I don't undestand good what's the intention of the logo. Could you please tell us something more about your company... or future use of the logo?
Thank you.

To all designer: The logo will be used for a music distribution and publishing firm.

I am not a fan of the cursive look. It is not necessary to included the tag line into the design and including the 'A' is optional.

Thank you for your work.

Think more NIN without obviously looking like NIN. More hard edged.

Hi. FarquarArnot. What kind of music will you publish? Metal, alternative (because the NIN logo looks like that, but also looks like a Hip-Hop logo)? Do you have any information like web or something more to help us to understand what is your best option?
Thanks.

I like the NIN feel, but it's not quite right. If I had to pick I would think alternative, industrial (is that even cool anymore?). Thematically its about self reliance, shaking the system, challenging everything. More ragged, more rugged. Does this help?

Yes, that helps. Please, take into consideration that any information about your business, target, etc. could helps a lot on our job.

"Thematically its about self reliance, shaking the system, challenging everything"
Grunge, Punk, Hardcore? Translate your words (too) to a musical style, please.

Thanks again.

It's not a particular style. It's more of an attitude. We have and are producing music ranging from straight up rock and roll to electronica to jazz fusion to absolute music.

Let's focus the discussion this way: If you were looking to create a symbol for a cult, what would it look like?

Ok, I will try something with that.

#7: I've tried to integrate the concepts "shaking the system" and "changeling everything" with a destroyed like typography mantaining a sans-serif typo and, also remarking the concepts with the red ! symbol. At the same time, I've supported the NIN logo essence.
I think, maybe it's better for you to not include curves in your logo like most of the cult logos, but I can try to integrate some "elegant elements" into the design.
Saludos.

#9 is obiously #7, but I've corrected the up, down and lateral measures, the proportions of the "F" and I've added some color combinations.
