Top 10 Musical Instrument Logos

How do you buy a musical instrument? In this uber-competitive industry, image reigns supreme. Because logo design is a huge part of brand image, it is easy to see why the following ten musical instrument companies have such a fanatic following.

As the oldest family-run business in the United States, it is only appropriate that this company use an ultra-traditional music logo design. In this case, the logo is text only, with a font that is clearly reminiscent of the company’s Turkish and Armenian roots. The wavy designs of the logo communicate movement, while the plain black color and the lack of an image virtually guarantees that this well-recognized logo will have the staying power to last another several centuries.

This is perhaps one of the most recognized logos in the music industry. The unique font appears to be a signature, while the mixture of lower case and upper case letters gives an off-beat, artistic touch. The wavy lines created by the upper case E’s again give a feeling of movement that is very important in a entertainment logo design for this industry. The red color definitely grabs attention, but the logo is just as powerful when reproduced in black or metallic tones.

Halo Guitars Logo Design

This logo definitely ties into the name, with a halo crossing the ‘H’ instead of a normal line. This clever accent hints at the artistic potential of the company. The slightly different size of the two sides of the H adds visual interest while bolstering this creative image. However, the rest of the logo is ultra-conventional, with a simple black and white color palette and plain writing. The balance of the conventional and the creative makes for a well balanced logo design.

4. Steinway & Sons Logo Design

"I came into this project expecting to get the best logo for our brand. That’s exactly what I received. The team at SpellBrand used the descriptions of what we do along with a color palette of our site to design three amazing concepts. Once we decided on what worked best for our needs, they worked diligently to perfect the design. Their use of their project management software makes the collaboration painless. Great work team! We’ll see you on the next project! Josh"
