Primary research for choice of font
Me and Liam went on dafont together and picked out 5 different fonts which we liked and thought matched the indie rock genre that we wanted our band to be. We went around the common room, which allowed us to get opinions from the target audience which we said would listen to this indie in our audience profile. It is the same age range as the audience profile however we asked girls aswell as boys when doing the research. We thought using both genders may allow us to reach the most creative and presentable option we can. We ended up asking 31 people and 15 which is nearly half decided on the top option.
We was both happy with the response of that choice because as you can see we put two choices of the same font "Nilland" but one more narrow than the other which shows we was considering this font more than the others from the start of the research. One of the fonts called "my type" also got 7 votes. I also like this font aswell but I felt like the typewriter font was very generic and typical for the genre we are approaching. The "indierock" font also got a reasonable amount of votes (4) but we thought the font looked slightly immature and wouldn't fit the image we already have planned to go for.
The research was productive despite already having a favourite font before handing out the options. It has made not bias to our band's font as it was a clear favourite from the age range we are aiming to target. The font chosen in my option also fits the edgy and quirky song we are using for our music video.

Looking into band logos
We decided to look into band logos before creating our own one. We decided to look at four different band logos from a similar genre to what we are doing. From doing this we gathered that most indie rock / alternative rock bands usually have a logo which is black and white. The Libertines and Drowners logos have a sans serif font which is bold and blunt and stands out. However, Arctic Monkeys' and Kings Of Leon's logo contain serif font as it is more wavy and decorative. The serif fonts in my opinion are easier to remember the band's logo than the other two. I think sans serif stands out less as both band's logos containing that have an image or background with the font which has been chosen. For our band we decided we would prefer a serif font as it is generally more eye catching. When doing our research for logo font ideas we will also include sans serif fonts aswell to see what our audience would prefer.
