@big design - Ha! That might present a bit of an issue... (Edited Title) This was my first stylized notion playing with the typography. But ultimately we might end up with something a bit simpler... Thanks a lot.
Loving the style but the D & R's are hard to make out. I first though the d&r was combined to make an H, then I saw the d as an A (like the aesics A). Diggin the direction but I think the letterforms are going to need to some tweaking for readability though. Keep up the great work bud!
@Michael Whats funny is I saw the update that you liked my message and when I looked I realized the title answered my question...little did I know you had just edited the title :P
@Jared / Jonathan - Thanks guys > still working on resolving the 'D' clearly... Wanted to keep it flowing in a similar style, but I'll obviously have to define it a bit more to avoid confusion...
Admittedly, at this point I don't always read it clearly myself... ;)
Yeah I can't read it either (after I tried real hard *without looking at the shot title, too* I got "hupals"), but it is maybe the best take on 3d/2d lettering I've seen. I heart the halftone.
As beautiful as it is, it is also completely illegible. -up- is the only part that is more-or-less unambiguous, the rest though is very tricky to read.
Heck, I find the word hard to read in Helvetica as the shot title. I'm not joking. It's a very awkward set of letters. One thing I think you've done well is breaking the flow between the u and the p. It helps it phonetically.
Now just keep tweaking until the letters are clear individually. I look forward to the next iteration.

Further exploration into the scripted logotype option...
Again > small spelling tweak, so I had to nix the PL/AR ligature pair, which I was pretty fond of...
In any case, lots more tweaking to do on this one, but at least we've got the spelling nailed down.
RE the shading style > I'll see if I can carry that through one way or another... Otherwise I'll definitely find a way to sneak it in at some point ;)

Am I just not using my brain today? What does it say? I loved the sneak peak you showed in an earlier post. Still loving it now.

I love the type! Although it reads 'Hupelr' to me.

I like the halftone shadow. It’s a bit hard to read the letterforms though

I read it as Hupalc... That sounds Slovenian a bit, so I thought it had to be that way :)

It is hard to read. Nice, though.

Man, are you really supposed to be enjoying yourself this much? I better call the police because you're having all the fun with this. You funhog!
The halftones are really coming together nicely.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys!
Think we'll just have to classify this particular version as 'pretty / unreadable'.
Still working with it for sure...we'll get there ;)

@Steve - HA! I hear that. Bit of a handful, I'll admit... But again, we'll get there eventually. Cheers buddy!
