I am starting a new band called: Lion and the Bloom. We are a 4 piece jazz combo and will be adding a full big band swing orchestra. We'd like a logo that is classic, bold and playful. (In that order) I have no color palate in mind per say so whatever inspires you and we'll comment back a lot to give feedback. We do NOT need to have the words Lion and the Bloom in the logo. (Although I wouldn't rule that out completely... Maybe a graphical logo with text under?
In general think of these words for inspiration:
Antiquity
Theatrics
Austere
Fun
Romance
and of course - classy.
I'm a big fan of trying to do something new with the old. I enjoy classic styling with our new look/feel.
