Logo Design Brief
Blind Smudge is a rock and funk original band.
We are currently recording our first release of 10 songs and will need a logo prior to the release.
Looking for a dynamic logo that we can use to identify the band with or with the "Blind Smudge" text.
Although I like the idea of having an abstract symbol that can be used with or without the text. I wouldn't say that's a must have though at this point.
The name Blind Smudge I know leaves a lot for interpretation and I'm open to any ideas you may have from just knowing the name.
The only idea I had thought of is maybe using a paint smudge is an abstract symbol but I would very much like to see other ideas as well.

Requirements
Must have
- The only must have is use of the name "Blind Smudge"
Nice to have
- I added some examples I quickly mocked up of what I am thinking of. I would like the paint smudge behind th etext to be unique enough that it can stand on it's own as a logo. Similar to Nike or Target where they are identified by just the image without the text.
