Band Name Font

For my band name, I am using the font 'ISOCT', so the name of my band will appear as below:

 
 
I came to the decision of using this font after writing the name of my band in a lot of different fonts on Photoshop. I then asked a lot of my friends which they preferred, using a method of elimination. Below is a picture of the different fonts that I trailed, and the one in blue is the font I have decided to use:
 
 
 I researched a few band logos, and found that a lot of bands in the indie rock genre have simply their name as their logo, as you can see below:
 
 
 
 
Just by looking at these logos, you know exactly who they are, which makes it a lot easier to market the bands to their target audiences, which is why I kept the style and font of the band name to a minimum.
 
It was then apparent that the font I used suited the genre and style of my band a lot better than the other typographies, and so 'ISOCT' will be the font used throughout my digipak and music video in order to keep continuity.
