For my second phrase I took inspiration from the American Funk Rock band 'Red Hot Chili Peppers'.
Red Hot 'Chilly' Peppers
I think that the experiments above are way to over the top, despite it being a fun idea. From this I decided that I wanted to shape the bands name into the pepper shape.
Below I experimented with replacing the seeds of the pepper with the name of the band. However, after just one letter, I decided that this idea was not strong enough.
Then I tried putting the words into the pepper shape. This was a lot more effective and after the initial positioning of the text I was then able to experiment with colour. I tried not only the typical, recognisable red colour but also more bright and clashing colours to reflect the style of writing.
I experimented with colours. My favourite logo was the Red and White pepper, I liked the simplicity of it.
From this I decided to start using the logo in possible merchandise for the band.
At first I decided to use cover most of the front of the shirt with the logo however after reflection I felt it worked best as a smaller accent logo. Also, as someone who buys their merchandise, I decided that I would be more likely to wear the shirts with the smaller logos. If I was to take this idea any further I would try actually printing the logo onto a real t-shirt.
From this point I chose to create an album cover for the band. I used the exact text from the pepper however put it into a sentence. This created a really fun and quirky effect. As I am very pleased with the pepper logo, I decided to emphasise this even more by putting the song titles around the shape of the pepper.
I love how the album is very simple in terms of composition and colour yet it is kept so impacting.
