I saw this lovely image from istockphoto.com
In my mind, I also envisaged paint spilling from within a piano and dripping off the keys. My artistic and photoshop skills aren't really up to realising it, but you get some idea from the following incompetent effort:
Any other ideas while we wait for shane to do the real mccoy?

Oh no no no! It's not paint, musicians are not well known foe spilling glasses of paint over the keyboard, lets try to be accurate, it's either brandy or beer!
And that 'stock photo' bit of text in the first nice pic would come out very easily with a bit of photoshop.
#1. Pretty, but our artist would probably have a stroke having to reproduce all those piano keys.
#2. More "PianoMurder" than "Spillharmonic" don't you think?
1. I like the spiral, very pleasing to the eye
2. I like the black, white, and red. I'm sure this idea could be simplified to make something effective!
Here's a quick little something I put together whilst trying to avoid doing any real work this afternoon, combining the red spill with Shoey's idea of a musical note and apostrophe in the thread below. Just for fun really, but have a shuffty...

That link didn't come out quite right; the end seems to get lost. It should be this...

very cool BB, I dig it, am I getting hints of bluenote in there?
Cheers, Bmac. Yeah, definite hints now I look at it again, although not deliberately. I adore their cover art, despite not being much of a jazzer,as I was saying in my book thread last week and it's a constant source of inspiration. I like very simple, bold designs with a clear motif and typeface and Blue Note's do that better than anything I've ever seen. Always different, but immediately identifiable as belonging to the label,without even having to know anything about the individual record. Much like Saville with Factory, or 23 Envelope with 4AD.
