Label philosophy
[edit | edit source]The name of the label and logo are inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy & the first level in Purgatorio. Depicting the souls of the proud bent over by the weight of huge stones on their backs in the face of sculptures expressing humility, the opposite virtue to pride which serves as an ethos for the label to remain humble.
The original First Terrace logo was sketched by co-founder Alex Ives and is present on only one record, Specimens - 'Sculptures' LP. Following this a refined version was used on all releases up until 2020 when the label introduced a new version of the logo which is present to this day. Consistent throughout all versions of the logo are the legs (of the proud) which symbolise holding up the weight of pride & thus a reminder to remain humble in your work.
