Timeless Luxury Logo for virtuoso music group

Above Brass

Above Brass provides virtuoso brass music for special occasions. These events include weddings, church services, and corporate events.

We provide truly world-class musicianship for unique events, hosted by people with discriminating taste in classical music. We provide higher quality performances than anyone else in the marketplace.

The goal of this logo is to provide Above Brass with a web and print identity, which will represent the quality of the musical services we provide, and be instantly recognizable to event planners and clients as a luxury product.

I am an independent musician, and love having my projects look great! It is equally as important to look good as it is to sound good! This is my second contest, and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing your design! Thank you!

The target market lives in New York City, and includes high end wedding and corporate event planners, as well as affluent New Yorkers who appreciate fine music and spectacular occasions. Many members of the target market will be middle-aged women who are appreciate fashion, style, design, and the “finer things in life.”

Note: Please work on this project without browsing the other design submissions first. We would love to see your unique ideas.

The logo may simply be customized text, or include images. Your logo will form the basis of the visual brand for this company, and the decision is up to you to decide how to best represent Above Brass.

The design should be simple, unique, and recognizable.

We love great typography.

The choice of what colors to use, if any, is also up to you to decide.

Take inspiration from other luxury product companies, like fashion, luxury automobiles, jewelry and architecture.
