I know some of you (mono) live in NYC or spent a good enough amount of time there to know the logos/brands/businesses that line the streets. I just started a branding project for an established band - to me they sound like a typical late night show band - virtuosos, "jazz-rock-latin-fusion", engaging female singer... they're good and play festivals and have a few albums.
My goal is to make it New Yorky. I've worked out a typeface version with Gibson to get the big bold idea out of my head. And now I'm thinking... there has to be some things I shouldn't do... like clichés (see above)... and so here we are... what's overdone?
I kinda sold him on the "t-shirt-ability" of branding for a music group - "Do you want your logo to be cool enough for some random guy to feel comfortable wearing to the bar on a Tuesday night?" And I don't even live in NYC nor go to the bar anymore, but I do share on QBN (shine). I'll take thoughts and prayers from those who pray.

Nothing says "Tuesday Night at the Bar" like something 'New Yorky.'
