We need a logo design for our record label "Pentagram Records". We are an emerging label as well as a recording studio. We produce our own music as well as signing other artists.
Pentagram Records has high self-imposed quality standards and we do what is best to provide the most opportunities for our artists to develop successful careers. As well, we want to assure our audiences that we will only produce music that is always meaningful and has some value to provide to the market. No fillers.
We need a logo that reflects professionalism, confidence, seriousness, and timeless charm. We would like to see designs using black and burgundy, but are totally open to any suggestion.
No stars, records or initials in the logo symbol, please.

Requirements
Must have
- Our company's name: Pentagram Records. A professional and confident look with timeless charm. We want to inspire trust to our clients who can be musicians or media corporations or retailing chains. Seriousness and corporate attitude is required. But we also want a glimpse of boldness to remember music consumers the enjoyable experiences our music provides. It's the entertainment industry, anyway.
Nice to have
- A simplistic image logo (symbol) that could sometime in the future be our main form of identification (without the title Pentagram Records) once our brand is well positioned.
Should not have
- STARS, RECORDS, or INITIALS
- Obvious elements such as a record (vinyl, cd, etc.), microphones, music instruments, stars, etc.
- Elements that would define a limited scope regarding the musical styles we produce. For example, nothing that would clearly make us look as a heavy metal label, or a hip hop label. Our artists have all very varied styles and we embrace diversity. We would rather go for something more generic, corporate, and elegant if possible.
- Highly detailed logos or designs. Simplicity is preferred.
