word mark for a gift and collectables retail establishment based in phoenix, arizona. the idea behind the script was to emulate gift wrap ribbon. i used several different brush pens to get the 'look' i was going for.
I love this one. It's perfect how well the concept is directly tied to the lettering style, it really comes across beautifully. Stunning 'M' in particular, but the piece as a whole is great.
Lookin' dope, Colin. I remember really liking this when you shot me a teaser of it a little while back. Great curves, loops, and flow, and it really reinforces the gift wrap ribbon look you're going for. @Milosz Klimek is onto something with regard to those dots. Although I actually think their size looks fine; to me, it's the size/boldness of the apostrophe that's throwing me off a bit. Honestly, I'd say that if you reduce the effect of that apostrophe, and give it a similar weight as the I-dots, this thing would be pretty much ready to ship to the client.
LOVE the M, and that S is awesome, especially the endstroke.
Actually, one other critique while I'm looking at it: the final loop of the M (right below the I) looks like it might be a tad blunt, and the resulting endstroke looks a bit too straight compared to the otherwise curvy loopiness of the other letterforms. You may want to play around with extending that loop just a bit further down, allowing you the space to achieve a bit more of a naturally rounded arc. But seriously, this is such a nitpicky comment, feel free to disregard. Just something I noticed; chances are, most people wouldn't.

Agree ... that 'M' is great. I love that the 'l' in the middle is taller than the first one.
