So I have been busy working on a new project, my first attempt at doing something online.

I am also working on a series related to outsourcing everything you can. Over the past few months I have tried outsourcing programming and design work.
Still not ready to try outsourcing personal business such as email etc. yet but considering it. Some of the experiences have been great, some well experiences.

So for this project, IOUmusic, I tried CrowdSpring.com to come up with a logo. This is one experience I think that will fall in to the great category.With no real set idea on what I wanted, I have received a number of sharp looking submissions.

I was going to wait until submissions were closed but maybe you will see something in one of these logos that with a small tweak would make it perfect.

So if you have a few minutes, visit the gallery and let me know what you think. Anything I rated 4-stars is one I am shortlisting, but I am open to thoughts on all of them. There may be some now that I have not yet seen or rated, so zero stars means that.

If you are interested in updates I am going to start posting on Twitter once the logo has been selected @ioumusic

Helping someone sell some gear – if interested drop me a line and I will put you in touch with him. PA is at the Rock Garden if anyone wants to see or try it.
