************** ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION ******************
Calling all TECHNICAL, DETAIL-ORIENTED Designers!!

Last year, I ran a Contest and chose a very nice Logo for my House Music Label
(See attached image labeled: FloorFriendly_Logo)

This Contest is NOT for a re-design, it IS to IMPROVE current design
This Contest is MORE Technical... 'Enhancement' to current design

PLEASE SEE attached IMAGES... I carefully selected popular House Music labels
(**go to www.beatport.com if you need more understanding and feel)
PLEASE understand (****and see all LABEL examples****):
- all these Labels have a Simple, Clean feel (I like this)

***Designer must provide a lot of Options (Requirements below)***

MY LIKES (current Logo):
- I like the idea of the F's... the shape/font/Logo & "Floor Friendly"
- I like the idea of Metallic with drop shadow on black background

MY DISLIKES (current Logo):
- I feel the F's are too small in proportion to the "Floor Friendly"
- I think the F's can maybe enhanced a bit (different Metallic gradient or other)
- I think the background is OK, but maybe there's another idea?
- I'm not crazy about the Gradient shadows of the background, any ideas?

PLEASE NOTE:
- I do understand a Solid Black background causes an issue with the drop-shadow
- Is there a solution for this? Inverted background/logo options would be nice!

ATTACHED IMAGES:
- I made examples of different center-bar COLORS
(*COLORS represent different STYLES of House Music)
- I did a mockup of what it will feel like on Beatport's website
(*THIS IS NOT REAL... it's for you to see the feel of current design)

NEW LOGO REQUIREMENTS:
- Stay true to the feel of the Current Logo design
- Show me minor enhancements / options to the following:
--- Scale/size of F's (make bigger) and "Floor Friendly" (make smaller)
--- F's can be scaled up OR a stronger presence (I'm open to ideas)
--- Provide option for Metallic texture on F's
--- "Floor Friendly" can also be white or other color
--- "Floor Friendly" can be a different font, if you prefer
--- I'd like to see "Floor Friendly" equal Width of LOGO
--- I LOVE ***SYMMETRY*** so please pay attention to details!!
(((spacing should be ACCURATE : VERTICALLY/HORIZONTALLY)))
--- Consider the VERTICAL feel (**of attached Label Examples with Song/Artist titles and how it's spaced with my LOGO and "Floor Friendly")

PROVIDE these OPTIONS please:
- ILLUSTRATOR or PHOTOSHOP files - CS6 Compatible!
- I need ability to open my CS6 and modify Colors, ETC. in the future
- LOGO only option (without words "Floor Friendly") - AI, PS?
- "Floor Friendly" words ONLY option (without LOGO) - AI, PS?
- some Background (texture) options (mostly black, but WHITE is OK too!!)
- IMG SIZE must be SQUARE (ex: Beatport thumbnails use 312x312)
- Center BAR: must have ALL colors (*Palettes/ideas attached) with Metallic Gradient "overlaying" the Color (NOT a SOLID Color)
- Song Title and Artist placeholder (Ex. attached) would be nice plus!!
((So I can open llustrator/Photoshop and Change them for each Release))

Thanks everyone... and GOOD LUCK!!
Any questions?? Please ask!!

Please do not change the LOGO. I like the OLD logo. You're not reading the description. It's not as complicated as you may think.

If you are getting the idea of what I need.... at least I will feel I can open a dialogue with you and that you understand the vision.

But if you spend 10 minutes and just post basically the same as my Current Logo, then I have no choice to reject the design.

Textured black background options are a good idea. This will help maintain the drop-shadow

Please don't forget to read carefully the list of requirements...
for example, in my included files, you'll see SPINNIN records, where the LOGO is big and "Spinnin Records" is smaller in comparison. This is one of the things I'm looking for. You can try different spacing between the Logo and "Floor Friendly". Please keep in mind, there should be consideration for an ARTIST name and SONG TITLE along the TOP... so all 3 components may be equi-distant. This is something you'll see in the SPINNIN RECORDS example I included.

Everyone, please read the Full List of comments and requirements.
Also, please see ALL attached files to get a sense of context.
One of the most important requirements:
- to enhance and enlarge the LOGO and to shrink the "Floor Friendly"
