I like the first one better. Nice implementation of the notes into the type.

3 imo, but only as long as you work more with the L - A and fix the spacing in U-N, N-D, D-S

I should explain, these are three different levels of ornamentation, to be narrowed down to one.

I like the last one best. It's simple but gets the point across.

1st ideation:
i like the notes (i also prefer them used sparingly) but the face is a little upper class looking for a village. i would love to see more flow between the lettering since it's a musical idea.2nd ideation:
really like it. feels appropriate. i don't think the small dot in the O of A is necessary and it kind of makes it look cute which doesn't seem beneficial.nice work, monsieur!
- Thank you. This is pretty much how I am thinking.MrOneHundred

I preferred where the first one was going, as it was more ..er.. village-y - I'd like to see some magic worked with the 'lla' in Village and the 'un' in Sounds. Make those letters flow together a bit more - make it lyrical and harmonious.

- Not bad. May be more b/w mixingkgvs72
- You know they're going to pick this one.Tungsten
- It’s a Morris Minor Traveller. I hate the type and the execution is about 50% what I want...MrOneHundred
- ...but I know they will go for it if I present it.MrOneHundred
- noooooooooooooohhh_salisae_
- You know as well as I do, you have to play these things out in order to see why they don’t work.MrOneHundred
- yes but don't show it_salisae_

- It looked much better in my head, and this is about a 10 minute sketch... I should just kill it.MrOneHundred
- do a more graphic treatment of the truck and some new type. could be cool.dirtydesign

without the detailed brief it's hard to know where they are going with this but:
1) an italic or script font might work better.
2) If you go with the first option try mixing up the heights of the notes like a score would naturally be... also, the feel of music is there in the notes, but they aren't exactly note like... the round shape of a note is more connected to the stem. You could also think about adding in quaver lines or some other marks such as rests, etc... don't go overboard though.
It's also looking much better than this US company... lol

Two very different approaches but which one fits what the company is trying to achieve? What are they trying to say with their brand?
- The extent of the brief is “more arty”...MrOneHundred
- hahahaha... sweet in-depth briefing...NotByHand
- Amicus0
that's a serious brief there Mr100... they weren't smoking some the local hydro were they?

The first route is nice — perhaps keep the note shapes to the vertical parts of the letters only (maybe even just the U&N, which sits nicely) so the musical reference is more implied and it look less like ornamentation.

take away one or two of those little feet curl things.

Thanks guys, this has been helpful if only to reinforce what my own mind has been telling me. I will proceed to cutting off my failure-child hands after one last cup of coffee.
- Are you insinuating the Village People image wasn't helpful?NotByHand
- It was more... distracting than helpful.MrOneHundred
