I rarely hop into Illustrator but I was playing with some type in Photoshop and really liked the 'fl' ligature from Neutra Text so I started playing around with it by adding the custom 'y' using existing shapes/angles. I kinda like how it turned out, anyone have any suggestions/improvements/ideas?
Lame pop culture references aside, I like the idea behind this but without the -osity part one might read it as AJ as well. Also, I'd say the F could use a thicker stroke. Just how that would flow into the L, I have no clue :)
This is so sweet. I think there is something a little off with the horizontal bar in the "f". I might just need to move over to the left a few pixels. It's looking so awesome though.

@Mike This has the makings of an ambigram. Try some more and you might be mesmerised by the result.
Cool, but not logo-worthy I guess.

That's pretty fly. For a white guy.

I think it's good as-is. I read "fly" instantly. No misinterpretations here.

I think you could curve the bottom of the L to match the softness of the FL curve and make the Y not feel as harsh in comparison.

Fly Ambigram

Mike, I loved the ambigram idea, so here is a rebound. Not exactly pixel perfect, but you get the idea.
