LOGOS
LOGOS:
The job was to do two logos. One was for the record company that specialised in Techno/Electronic music and the other was for the DJ who owns the company, 'Diarmaid O'Meara'.
With the company logo I had to develop on the old logo that becoming increasingly recognised. I needed to make it more contemporary, clean and dynamic.
The logo for the dj himself had to fit with the style of music and also be striking on posters and other artwork. I used a font that had a modern feel to it but also gave accross an electronic, almost 80's feel. To make the logo stand out more, I developed a symbol that was used as the 'O' in his name, this symbol is there to develop the dj almost as a brand, so that in the long run his symbol can be used any where on it's own and be instantly recognised.
ALBUM ARTWORK
ALBUM ARTWORK:
The artwork had to fit with both the style of music and the title which was 'Anti-social Behaviour'. I made a few variations, including shattered glass reversed on to a white background and a silhouette of a rioter sprayed on to the background. In the end the above was chosen. The high contrast of the sweeping flames on the background really stood out and was an immediate impact.

Diarmaid came looking for a logo for his record label that was a modernised version of his current logo, that was dynamic enough to work within various mediums. He also needed a new logo for himself that could be used for various promotional materials and an album cover that incorporated both logo's and represented the name of the album title 'Anti-social Behaviour' visually.
