My cousin is a skilled musician on several instruments as well as voice. When she started her own business giving clients lessons, she approached me about doing her branding. For her logo, we needed a mark that would work for any kind of music. For that reason, I chose to stick with music notation. What really sells this design for me is the inclusion of a small easter-egg that only people who can read music will notice... The quarter notes are placed on the C and B lines (her initials).
