Music is the Key - Last Day!
Hey guys, I've been wanting to try something a little different and have come to the point where I could really use some opinions.

The tentative title is "Music is the Key to Life", and I was wondering which (if any) works best, do you think?


Is it at least fairly obvious that it's both a guitar and a skeleton key? Also, what do you think of this as a single silver foil?

I love the one on the right 3x more than the one on the left.

love this
and I'm going to disagree with the gentleman (my brother) above and say the one on the left is indeed better, because it looks like a key.

Agree with Nathan, the one on the left better conveys key. Maybe drop, "music is" from the title? It's obvious your talking about music?

Actually, key is obvious as well. Maybe a title with entry, admission, or something that doesn't repeat (show and tell) what the viewer's looking at.

Access to life. Entrez la vie (enter life, I think). Or something like that?

I always loved this quote. "Without music, life would be a mistake."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Inspiring, yes?

Anyway, clever idea, keep going ;)

So I wasn't really happy with either of the original versions, so now that the holidays have calmed down I took some time to revisit this idea and think I've come up with something that works a lot better, by keeping the more classic victorian skeleton key look, but making it more obviously a guitar. What say you?

yeah, that's a great combo of the original two - it has the beauty of the one on the right but the clarity of the one on the left.
liking this very much, but sadly I have no additioanl title suggestions for you.

Dang, I really liked the original one on the left. It looked the most like a guitar and a key. The other two, I'm not sure I would get that they are even related to music.

I'm a fan of the 3rd, acoustic key.
