Update 9: I think I am running out of puns for the titles, especially since this one is solar bad

I have recently had some fun working on branding for the Solar Band(originally kinda sounded like a solja boi product which is why it changed), and I have been exploring how the logo will look. At the moment, the current logo looks like the image at the bottom. It was created using a tool called Flaming Text, which is basically a really fun logo making tool. It has tons of font options and options within each font. I might end up making a custom, hand drawn logo, but at the moment, like the name, it will likely change, which is inevitable with development.

Update 8: Brand New

At the moment, the colors for the product branding is orange highlights on a black background. I thought, and still think this works for many reasons, but I now remember that Halloween and as you can see above, the San Fransisco Giants, exist. I don't think I'm going to change anything because of this but I need to keep it in mind. The other thing I did involving branding, this one being "brand" new, is the name. I think to stick with the teenager audience I'm going to use either Solar Band or the slightly slangy SolaBand. Other than branding stuff, not too much has been going on with the project, as I am gearing up to work on it quite a bit over February break hopefully.

Update 7: Charge of Plans?

I am experimenting with a solar pack reverse engineering, a wiring of panels that isn't super easy, or some combination of the two. Either way, I'm for sure going off from my original plans, but that's ok tbh. This is helping me figure out how to deal with design constraints, as previously, my designs have not hit any major issues, so this is still overall beneficial to me. I hope to get my materials soon(once I decide on the method of making.
