We need a band logo to use on products and social media. The band is an Americana band based in Nashville. We're more t-shirts and comfortable jeans, NOT boots and cowboy hats. We have a look closer to The Band or Jason Isbel than traditional country groups. I'll upload some files of the design and colors looks we like from other sources as a starting point. We need something without a lot of small design elements that would get lost in print media or B&W versions. We're a Nashville veterans with a sense of humor and big songwriting chops. The music uses pedal steel, mandoling and banjo even when we do arrangements of heavy metal songs. Can use "Ave." instead of "Avenue" in design if it helps with balance. Would be great to have something that worked in square or slightly-taller-than-wide rectangle shape. We like old trucks and dive bars. Examples keep the focus on the works while adding a little atmosphere through the shape and the font. Here are some fonts we like:

Also
Last, but not least, we love the colors in the attached osprey pic. Doesn't have to be this look, but the colors are both rich and not quite like all the other Americana bands at the moment, though similar enough to be in the Americana lane. Hope this helps. No eagles, flags, patriotic anything. The first example attached is more about putting some kind of visual interest around the text, NOT about the bird image. Old fashioned 5-point stars work, too. Thanks!

Requirements
