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.

Funny how you are going full speed on an existing logo with some small adjustments: https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/540291286545690815/
Wishing you good luck with that. I take my unrated work out of the contest. (which was 100% home-made)
Most regards,

Hello Ted
We are musicians, not designers. We don't have experience on this area.
We made this contest, believing that there would be only designers who would be building their own logo from the ground up.
We saw a logo, we discussed is and it has been one of the few logos so far that everyone in this band has agreed on.
However, your point is valid and we do thank you for pointing it out. We will take this into account.
We wish you all the best.
Kind regards

Hi MakiMura,
I completely understand. It happens to often. Sorry for that. In the past there was somebody screening the logo's on originality, I think now they only react when you put a complain about the originality there. Shamefull but it's true. Never the less, wishing you well, and hope you'll find something original that suits your brand.
Most regards,
