Weekend

Above are my final logo ideas using different fonts. I used the pink colour (R185 G47 B142), because of it’s colour associations and also it’s use in the E4 and BBC Three branding which have a similar target audience. I used the 3D effect because it’s makes the logo more appealing and contemporary. Inspiration for this came from the logos of MTV Push, 4Music and VH1.

My initial idea used a bold serif font ‘Santana Black’ after searching through DaFont for a more unique font. I chose this because it stands out and is easy to read. After asking others for feedback, they said it looked too plain and uninteresting.
Next I used ‘Copper Black’ to give a more rounded look. However, the word was harder to read and it didn’t look right.
Then I used ‘American Typewriter’ which gives a more fun look and is easy to read. I will take this one forward as my final logo.
