    A work in progress that's a bit outside my comfort zone. Suggestions?

    It's looking great! I love the flourishes on the top and bottom, but I'm wondering if the visual pattern that the i's and n's is causing is hard to read. I sort of get stuck when I start looking at the middle of "Winning". Maybe it's just me. :)

    Looks great! It has a really nice 50's vibe about it.

    Great balance, Seth! My only suggestion is to simplify the ornamental extension on the g so it becomes more similar to the W.

    Thanks everyone!
    @Laura, I see what you mean, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it.
    @Simon, you're totally right. thank you!

    This is awesome. I would cut out the stray flourish, I think the one that extends from the g does it justice! Fucking solid work though!

    I agree with James and Simon about the extensions on the g/extra swirl by itself, but overall this is fantastic. I love the overall feel and the main lettering is excellent. The combination of straight/diagonal lines and curves is perfect.

    @James and @Claire, thanks so much for the feedback! Last night I thought it was too gappy, so I added the extra flourish, but with fresh eyes today I agree, it was too crowded and unbalanced at the bottom.

    Here's an updated version with reworked flourishes. I also tweaked the W some: http://cl.ly/AiYR

    Great update, those improvements look perfect. The top and bottom swashes go much better together and they enclose the lettering really nicely.

    Great work Seth! Does not look like it's outside of your comfort zone at all. Great tips from Claire as always.

    Thanks @Jacqui! Glad you don't think it looks outside my comfort zone. I'm not very experienced with script lettering or swashes, but it's something I'm studying and working on.

    And @Claire, you're always so helpful and supportive, thank you again!

    I felt like I could make this better, so I spent a good amount of time this weekend doing that. Larger version attached.

    Dude, this rocks! Love loops, did this start as a sketch? Would love to see the preliminary work leading to this direction
