Regian Music is a music service provider company established in 2021 and has been operating in the regions of Cirebon, Indramayu, Majalengka, and Kuningan, contributing to various events including parties. The Regian Music band has the potential to emphasize professionalism, but it faces challenges with its visual logo element. The current logo of Regian Music does not yet represent the band's vision and mission. In the old logo, there is inconsistency in the use of elements, typography, and colors. There is also a "Canva" watermark in the center of the logo, which detracts from its professionalism in a visual context. Therefore, a logo redesign is necessary to better reflect the characteristics of the Regian Music band. The logo redesign process follows the Brand Identity design method (Alina Wheeler, 2013). The new logo is created with a music theme and minimalist design style, using a combination of red, black, and white colors, as well as incorporating Japanese element concepts.
