I've been getting a LOT of comments along the lines of "It needs a 'Muzza' label on the front." That's where you lot come in... Design a logo/label that say's 'Muzza'. Either capital 'M' or lower case, and two zee's. I was visualising a script type font, SIMILAR to Marshall, but I don't want it to look like a straight copy. Also, not sure if I should put it along the top, a la Blues Junior, or on the grille cloth. Gimme some options. A pack of Tim Tams for the winner, and a blue and white OFC guitar pick if you haven't got one yet. Let the creative juices flow... | ||

It was my job in my career for over 40 years. let me know if you still need it and I'll get right on it. Had an idea as soon as I read this post... and for G o d ' s sake, forget about brush script! It's as overused as helvetica. I can send ya a file you can take to any local sign shop to have a vinyl decal cut from. If fillhixx sees this maybe he will post the logo I did for his band. I don't have it on this computer. I will need a measurement of the total area the logo will fill. Edited by DaveKell 2013-06-18 6:24 AM | ||

It was my pick of the ones Banjo offered. The others looked like they said 'Muxxa'. But anyway, I'm after something more original. I could've gone through all the fonts myself if that's all I needed. An existing font doesn't qualify as 'creative juices'. I don't know where is the best place to put the logo yet. That's why I've asked for help from you creative types... The front of the amp is (close enough to) 18" wide x 16" high. The 'fascias' above and below the grille cloth are 2" wide. Fascia screws securing the baffle board are 12" center to center. Area of the grille cloth is 16.5" wide x 12" high. Sounds like you might be getting the Tim Tams... | ||

I only posted this today> I'll get on it and have ya something by the end of this week. The file I send can also be used at a signshop with a computerized router so you can have a dimensional piece to attach to the grille cloth with double stick tape. That would be more authentic than vinyl letters in the small area at the top. On to the fun.... | ||

Joined: May 2013 Posts: 8 | Cool amp. Definitely on the grill ala this Supro. I'm not an artist but I see the two Z's in 'Muzza' being linked (kind of like ZZ top) and lightning bolt-like. Are you going to put some labels by the controls? A logo could go there also.

There are 3 different graphics on the right. The 3 on the left are all different too. Subtle differences, but different. Edited by muzza 2013-06-19 4:51 PM | ||

(Yeah, I know... they're nothing like what I asked for...) Bottom right. The 'U' on the left logos looks like a 'V'. Is this one of those "brain games"? I agree with Dan. But, personally, I like like the logos on the left as they are more decipherable. I would try to make the "U" look more like a "U" though. The Z's on the right seem to get lost to me, but very creative nonetheless. | ||
