A quick trace from paper of a logotype I'm working on. See the attached pencil version of this wordmark, which was traced from the initial sketch I made with a black bullet tip BIC Permanent Marker (Ref. 2000).
The typography clearly needs some curve adjustments in the next round. The lowercase x & e need to be lowered a bit as well as the bottom part of the lowercase e that needs some extra weight to keep the remaining white-space consistent. Furthermore there's this weird dent in the right curve of the lowercase O and the little curl of the uppercase P that also needs to be fixed. I didn't pay too much attention to the word 'design' which actually was (as Bob Ewing rightfully mentioned) just placed in there ;))
The reason I posted this early concept is because I liked the freeform rhythm & flow of this particular version. As some of you know I tend to have a knack for Bézier tweaking, so I obviously save the best bite for last ;)
This looks awesome Gert. I know you said it is an early sketch, but the word design just looks placed in there. Maybe there is a way to work it more into the shape underneath.
Hey Bob, you're perfectly right. The additional typography was just placed in there. To be honest I have yet paid much attention to it. Good suggestion, thanks.
This looks terrific, it's so eye-catching. I like how the 'P' overlaps the 'i' (love the pencil version without the 'i' dot too, although of course might be harder to read). I also really like the narrower version of the 'P' stem in the initial sketch, it looks bold & simple and very recognizable as a 'P'. Anyway, looking forward to the development!
That would be awesome. I have been looking for an ampersand for some new ink. I will be more than happy to reimburse you for your time and effort. I have been trying to sketch one out, but can't seem to get the look and feel that i want...
P.s. thanks for all your comments and faves! To be honest I didn't expect this lettering being too much popular, but I will catch up with all of you tonight! Thanks!
