We at Moon Tone Records, LLC, located in Nashville, TN, need a logo design for a brand of music we are calling "RIP Country," which is an acronym that basically refers to a style of music that is modern and mainstream that contains Rock, Indie, Pop (RIP) with a toe in on the country music side. But RIP country goes a little farther and deliberately incorporates, even bolsters, stylistic elements from various popular genres, such as Anthem Rock, Rap, Reggae, etc. to differentiate the style from other modern brands of music. This logo should be super cool and create demand based solely on it being super cool. It should also incorporate "Nashville" somehow, not with words, but with subtle creativity.
Target Market(s)
Mainstream Pop/Rock/Country Music fans, and should also convey a very "Indie" and "Edgy" vibe. Definitely needs the "Cool Factor!."
