Recently got back in touch with my old neighbour Mark (thanks, of course to facebook) and today we were chatting when he mentioned he is putting out a single soon on his own label. I asked (as I always do in these situations) if he needed a website. In fact he does, and has already registered sugasugarecords.co.uk but hasn’t had time to build the site yet.
We swapped a few emails and he sent me some graphics he designed for the logo. The idea was fine but the font was quite generic , so this evening has been spent trying to take the simplistic idea and just make it a bit more recognisable and less generic. I also plan to set up some more free hosting space over at freehostia, who I highly recommend if you’re looking to getting into web hosting – it’s reliable and free, and you can have multiple accounts. It’s not the fastest server in the world but it’s perfectly adequate, and great for getting a site up and running while you find out if it’s going to go anywhere. Basically if you get to the point where you need to move you’re site off freehostia, you’re probably making enough off it to afford to pay for hosting.
So anyway, here’s the designs. None of them are particularly exciting, but it’s a start. The bottom ones I quite like, but I’m quite conscious of the fact that it’s a bit reminiscent of reservoir dogs, so I might go for a different font, or a different colour.
In other news, the saga of the picture on Nicki’s Site goes on it seems. I got a better copy of the original source photo, so have re-done the main cover shot and it looks much better. the one I had was from a really small copy that hadn’t shrunk very well. Working from the original shot makes for a much more pleasing finished product.
