Record Label

When considering a record label which would represent and produce my media products. I started to research well known and used record labels; having a secured record label in the real world would be a vital step in securing success of the launch of your music, ensuring commercial success. My chosen record label is ministry of sound, the record label is also known as a nightclub in London. Ministry of Sound has a network of international offices in Australia, Germany and the United States. The record label was first established in 1995, with the release of 'The Annual'. The Annual went on to sell 160,000 copies and became a global label with over 50 million dancehall albums. Ministry of sound is an independent label and continues to produce and deliver albums to this very day. In January 2006, the company purchased the record label Hed Kandi from The Guardian Media Group. The logo for Ministry Of Sound gives off a British vibe as the crown at the top represents royalty, but gives the logo a more official government effect.

The way the Logo is presented is very modern, as it is bold and shown as 3D, although the logo is seen to be very basic it is well known globally. The white capitalised text against the black background allows the text to stand out. The logo has been created in several different colour schemes, every album has the same logo but the colour scheme varies in order to create individuality. I will be using this record label to support and produce my product as this label is heavily based around house music, and therefore i feel they would be able to represent and support my product well with the right advertisement.
