The document compares the logos and album art styles of several bands across different genres. It notes that Muse, Don Broco, and Kodaline have simplistic logos that appeal to mature audiences, while Deadmau5's mouse head logo and Goldfish's goldfish logo are more recognizable and appeal to younger audiences. It also analyzes how each band's album art complements their musical styles and themes.

1. Muse
The Muse logo is neat and simplistic
compared to bands of the same
genre (rock). This may be to show
they are more mature or appeal to
modern audiences (15+). The logo
isn’t edgy so this represents the
group as more sophisticated
The album art features a really
pleasing hexagon design. There
is a deeper meaning behind the
picture so again this sells the
view of them being more mature.

2. DeadMau5
DeadMau5 has his iconic helmet as the
logo. People recognise this straight away
as the artist is well known to wear it at all
times during performances. This could
appeal to teens as his music is EDM/house
which is a very upbeat genre to dance to.
All his album art features his iconic
mouse head. This makes it really easy
to identify his work. His album art
shows different art styles to represent
the mouse head.

3. Goldfish
GoldFish use a vintage look for the logo. They
also feature an illustrated ‘gold fish’. This can
appeal to younger audiences as fish looks like
a cartoon. Their music also features fun
animated music videos with funky beats. Their
work is very child friendly. Their target audience
could be anywhere between 10 and 40.
There album art has a vintage feel through
the use of their fonts and how it is set up on
the page. The orange colour helps to stay in
theme with the goldfish.

4. Don Broco
The band ‘Don Broco’ uses a very simplistic design
showing the initials to the group. They have the lower
case ‘d’ and ‘b’ on top of each other which look very
similar to each other. This relates to Muse as Don
Broco are a rock group as well however their logo and
brand seems to be very simple and tidy. With this in
mind they may be appealing to a larger audience.
There new album seems to be a throw back
to a 70’s look and feel using the neon lights
to advertise the bands name.

5. Kodaline
Kodaline’s logo is very simple but
classy as they use a tidy font that
has an iconic ‘A’ in the font. This
would probably be very
recognisable to fans and others
as it is a simple design but not
widely used.
Kodaline have used an eye pleasing
photograph of a lake in a mountain
are featuring two kids on a floating
dock. The album art compliments the
album title ‘in a perfect world’.
