Hi guys, I'm working on a headstock logo, what do you think of my first draft?

I like it. Simple, classy.
Thanks Dave. I've been thinking about it for a few months and thought it might be fun to develop.
Looks good to me Doc!!

Thanks! I have a graphic designer acquaintance in another forum working on a more professional looking version. I'll post it when finished.
when you're ready to work on my rivoli's neck, you can replace the epi logo with a Dr B! ;)
doc, I know you've said many times you're not ready to take on outside work, but I am a patient man (depending on circumstances!) and will be ready when you decide to hang a shingle and open your doors to the general bass public.
Hi Doc,
I would look at the point where the Bas key meets the Capital letter B.
I would want to avoid those two touching each other.
If you deliberately want to make the two meet, you might consider making the overlap a bit bigger.
Plus I think the typefont is a bit too generic.
cheers,
Rob

Good points, I'll take them into consideration. The font is up for discussion, although I do rather like it anyway.
I tried out a few options to see which typefonts work well with the Bass key you got

the options are legion... ;)
Hey, very cool! We'll have to see what the graphics guy comes up with too. I like a couple of the ones you did too.

Played with the original...
Looks good ! I have been thinking of doing the same thing, I am such a procrastinator.
This is the winner thus far...............

That one is the best yet. I would lighten up the bass clef to a grey or silver to let the text stand out a bit more.
We'll see, I don't have the original graphics form this one and the fellow who did it for me hasn't responded yet.
You could use an image of "mother of pearl" on the clef instead of black/white...
how 'bout use the clef as the "D" in Dr.

I thought about that, but it doesn't look right to me.
This is my fave:

Looks good Doc! I would with agree Mojo though - to me the bass clef is too dominant and my eye seems to focus on the clef first. I also agree that shading, screening, sizing and or color on the bass clef would improve it- IMO. ;D
Bryan/Skate's idea got me thinking...

You guys are probably right, but I do like it the way it is. I like the dominant bass cleft and I can't wrap my mind around the cleft as the "D" in Dr. But I really do appreciate the suggestions. Like all things artistic, it's a matter of taste. Even if you don't have any like me!!! :P

It's your baby - do it how
you like it!
As for taste - I've been informed for years that I have none ;D You'd think that my mom would be little gentler on me though? ;)
I don't like the bass clef as D either. IMO the layout is fine as is, just pick your favorite font.

Wow, your Mom's tough! Yeah, being artistic has never been my forte.
The most important thing is to go by your instincts/gut-feeling...
What feels right to you is all that counts, Doc... ;)
I like the spaghetti letters . I agree the clef in mop or paoa shell(my favorite). Doc I have a sheet some where but I imagine you would have the inlay done by an inlay expert. That chit is brittle as all hell. Im sure you could have the whole thing done by someone . Keep us posted . I gotta find that guild body I bought......
