  ## Logo and name meaning
  
  The logo for Felt, Not Heard was designed by creative agency, DIA. According to them,
  
     The graphic system is based on four lines which references a bass instrument's four strings. We chose an extremely reductive design to visually represent subtly of Felt, Not Heard.
  
  Alluding to the explanation, the name of the company is a general music term about the use of the bass guitar quietly in an ensemble.
