My logo design concepts

After some in-depth research into branding design including looking into examples of really brilliant logo designs that I found inspiring and clever, funny, witty etc. as well as also finding examples of poor logo designs due to lack of originality, bad quality design and unwittingly associated to rude meanings, I am now starting to work on creating a brand for Wolverhampton, and the theme choice I have chosen for this will be music.

To start off, I did a couple more brainstorms on Wolverhampton culture and music. Then I started sketching some logo ideas on A3 paper, using the theme of music. Below are a few examples of my rough sketches which i have penned and coloured in..

The first example at the top shows the letters o and l have been swapped to spell out the word love within Wolverhampton, and I highlighted this using a separate colour from the rest of the name. The other examples are more musically themed with the use of musical symbols and a cable wire spelling out Wolverhampton in a single line (wire).
