to Timson via his pay pal and call it day.

or take an empty talk bubble (like out of comic books) turn it upside down, and put an asterik in it.
