What moamoa said. Excellent concept, just tighten the execution. I prefer your original use of Fedra Light over Avant Garde or whatever. More elegant/refined. Or, if you don't mind using the most common sans typeface in use at the moment, try Gotham for a friendly yet geometric look that will compliment the strict geometry of the mark. Avenir could work well too.

It's an interesting mark - I think it may be a little too abstract for a broad audience to be able to grasp. For something like this to work you would really have to give the logo some context. Also, the type does not feel terribly integrated with the logo at this point. I'd really be interested to see the other variations too.

Do you have any other design idea's for the logo. At the moment you only have one. I'm sure the client would like to see more?
- I have 3 all together, this and two (very different) ones. But this it the first one i've worked up.WhiteFace

- I agree with Jnr.moamoa

second one is awesome. with some more color too it or just higher contrasted shapes. could be super

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.

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

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.

Good idea, but I think the mark needs some work.

A person with arms in the air = the conductor.

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?

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

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!
