nicolas PETIT
Dear designers,
I am a Belgian DJ with a great passion for clubmusic. The musicstyles I use to play are: progressive house, club, electro house, electro, and a bit of trance. When I mix, I always try to give the audience the very best of myself with a selection of the best tracks, smooth mixing and even some entertainment ;-). The thing I like the most is when clubbers arent able to hear the passage between 2 tracks. This isn't always easy and it needs precision and a good track order.
My target audience is very large. We're talking about students, working people, young and old people (16-45 years old.) Black, yellow, white and brown people, no preferences :-) ! Persons with or without money... The only thing these people share is that if they come the hear/see me, its beacause they want to dance.
Now, one of the reasons I want a logo is that after a party I want the public to know who this one dj (that made them go crazy ;-) was. This means my logo will be printed on T-shirts so that everyone can read on my brest that I'm nicolas PETIT. This is something important to me because on a flyer you'll often see 4 or 5 dj's but no one on the dancefloor knows the time-schedule. This is why they must be able to read it and next time they see my name, they will remember the party wher they made so much fun.
Second reason for a logo: I want to be able to use it as an album art. For example when I drop a mix online.
Third reason: It will be printed on promotional items such as Flyers, stickers, posters, cd's, ...
I've been thinking on a great logo for a while, gave it a try myself and understood that it was better to leave this over on you :-).
The Idea is very clear as you can see on my drawings. I want a drop of dark blue paint with a grid in it. Trough this grid (through the holes) you can read my name in red on a transparent background. I want this grid with little holes at the outside and increasing holes the more you get to the center (to give the heart of this drop the aspect of a 3 dimensional ball.) The form of this grid shouldn't be a square but a 'rounded square' like mentioned on the drawing. Around the drop of paint I would like to have no background color. If I print this on a yellow T-shirt for example it should really look as a huge drop of blue paint on a yellow background. Trough this drop you can EASILY read my name in red and the "empty" holes of the grid are filled with the same colour as the support, in this case yellow.
My name should be written with PETIT under nicolas and both must be the same width like in the yellow/blue attachment. Let yourself go on the type of character.
For the easy and low cost printing of my logo, please use basical colours.
I need the final logo as SVG, .ai (CMYK), .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
