DJ logo design tips
Define your branding
Your logo is one of the main elements that sets you apart from other DJs. It should show your fans and people who might hire you who you are as an artist. It also needs to keep the beat with the genre of music you specialize in or the type of events you appear at. Think about the feelings that the records you play evoke in people and use that as a starting point for creating your logo.
Choose the right font
Your logo’s font helps define the feel of your personal brand and it should clearly link to the style of music you play. It’s also important to consider the places where your logo will appear when choosing your font. You’ll want it to be legible on merch, your digital channels, on screens when you’re playing and more. A 3D font or block letters in uppercase would work well.
Use color strategically
Like typography, colors also play a large role in telling your story. It’s a good idea to research color psychology when choosing your logo colors. Most DJs will want their logos to reflect energy, vibrancy and a sense of being upbeat. Bright neon colors, particularly shades of green and yellow are popular in this area. Many DJs opt for a monochrome color scheme with different variations.
Make a graphic statement
Icons, illustrations and graphics also help you stand out from competitors. Make sure to choose a visual element that represents who you are as an artist. Images of speakers, headphones or a mixing desk let people know what to expect. You could also choose a symbol directly connected to the genre of music that you play, whether it’s EDM, house or old school.
