3Spins
3Spins is a service for musicians to incubate new song ideas via a shared, online workspace. Our service removes collaboration barriers by permitting them to contribute their own tracks and written ideas to recording projects whenever it is convenient.
The company is run by a small team of musicians and music junkies who wants to create something real and meaningful in the eyes of a musician
3Spins wants to provide collaboration and recording solutions for all musician and music junkies out there, whether it's a 17 year old high school student, a normal Joe holding a day job while laying down riffs in their spare time, or the full time musician.

UPDATED MESSAGE:
***Remember this is a logo, so it needs to be fairly 'CLEAN' looking, and CLEAR. It must be something that your eyes can scan over, and be able to instantly recall the general idea of the logo. Intricate scripting is really cool, but not suited well for brand recognition. In addition, we don't want anything that looks like graffiti or a tattoo.
