The development of our band logo:

Today our group completed our band logo which I started by drawing a falcon in Paint (again we got some inspiration from this off of Google images and used a template to get the overall shape of the falcon). 

The reason that we chose to include a falcon as the logos main focus is because as you know, it is a key part of the band name that we chose: 'Firelight Falcons'.

When it came to the colouring that we put into the bird, I first added the natural colours of the bird, but then suggested that we should add oranges, yellows and reds within it, as it fits into the theme of fire (reflecting our bands name and the colour scheme that we have been going with so far.

Here is the complete drawing that I did:

We decided to make it like this as when I first tested out the look of it yesterday, we all said that we liked the look of it (as it looked like a drawn/sketched kind of image).

I then sent this to the rest of my group, and Elsie put her idea onto it, by making it look more like a logo with a red background. She then made this into a circle shape with a yellow outline. 

Here are Elsie's developments:

Finally, we then had to think of the typography that we wanted to put onto our band's logo. To help us get some ideas, Tammy went online and looked for some different fonts, and then sent us ideas of what we could use. Here were some of our options/ones that we were considering:

Choice 1

Choice 2

Choice 3

Choice 4

We all decided that we liked font choice 3 the best (as it fit with our 'drawing style' that we put into the logo, this font fit with this as it looked like writing). Therefore, as we were doing this in paint, Elsie tried to find a font most like what we wanted, and chose Kristen ITC in font size 36. However, then we had to decide on its placement.

Here are all the places we considered putting 'Firelight Falcons' onto our image:
Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:


We came to an agreement that we like the look of the placement when the band name was inside the main red circle at the bottom.
 Finally, here is our final logo:
