Hi @MichaelDroste , I am not a logo expert, but from the above ones I would chose the second. But do I find it ideal? No. It has the focus on Windy and Town and a bit of Music. But at the end you want to sell music stuff and not wind or towns. I would create a 4th version focusing on music elements with a bit of wind and town. Just my few cents ☺ ---

These images look cool, I am not a graphic designer but the designer who does my logos always tells me a logo should tell your story, and if it contains words, if you were to remove the words would what is left sell your brand? I do not know if Windy Town means something over in USA? But I showed my wife who’s impartial and asked her what is this company selling and her first response was “Wind Turbines” or “Storm fences”. My suggestions to go back to basics, you sell music in different formats so you logo needs to suggest that. If Windy City is your brand and you want to include that in logo put “by Windy City under logo. ---

I was trying to go for minimalism Like Apple or Nike etc…. The third one has a digital wave form Literally music! Was hoping people would pick the third one… If you take away the words as Paul suggested- you have a digital waveform or music… 🎵 there is always the old music note …. Then colors: navy windy grounds the mark Teal color of waveform often used in DAWs Green town often used for bar metering in music programs ---

just got the graphic design files - might tweak the waveform and make it a little smaller… very happy ![Screenshot 2026-01-24 at 12.26.40 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/e/ce65644399dde8babe8c259644361b66c2942b01.png) ---

Much more balanced when the waveform is smaller… ![Screenshot 2026-01-24 at 12.45.45 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/5/4500514b27858ac8f387924d906cada0b4f8eabb.png) ---

Hi Michael @MichaelDroste looking at your logo is still having the core issue (from my point of view) that the words “Windy Town” does not tell people that you are selling music. I understand after your explanations that the curves should show a waveform and after the explanation I understood it 😀 I thought a bit about that and came to the conclusion that you need an extra Tagline saying explicit what you are doing. I made a short example. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/5/f59bf1f4258e0ca5c6fc7c7c8c558ecfc86398e8.jpeg) ---

Very nice of you to make a prototype! Looks very good Used to have windy town records trademarked Then went to just windy town Thank you for taking the time to make your logo - that was really kind of you.. Your right… logos should not have to be explained… Still perhaps needs to evolve more… Just for fun here was the original mark ![IMG_8482](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/e/5ecddb7c3b4eff2c9d0242fbf1b3bd8771cc7bde.jpeg) ---

Trying an animated gif ![IMG_8818](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/4/64ef52edcd1563ffeb13e4b385d5b04281920ba8.gif) Tried trimming and time correcting - still a slight stutter in the loop ---

For your music content, I feel the third one as it kinda looks like a sound wave also.
