The prog rock formation from Ghent named "MakiMura" is looking for a logo and fitting corporate identity. MakiMura is a band which tries to merge different genres like metal, progressive metal, shoegaze and folk.

In this contest, it's your task to develop a logo and corporate identity which keeps these things into account:

- Try to go for modern an streamlined.
- Try to incorporate the dubble capital M's of MakiMura. Be careful that it doesn't start to look like a Metallica rip off.
- Don't try to create a typical metal logo.
- Try to go for a word-based logo. If you do want to incorporate images, then integrate the word MakiMura into the picture.
- Try to make a logo which looks good, both in black and white as in colour.
- Don't make it a cliché. If you want to get inspired by other band's logos, try to look at 70's bands and not at for example 80's bands.
- Try not to make a glam rock-ish logo, nor do we want an Iron maiden-ish logo and CID.
- Black Metal and any other unreadable typefaces are completely of the grid as well.

Within this competition, we'll also be adding a link to a moodboard, which we've created to check which colours we think would fit the vibe of the band. If you do want to make use of colour, you can use this moodboard for inspiration.

      Hey Gerard!

      Bedankt voor je inzending!

      Heerlijk dat je rekening hield met de twee hoofdletters en dat je het in zwart-wit ontwerpt. Wat je nu doorstuurt heeft veel goede elementen.

      We bespraken het even met de band, maar het was redelijk snel duidelijk dat dit niet het logo is dat we zoeken.

      Het is te compact en er gebeurt eigenlijk te weinig.

      We zoeken logo's die iets meer over the top zijn. Google bijvoorbeeld 'Tool logo' of 'Opeth logo'. Deze twee zijn veel visueler. Het mag voor ons meer zijn dan een aangepast lettertype.

      Laat de creativiteit maar even de vrije loop!

      Groetjes
      MakiMura
