been working on a logo for myself over the past few weeks due to seeing my CT monogram popping up in what seems to be everywhere nowadays. i've seen blatant rips all the way to subtle similarities. so, instead of making a huge fuss about it, i've decided to create a steal proof hand lettered logotype for myself. perhaps this is a new chapter in my life and for my design career...we shall see.
side notes:
yes i will still be using my monogram
yes there is a 'C' within the crossbar of the 'T'
yes i went with the classic mechanical pencil overtop sketch shot...sue me
thanks for all the comments! @forsuregraphic i actually used several different brush pens with this one. my whole office is covered with 'tierney' sketches. once i find one that i like, i trace over it, scan it in (or take a picture with my iphone), call upon @Claire Coullon for some advice and use the old fashioned pen tool.
Nice solution for the 'C/T', and great flow overall. Have you tried a version with the 'C' extending below the baseline? Thinking that might do well to balance out the loop on your 'y'...
thanks again for the feedback all. @Joonbug seriously? not seeing an 'h' or an 'o' anywhere. @Michael Spitz thanks man, that's a good suggestion and perhaps a nice solution to balancing the overall look, but this is pretty much good to go now.
Great lookin Colin! i'd give @Michael Spitz suggestion a try nonetheless :); who know maybe you will fall for it.
You did a great job rebranding yourself mate, Cheers!

Nice start. You don't use a tablet for making typopography ? Prefer hand writing on paper?

^Like Sean said, that 'y' overhead swash connecting the 'i' dot is bloody brilliant mate.
