Questionnarie - Record Label

For Commission (Unit 2) I created a questionnaire for people to answer about logos and names of Record companies that already exist. I have also mentioned names that I have come up with to see what their thoughts and opinions are on them.

These are the questions that were in it:
1. What do each of these logos make you think of and why? Sub Pop, Factory Records, Island, Trash Aesthetics?
2. Which record label do you like best and why?
3. What do these logos ake you think of?
4. What aspects of logos do you remember the most? 
The Text/Name
The Picture
The Colours.
5. Do Black & White or Colour logos attract your attention the easiest/quickest?
6. Does the name of the brand have to be related to what the product is?
7. If the target audience is 18-28 year olds what do you think the most important part is to include?
8. I have come up with come names for the company. Do you think that the names "Unmarked" and "on track" are suitable names for a record company?
9. Are there any names you can think of that are appropriate for an online record label?


I am going to print out 10 if the questionnaires and go around college and ask people to fill them out. College is a good place for this questionnaire as the students are the same age/around the same age as the target audience (18-28 year olds).

The name that they liked the best is "OnTrack"...this way my favourite out of the 2 aswell.They thought that the picture was the most important part of a logo and a logo should be colour to be more eye catching.They also thought that the logo should be simple and easy to remember to make it eye catching and rememberable.
