I thought since the letter "M" appears 3 times in the name Mixing Mastermind, it might be interesting to incorporate it into the logo as branding but this is not essential and I'm open to other ideas. 
colours to play around with include black, white, grey, gold, purple
I need an actual logo and not just a nice typeface!
try and incorporate the idea that this is an academy for learning
I prefer to see the logo on the left and the text on the right.
