Sub Pop is a record label founded in the '80s by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman in Seattle, Washington. It was the first record label to sign Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mudhoney. Many and most bands on the music scene from the late eighties to early nineties on the Seattle music scene. They're well known to be one of the fair few to popularize the grunge genre; they still grasp onto critical and commercial success: modern bands including Fleet Foxes, Foals, Flight of the Conchords, and The Shins. 49% stake of the label now belong to the Warner Music Group (one of the big six production companies). The label are famed for their blunt letters to aspiring artists who they decline signing to their label: notes open with "Dear Loser".

This record label earns millions annually: not exactly your average indie punk record label, but still the company keeps up this image.
With this in mind, I decided to make my record label a parody of Sup Pop records. The simple black and white logo is also pleasing to the eyes, and I shall try to incorporate this into my final logo for the website.
