Frastic Music: Online Community For Independent Musicians

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Frastic Music is project dedicated to helping independent musicians profit off the free distribution of music published under Creative Commons licenses. Inspired by struggling independent artists at Berklee School of Music in Boston, Frastic Limited is in the process of building a website that will allow users to stream and download music that independent artists have uploaded free of charge, providing fans with a portal to great, free independent music while helping independent musicians develop a fan base.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We are looking for a logo for our website (currently under construction). We need a design that is clean, professional, and elegant, but that hasn't lost the sexy, mysterious, dirt-underneath-the-fingernails feeling we associate with underground music.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our target audience is 13-30 year old music lovers. We need our design to be appealing to fans of all different genres of music, with a particular focus on hip-hop and alternative rock.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

We really like the feel of apple's original iPod campaign. The shadow people dancing with headphones in; however, we are looking for something unique.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

A strong color scheme. I am partial to blacks and reds, but designs should not be limited to those colors. We want both a text logo (may incorporate a small image) and an image logo that can be separated but that work together. The word "Frastic.com" must be spelled out and clearly visible for the text logo.

We are thinking along the lines of a microphone w/ cord that raps around the text "Frastic.com", or an image of a musician playing the guitar as a background. But any other image that combines the professional and the underground is a possibility. We are looking for something that grabs our attention and makes one of us say, "wow...thats f***ing awesome."
