Updating iTunes

Looking at the list of visual assignments that were available one stood out to me as being particularly interesting.  Being able to change and update the logo of something that everyone has used at one point or another is a great opportunity.  I have always found the iTunes logo to be outdated; it’s stuck when iTunes was a music player.  iTunes still plays music and sells even more, but has become bloated with iApps and iManagement.  As someone without an iPhone, iTunes makes it much easier to sync your phone than with any other software package (Android, BB).  iTunes logo should have evolved to show that.

To do this I have started from scratch and used a picture of all of the devices which use iTunes in one way or another.  Apple sells this synchronicity as a main facet of using all Apple products and I believe the logo should reflect that.

Here is the plain logo that I created at first

Unsatisfied I played with some photoshop effects to try and make the Apple products more subtle.  All of the iLife products (which iTunes is apart of) have separate logos that are quite different which made it harder to figure out how to update iTunes.  My attempt is below;

This is very much still a work in progress to me and I look forward to working on a new logo more.

I also cannot wait to see what the rest of the class cooks up, I would not be surprised if another iTunes replacement comes up.
