Before, played in California's most booked cover band "The Trip", knowing dozens of hit songs by heart.

Yep.

On the album
Great music deserves great artwork.
And this music is the definition of greatness.
Reason enough for me to go all-in for the cover artwork of Dennis Atlas' official debut album.

LOGO CREATION
DEVELOPMENT and sketches
Here first raw stages of logo creation. Playing with the name's meaning while working out a fluid letter placing and good readibility. This shall work as website title just as well as a stage banner.
Next round! Almost there... Trying different ways to fit the name parts into the globe. Coloring added to get an idea of the final product. Matching the music's uplifting vibes with bright and contrasting colors while preserving an edgy style.
FINAL RENDERING
Setting up the design in vectors, adding colors, a brushed metal effect, and tilting the letters for even more 3D effect. Also, adding a little sparkle. Round and wide version for maximized usability.
