Comment on Entwistle Logo

I think I finally solved the comment-post challenge!

Virginia had a good point I hadn't thought of—classic style/classic(al) music. Plus, considering the client likes Art Nouveau, I think your design is a fine solution.

My only criticism would be that, for me, the Art Nouveau style and pianos don't quite mesh stylistically. Art Nouveau is more of a visual style, while pianos conjure up an auditory/musical style. Does the musician play music from that time period? When I think of Art Nouveau, I also think of it as weaving its style into the item being illustrated rather than around it. I would like to see the surrounding natural forms harmonize more with the piano.

On the flip side, I like your color choices, which exude the desired theme of water. I also like your font choice, which is classy and refined. I looked at your client's website and the logo worked well on his site. I liked that it was centered on the home page and to the right on subsequent pages, which added some nice variety while still maintaining continuity.

  1. Sue, welcome to the blog! Thanks for your comment. The pianist performs pieces written in the 1800s, a bit before the Nouveau period. If he played more contemporary classical pieces, I might have integrated the frame with the piano - but I chose to follow historical design a bit more closely. Thanks for your thoughts - I look forward to your participation, and can see that your feedback will be insightful and illuminating!
