Logo Design Brief
I get it — my name is kind of odd and long to put in a logo and my name alone does not spark any cool visuals. I’ve received some logos and some of them ok but that being said, I’m very open to ridiculous attention grabbing visuals as long as they’re well done.
I have a deep appreciation for off-beat, over the top, and silly things. In fact, I have a handlebar mustache that has become my trademark. If you have an absurd idea… even if it doesn't match the words DJ Thomas P. Walter, bring the madness.
I want YOUR creative input. 99% of DJ logos that I’ve seen include images of headphones, a vinyl record, a speaker, a microphone, a bow tie, sound waves, or similar. This is absolutely what I DO NOT want. This is what people expect to see in a DJ logo. Having music notes or headphones in the logo is safe… I don’t want safe. I want adventurous. Ordinary is what I am not.. I don’t want an ordinary logo.
The money is guaranteed in this contest. If we end up with a strategically safe logo for DJ Thomas P. Walter, thats fine. But I’m hoping for one that people see and think, “wow, that is so unique!” This is your chance to run with that crazy idea that was too risky to ever use. Take that idea, stuff it with dynamite, wrap it in bacon, hurl it into the sun, then wrap the sun with more bacon.
I want a logo that reflects my personality and my brand as a DJ. I want to use this logo for a long time and I want it to be unforgettable. I want a symbol that I can put on shirts, business cards, my website, etc. Most importantly, I want a logo that I am proud to display.
My website is thomaspwalter.com - there is a lot of information on there about who I am and the services that I offer. It may even help to read through the reviews from my past clients to hear what that had to say about my services. I’m on instagram too, @djthomaspwalter, or facebook.com/sapskull.
I love all things music, but especially 70s funk, disco, and hip hop.
I am excited to see what you create! My website has color #c55f5f - it would be cool to make the logo vibe with that color.
