First of all, I hadn't heard of Krop until today so I checked it out and it looks like a really useful link, thanks
On the other hand, the reason I chose flare over flair is tied to my original school of thought. Well here was my thought process for coming up with the name and why I think flare fits better:
What is the heart of Design?
I think the heart of design is, after sitting for a few hours with a blank notebook open staring across the street at random passerby, the
sudden burst of creativity that sparks an influx of
sketching into that same notebook.
The Random House Unabridged Dictionary states:
Quote:
|
flare: v. to start up or burst out in sudden, fierce activity, passion, etc.

So "flare" fits the sudden burst and "ink" fits the sketching and when you put the two together, you get "inkflare".
The reason why I went with the now-not-so-uncommon(thanks for the headsup) script feel to the type is because it is
- informal
- personal
- stylized
- sketching --> handwritten
- at least for me, when I have an idea, I tend to write hurridly. My "speed" writing set of choice is cursive.
However, I do understand that the nature of using just a script type will cause other logos to look similar. I am working on an accompanying, yet separate, simple, illustration/mark.
