- i think that it looks MUCH better, have you tried dropping the p down so its a descender on the y too?Spanna

What the Icon supposed to represent?

- haha, i actually tried this earlyer. The yorkshire rose colours looked wank IMO. I'm working on two other concepts involving the rose which i'll post soon.WhiteFace
- ...involving the rose which I may post later.WhiteFace
- ok...but i liked the chunkier version - nr. 2. I think the 'thinned' out version weakens the mark. The yellow is awful alright :)caoimh

I liked the vagueness of your original #1 & 3. The first thing I thought was "oh, look - it's the choir from above - nice".
I like logos that work as forms in their own right - if I can then realise there's a legitimate hidden meaning after initial exposure, then more's the better.
If you go down the route of making it obvious that it spells out YPC, you may as well just use the bloody letters.
So, for me, #1 or 3 - but work on making them look a little less techie - a little less contrived, a little less like a simply shaded 3d form.
But, wer, good work.

Your direction has gone steadily downhill, number one is the best.
I quite like it, but I think it'd work better if the lines were all the same weight / bars were all the same thickness

The first one was ok, but I didn't like the type, I do also think it is a bit much to ask to read ypc out of it. Great start yo!.

yeah, getting worse trying to force the ypc. 1 is still the nicest, but needs a bigger gap between segments.

Thanks all for your constructive input. I'm taking it back to the drawing board. I'll re-post once i've made progress.

i liked your initial option, the 1st one, i think you should stick to that.
I would make the letters only slightly thinner so that you keep that nice positive negative space going on. the single colour version would be my preference to the colours you have chosen above.
but these are merely straight up observations, that may be completely uninformed and wrong.
i think the initial mark is good though, i would differentiate between each letter, so its obviously three letters ( but not too obvious of course).
i also think that icon resembles 'a person with arms in air'
theres some gay post-rationalization for you. could be a direction to follow.best of luck!

make it represent choir stands OR ypc, not both. nice type, just need to refine the mark. i liked the first one too, in one colour. don't force it too much to represent the letters too.
- the mark looks a bit like that thing in the middle of a camera lens. maybe it could be a bit thinner?itstimefortea
- to better suit the typeitstimefortea

normally choir stands would be a semi-circle (ish) with a flat base from the audience perspective. Have you tried the choir stands turned and doubling as sound waves?

A person with arms in the air = the conductor.
- dirtydesign0
Good idea, but I think the mark needs some work.

If you are going to do away with the bolder lines, I feel like you should keep the tightness there still some how. Although there is a disconnect from the font and the size of the lines in your first 3, I feel like they were stronger than these newer versions with lighter lines and more whitespace.
I also think that even though it represents "YPC" that you shouldn't worry about the user reading into that as long as it is nice. Some people may see YPC, some people may see the rings of the choir, some people may see a nice symbol.

it's a bit obscure, but most importantly I agree with digdre: the 1st (which is the best of the 3) will look like the 3rd when reduced in size.
- yeah, make sure the logo works at tiny/small size also.akrokdesign

the 1st one is still the strongest. by the way, its okay to be a little bit abstract not every mark need to be design for kids. remember who your audience are.
