    Since I love doing custom typography, I really wanted to design my own type. I spent a long time drawing, but nothing I did really fit. Then I decided to look for type that fit, and I found Fertigo Pro which I think fits quite nicely.

    Your thoughts?

    Font: Looking good - I think the font works with the mark - especially the serifs and the 'g' descender.

    Layout: I think the icon can get smaller and interact with your name more. Maybe it could be overlapping letters somewhere like a stamp? And maybe you weren't asking about the layout :/

    Any thoughts are good, thanks Ryan! (Also, good to have another friend of mine on Dribbble.) :)

    As for the layout, I didn't necessarily want to use the full logotype all the time, only when absolutely necessary; the majority of the time, the icon would be the only image used.

    Adding the interaction you're talking about might be confusing when people see the mark on it's own.

    I think the mark is awesome. One of the better marks I've seen in a long time. Although, I would have no idea what it was without first having seen it with your name or on your site, etc. That's probably not a big deal since you're not Batman ;)

    In this particular shot the mark is so much bigger then the text that I don't think they play well together. So that's just my thoughts

    Wow, thanks for the comment Trevor.

    In the future, I would love for it to be a symbol just as identifiable as Batman's icon, much like Matthew Smith's Squaredeye brand. For the time being, I'll have to use it with my name just to get the get the association down.

    As for the size, I think you and Ryan C. might have a point. I'll be playing around with it, and keep the rebounds coming.

    I know this was a long time ago but I just wanted to say that what you're referring to about establishing your mark with your name is totally how all the big names have done it. You're right on with that thinking, IMO
