Clandestine
http://www.clandestineband.com
Clandestine's new labum, "The Invalid" (to be released on February 15th, 2011 by Nightmare Records) pushes boundaries between progressive, modern rock, electronica, metal, and even more mainstream audiences. The band’s ultimate goal is combining diverse influences and styles that mark a new generation with an unnamed creation. As a progressive band, Clandestine strives to find the sonic missing link between the past and future and does not represent a mere trend.
Age 15 to 30, male and female, alternative rock/metal fans.
The design should be tailored to be printed on a gray T-shirt
(We've already got one T-shirt design: a simple black shirt with logo on the chest, and we want to offer an alternative design. It should look a little more trendy than just a logo t-shirt but still fairly casual).
The less colors used the better: try to use only one or maximum 2 colors.
Front and back printing, nothing on the sleeves though.
Should look modern/contemporary. Nothing with skulls, blood, demons, dragons etc. We'd like anyone to be able to wear it.
Attached are 4 jpeg examples of the direction we'd like to go in.
Also attached is a layered photoshop file containing our logo. You can manipulate or distort the logo but it should be somewhat recognizable.
