I don't get it? A heron:
My problem with the dark rock-y style/font you've used is that I immediately read it as 'heroin', which clearly it ain't.
At the very least, you should angle perspectify your text to match the angle of the banner - at the moment it just sits there, flatly.
If you're going to go down this route - I'd suggest MORE detail - more to muss it up and grunge it, as it is the feathers look odd and nothing really gels.
Did I mention I don't get it?

Definitely choose a different font.

is that fakir??
- sinisnap0
yes it's fakir
i've put a couple of different permutations up
nairn: i realize a heron's a bird, i just didn't want to use the obvious image..ie a bird. so i started thinking about feathers...
thx everyone for feedback so far...we have to decide on this today as the label's first press release is going out tonight!

But that's like having a logo for MC Hammer which consists of a pair of Y-fronts.
Sure, MC Hammer wears y-fronts - ALL mediocre early 90s entertainment-rappers wore y-fronts, but it's not what he's known for - it's not the core of MC Hammer.
It's the trousers that make MC Hammer - the loud voluminous pants.
As with a heron - of course it has feathers, all birds have feathers - but we're talking heron here. Either you address the heron on its own terms - or you ignore its facets utterly.
You see what I'm saying here? Put y-fronts on a heron.
You know it makes sense.

Addidas, also though middle one looks like a marijuana leaf.
I would look at other aspects of the heron, maybe foot prints???
What sort of music is it.
- sinisnap0
dancer:
not specifically one genre of music...kind of all over the placenairn:
you make a good point (any point that uses mc hammer as an analogy is generally a good point)...

try using comic sans. sure shot.

honestly, i think you should push a couple other ideas. get rid of the banner. lose Fakir. think about what other elements a heron exhibits and fool around w/ them
