Mings Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Wordmarks are my biggest problem (obviously). I have a hard time trying to come up with one that fits the logo, and one that is unique and isn't overused. And I know that sometimes, a bad font choice can really detract from the overall quality of the logo, it's just the most trying part of the process for me. I'll give the custom font thing a try, (ever done it). Do I just draw letters, or use a pre-existing font as a template? I guess I'm asking, do you know of a good way to start? you can really go either way, even just modifying letters can do wonders. thats what i did on my big horns logos. the font was sf big whiskey and i altered it to look the way it does. on some upcoming ones i drew them out on paper and them scanned them and cleaned them up in illustrator.

Evan Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 time for me to give my thoughts on this logo.I really like it, The colors are nice and the skeleton has that 50's feel with a modern exicution of it. I like the font as it is right now. I actually prefer the first one for some reason but the one that is showcased as the most recent concept isnt bad at all.

creativelysain Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 shameless bump......although I am working on the custom font for this, so this post did have some credibility. Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 i'm with kcscout on the flags, and i think they might fit EVEN BETTER now that you have the skeleton at the helm of the ship - i love the way the wordmark gives the feel of a wave, although i agree there is still some work to do there - this logo is improving tremendously...can't wait to see the finished project!

yankeeman Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I definitely like the 2nd wordmark better than the 1st, but like joshuamings mentioned, they both give off a 50's horror movie vibe. I can't even draw stick figures, so I probably should just shut up. But overall, I dig the pirate very very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creativelysain Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 I finally had some time to update this. I tried to do a custom wordmark, kind of like a swift, sword-slash type looking letters. I also added the wave on the bottom to fill it out and balance it a little bit. Let me know what you think.

Mings Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 It's better, I definitely like the waves on the bottom, but the wordmark still looks like a horror movie font, although not as much as the others. I think its too much slashy (cant tell i just woke up lol). needs to be a lil spaced out to be more legible, also where the r and s come together the r is pretty illegible. on the skeleton i would work on the mouth, looks like hes got a plop faced grin on him. make him look mad, and you will be absolutely golden with this.

misterhabs Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Well done. I do think the font still needs a little work, but overall the concept is solid.Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
