Two Tone Records
This is a record label more specific to my genre. They are an English label which mostly released ska and reggae influenced music with a punk rock overtone. For example they were The Specials label, and helped them release records. They joined them in 1979, and released their debut single 'Gangsters' which became a top 10 single that summer. The great mix of a unique, upcoming band with an experienced label definitely aided their success proliferate. They were prominently a bigger organisation in the 80's when this genre of music was still popular. Their logo relates to their target genre, by using large bold font and a black and which image of an artist wearing a suit. This image is similar due to many bands wearing the same clothes, and usually suits when watching this genre. Moon Ska World
This label targets the ska/ska punk genre of music. The label was founded in 1983, however was rose to its prominence in the 1990's with bands such as The Toasters and The Slackers rising at their peak. They branched off to form the Ska Satellite Records to target very small acts with a small budget. These are some more logos of ska/punk/cabret music record labels.
This research has helped me understand in more depth the roles of a record label. This will help me decide what type of label I would create, from the research, it would be quite a small independent record labels. Also, by looking at a range of logos, I noticed that many are black and white, and many differ in the quality. This could reinforce the genre being more popular in the 70's and 80's. This could help me in producing the logo of my record label. Also, I could use many different types of themes due to my song linking to many genres.
