Summer Music Festival Logos! (or how I want it to be summer already, dangit).

Ahhhhh summer. Flip flops. Barbecues. Sprinklers. Ice cream. Tank tops. Heat. Music Festivals.

Unsurprisingly, summer is the season of choice for almost every single music festival. The weather is great to drive up those water prices, and it's least likely to rain, snow, sleet, hail, or any other type of precipitation other than humidity that could ruin everything.

Logos for these music festivals tend to reflect the mood of these festivals: exciting, stress-free, and full of creative energy.

Bonnaroo, arguably the most popular music festival in the united states, reimagines it's logo every year. The "oo"s in the logo represent a sideways infinity  and they even added a partial circle above it to represent a cd/ perhaps another infinity symbol. I loved the colors they used in the 2011 design as well, representing the sweltering heat with the orange to yellow, the farmland with the negative spaced grass and the discovery of new music and adventures, with the two person shapes walking through the "n". All these reasons  make the 2011 logo my favorite of all the years.

Firefly is a relatively new festival in Delaware, but their identity is rock solid. The rustic look of the font and the jar design creates as nostalgic feeling, and the name and idea behind the logo gives rise to those happy feelings of being a kid again, and worrying only about how many fireflies you can catch by the end of the night. The colors, deep green and light green, are tranquil and calming. Even though it's a music festival, and it'll be sure to be exciting, the colors and logo make it inviting and calming.
