She created a very specific log for my music books. I just got a final proof back of my sonata for cello and piano, and it looks absolutely awesome. The photos don't do it justice.
This is the outside of the piano score and the solo cello part (each musician gets their own copy of the music, the pianist gets a copy with all the music, while the cellist gets a copy with only his/her part in it). The photo shows the beautiful colour and the black and white version that Melissa made.

The "history" behind the logo (and name) is based on the village from which I come. It was a small farming community (until it eventually became simply a suburb of a much larger city), and the farmers wore sheepskin vests to protect themselves from the sun while they worked hunched over in the fields. Thus the name for a person from there was "un dos blanc" (a whiteback). The logo incorporates the farmer with his white vest, and the symbols of that harvest.
At this time, my music is distributed throughout Canada via the Canadian Music Centre (of which I am a member). So hopefully, people from the Maritimes all the way to Vancouver will be seeing Melissa's artwork if they borrow or purchase my music books. (sadly, I make VERY very little money from any sales.. classical music isn't the most remunerative business in the world)
