    Another from the rejected logo file. Its just a little too tough. Type was customized from the Excelsis face. See the first shot for detailed view.

    Not sure about what's around, but the type work is amazing.

    @Mads, thanks for the feedback, the stuff around it was suppose to be a sunflower and just some additional ornamentation to balance it out. But in the end, we agreed that it was a little too much.

    This is for when Penn's Corner played with Iron Maiden back in '81.

    This has got major cool factor. I wish this was a candy bar and Wonka Vision was real. I'd reach through my screen and eat this.

    Beautiful work Matthew. I can't sopt looking at this. Do you make these typefaces by hand?

    @Tim, thanks! The typeface is called Excelsis, but I modified it by increasing the weight, altering the serifs, adding the breaks and circles in the "P,C,O,R,R", adding an descender to the "P", extending the one on the "R", adding the treatment to the "S" and giving them ornamentation in the letters.

    We were going for an old feed bag look but it got altered into this.
