Needs:
The website is already there (www.piano-couture.com), but the current look / image is far from what I'm looking for. The structure and arrangement I do like though, so these should stay the same.
The new look should thus be accomplished by the things as described in the name of this competition:
- a new logo
- a new header (the whole part of the website above the main menu is yours to redesign).
- a font that matches / suites (or rather: enhances) the feel of this top part of the website.
- a background or colour lay-out (suggestions) so I can use this for the background / footer etc. myself.
These are probably all quite similar things that could also be described as: image re-design, but there is no such competition to be selected here on Brandsupply :). They advised me to try do it this way.
Image:
The 'old' 'classical' image of the piano is NOT war we're looking for.
We're thinking 'fresh', 'inviting', 'hip', 'new' in a way that pop-music stands to 'classical music' that might be a little 'neat', 'tidy' or even 'boring'.
An original mix between 'fresh', 'inviting', 'cool' and the 'vintage' image of the piano (and vintage keyboards).
The 'old' feel is only to be found in the vintage/classy/smoky old soul, jazz, pop/rock piano and piano=cool-feel. Think "Ray" (movie 'Ray' about Ray Charles).
Company description:
Target group:
People that like to listen to pop/soul/jazzy pop/singer songwriter/ pop rock music.

we're getting really really close with these last two. let me 'let them sink in' for a bit. I'll get back to you tomorrow when I look at them again and let you know if I might know the final minor finishing touch. Might be nothing,..
Just to check: I have very nice picture of some keys myself, might it be possible to replace your transparent background-piano picture with mine and use that one in stead on either one of these last two designs?
Truly love them both, hard to say which one I like best out of these last two right now.
Thanks so much!

SteSa says

As for the picture - of course it can be replaced with any other of your pictures.

coenm says :
Again, truly great tries! thanks so much.
Thing is, I'm getting a little bit of a 'dark' 'underground' even 'uninviting' / 'scary' feel from all of them (especially with 7). Could you add in some 'kind' 'fresh' and 'inviting' 'everybody's welcome and should join' feel? Or am I being way to vague saying this?
Also please leave out the 'jazzy poppy... ' text, if you're going to re-try on the 7a and 7b.
At this point I like version 6a and 6b best.
7a I don't really feel the 'swirl' keys in the logo.
7b I like, but the 'saw (movie)-feel' 'uninviting' etc... is highest with this one.
Really liking your tries, you're my number one at the moment.
Thanks so much. -

Like this one the least, altough it's nice to, it's to 'neat'.
4. and 3. I like best, but are also too 'neat'. If you'd be so kind to try again, maybe mix the 'filth' / 'rugged' feel of 1 and 2 with the vintage vibe of 4. and 3.
Love your tries, thanks very much. -

coenm says :
Very nice tries! I like different parts from different ones though :).
This one I like the logo from (though it might still be a bit too classical, because of the grand piano and also the font in the newsletter). Maybe you could take a look at poppy and his last design for my contest and take some inspiration from that. I like his 'piano keys' in the logo.
If you'd be so kind, loose the 'swirling' notes in the header. I'd like to have no reference to sheet music whatsoever.
The headers in all your tries lack something though. I like the overall feel, but headers need some adaption (do like the 'arrangement and the Facebook/twitter etc. icons on most
Thanks so much for a great try! -

From this one I like the 'rugged' feel, though the newsletter I think goes too far. Logo not so much on this one. font might work though...
