Record Labels

These are some record label icons that I have found during my research into record label icons. I wanted to create my own record label icon to add to my album back cover to make it look more realistic and follow formal conventions of a digipack. All of the icons are relatively simple and just black and white which helped me understand that the icon does not need to be too over complicated.

This is my own record label which I created, based on the research I conducted into real record label icons. I decided that as it is an icon for a record label that a record player image used for the icon would be appropriate and instantly strike out to an audience. Furthermore, I stuck to the formal conventions and included writing to give the icon a brand name. I created the name 'DM Records' as this instantly reveals it is a record label and impacts the branding. The font I used is from the website dafont.com using the font Chocolate Dealer as I felt this gave a retro look to coincide with the retro record player icon.
