Contest Music artist logo design contest $50-$100 ENDS FRIDAY

Hi Everyone,
This contest is for a musical artist:

Logo:
UNMET [all caps]

Genre:
Dark alternative with folk and industrial elements

elegant, moody, mysterious, organic and non organic, hand-crafted, slightly ancient, slightly digital

Tone & Style:
Elegant, moody, haunting, mysterious
Hand-crafted but not too clean
Organic with subtle non-organic elements
Slightly ancient, slightly digital
Symbolic, minimal, maybe even cryptic

Reward:

$50 guaranteed to the selected design.

If your design feels instantly right, final, usable, and fully aligned I’ll double it to $100.

Multiple submissions are allowed, but please take your time. Human craftsmanship is valued more than anything here.

Winners will be picked by the end of the day Friday April 4th

Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!



Notes:

The final logo should work well in black and white.

Not looking for a polished, corporate look—more symbolic, atmospheric, raw.

No need for extra graphics or over-design. I'm looking for how it feels, not polish.

File format: vector preferred (PSD or EPS)

UNMET. A requirement not achieved or fulfilled. here is what I come up with, an unfinished/outlined UN together with solid MET combination in a folky dark and moody font play of letters. let me know what you think. thanks!


Here is an album effect that I will include in a very high resolution upon submission. Thanks!

 

Thank you for the submissions so far. Some interesting ideas here

So far, these are closer to what we’re going for with this project -



Very interesting design. I'd be curious to see a couple variations on this one. Maybe one that makes the straight lines look more hand carved in places. Something similar with a little more sensuality or elegance

These are good ideas overall as well. The only thing I’d say is missing is the element of human creation, something in the design that feels handcrafted and elegant.

 

Hi Contest Holder. here is a more handcrafted tune process. and the end result.

 

Enjoying all the concepts here.

@MikeRon I had a thought about a version of this with a sexy effigy. This is out of whack because I'm terrible with photoshop but maybe you can see what I mean, hints of female form. slightly asymmetric silhouette, maybe a ghost or a women that lives in the forest.

 

My Try, Hope you'll like it.
