Absinthesis
Absinthesis is a 2-person band utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to play improvisational music in a live setting. The band's musical style is based on many genres such as rock, electronica, drum & bass, dub, and jazz, and their live compositions have been described as "cinematic."
Concert attendees are generally those that go to other live electronica-based concerts (aka livetronica or jamtronica - http://bit.ly/vyQJoP), such as STS9, Disco Biscuits, EOTO, Brothers Past, etc. We are looking for a logo that would fit inline with this genre and its founders.
Here is our old band name logo in front of a "circuit tree" background. The "Jan/Yang" logo was done by a color-blind amateur (me), but we do like the styling and feel - if only it were... better.

The one thing we don't like about this logo is that it is hard to read from a distance or if printed very small.
Also, we do like the Art Nouveau look found in antique absinthe bottles, spoons, etc. Playing with the traditional absinthe culture in a modern way could be very cool.
Please use your imagination to come up with whatever your artistic vision might be. Originality goes a long way.
