Logo Design Brief

I need some help with my business! We are a team of three music teachers who offer lessons in voice, piano, and flute, and we serve ages 5-adult. I would like a logo that could work as a letterhead/decal/storefront sign, a cover for the website and FB page, and all the other respective graphics/brand assets needed for a website.

We want something that says "we're worth the investment" but also "we're super fun, and you're going to love working with us." Sometimes sophisticated, but never stuffy.

You can visit www.sanddollarmusic.com to get a sense of our general vibe (of course, that'll be updated after this process, but the copy is pretty consistent).

Attached are our (work in progress) colors and fonts -- please contact me at christin@sanddollarmusic.com with any questions! Thank you SO MUCH for your help!

Need extra days to review

Hi! I am so sorry to be so difficult and fussy, but I've realized that I made a mistake. The font I wanted to use (Cinzel Decorative) just isn't working--it's too formal, and it has us looking more like a bank or a realtor than a music studio. Moving forward, I invite you all to try fonts you think might work, because clearly, my idea isn't the right one! We need a logo that looks a bit younger (think something that would catch the eye of an 18-23 year-old). I'm wondering about using more black and white in the design, with smaller elements of 1-2 colors mentioned in our palette. I think I would also like more of an image-based logo than a words-based one. Our business is in a landlocked state, so too much beach imagery doesn't make sense, but maybe there could be elements of sand dollar/waves/trees/etc? Something that sort of abstractly evokes that imagery without being too obvious? I'm sorry to keep changing my mind, but I so appreciate everyone's help in getting me and my team closer to what we need! Thank you for your creativity and patience!
