Brief from client
Not for a client. This label is about music. I will appreciate any type of feedback honesty is allowed.
This logo is related to music. A label that specializes in the music industry and goes in cover arts. BTW I'm not a professional. I did it just for fun.

Just some questions, why the cowboy hat and what does the "CR" stand for?
Besides that the symbol and colors aren't working for me. The symbol seems a bit random with the "CR", cowboy hat, and a record disc. Same with the colors in the corner. My guess is since disco balls are colorful at times is the reason for the colors. Without background info these don't feel like they make sense all grouped together.
I'd recommend having some fun with it. If the cowboy hat is related make a badass disco ball symbol and have the plates that make up a disco ball have a cowboy hat shape somewhere in it just as an example for an idea.
As for the type it isn't bad or anything and it feels groovy which fits with disco and if that's what you wanted it works.
This is a personal design for self-use. The cowboy hat stands for the way I wear my hat tilted in my head as it appears on the letters, it also represents the country genre and the CR are my initials. Thanks for the FB.
Thanks for the background. It does make more sense with the proper context. With that in mind the CR and cowboy hat would make sense to keep but, I would get rid of the record. It's unnecessary and just takes up space which could be used to make your Cowboy CR be more prominent. Also thicken up the CR so that way it doesn't feel fragile which goes against what the country vibe usually is with being rough and tough. Though with how thin it is now it does look like a lasso rope so that could be something you can work with but, either way I recommend giving it some more thickness.
Looking at it now after some time I don't mind the colors in the corner as much though the bright cyan and yellow seem a bit too bright especially when compared to the red and blue on the left. I feel those colored corners could work if your CR and hat was the main focus and the record was removed.
Sorry for such a late reply. Hope this helps you some even if you already moved on from this project or have changed it already.
I will make the CR thick and remove the record. I am still working on this project I was just waiting for a reply because you might have a second thought on the artwork based on the background.
