J Dilla Foundation Logo Concepts

The newly relaunched J Dilla Foundation, a non-profit group formed to help fund inner-city programs and provide scholarships to students attending progressive music schools in memory of the late hip-hop producer J Dilla, held a logo contest. My friend Mykola Dosenko convinced me to enter. He sent me a concept that he came up with which I finalized. (top right). I also created a concept of my own. (top left). Below are some variations which I held back due to contest restrictions. But I'm happy with all of them.
