Logo Wanted - Rock Band

Animal Factory Band Logo

Animal Factory is a progressive rock band with roots in indie, metal and psychedelic music. We are currently looking for a talented artist to help us in creating a band logo that will help capture our attitude and create brand awareness.

We are looking for a logo that captures what were about; essentially an indie kind of look to it on the surface with the sharpness and framework of old school metal. We are not looking for something super complex, in fact we would prefer something simple and memorable. Basically something that people will intrigue people without being overly obnoxious. Here are a few ideas as far as what kind of logos we really like which can be seen below. An image can be added to the logo however it is not essential.

As far as payment goes we will pay upon the experience of the artist as well as the number of drafts they are willing to do if necessary. Any interested artists can email me at seanschaefer@att.net. Send a little bit about yourself, the kind of art you do and maybe some sample works to give us a feel for what you will bring to the table. Also, feel free to call or text me at 224-659-3499.

Thanks a lot,

Your friends in Animal Factory
