Logo Design Brief

We are seeking a logo for merchandise and artwork. We are a power/melodic death metal band called Hallows Descent (no apostrophe). Our logo should be based around the themes of our lyrics: Time, mortality, despair, nature, and reflection. Our name represents the fall of the righteous and those who rise from their ashes (open to your interpretation).

The logo should reflect a Classical aesthetic that evokes the era of the Renaissance; elegant and intricate, yet legible (we are not a black metal band). We are not generally interested in any anti-Christian or clichéd imagery, unless it is relevant to one of the mentioned themes. Cosmological, mythological, and pagan ideas are included, but not required.

Our discography includes titles such as "Of Time Immemorial", "In Meadows of Dead Asphodel", and "Sleeping March." Choose ideas that properly express the sentiment that you feel accompanies ideas such as these. Artists that have logos similar to our intentions include Opeth, Moonsorrow, Ensiferum, Wintersun, Amorphis, and Born of Osiris (note: we do not want a logo that is too similar to any of these).

"Oh majesty and sovereign lands
Of ancient lore and cryptic tales
Please slow the ever-falling sands
That turn my life so bleak and pale."

"Death, take me while I'm still young
Death, let me die a proud man
Let time corrupt not my flesh
Why cling to life I've taken for granted?"

"And in the wind I hear them sing, just as they have before
Oh beautiful death, oh wondrous end, I cannot wait much more.
Take me away, my ancient friend, to your celestial shore
Time beyond all memory, I reach for you,
Embrace me with your warmth."
