I like the image, but the font doesn't work for me, is there a reason you've chosen a serif font?

Narate · 03-06-2005, 07:55

font isnt set on but every sans Ive sent them so far they rejected and there was noway I was going down the Century Gothic road.

anyone care to suggest a font, Ive had enough of this job now.

I liked the previous one more, too.
Too bad they rejected it.

This one is nice too, but it does not
suggest the idea of the road as the
one before did.

Don't know anything about fonts,
have you asked Mik yet?

gray · 03-06-2005, 08:16

trade gothic bold?

haha yeh, the first person.

Il give it ago. Ive tried the one I used for a brochure they liked and added a splash of colours just for the sakes of it.

cam · 03-06-2005, 08:22

that 'y' just looks wrong, like the mark though

paddy3110 · 03-06-2005, 09:58

gray · 03-06-2005, 10:13

Not keen, cheers though

How bout Helvetica Neue LT STD 37 Thin Condensed.

Still like that font!

pgo · 04-06-2005, 22:38

Comic Sans?

I like the second one a lot more. I'm nowhere near knowing what I'm talking about when it comes to typography, but my opinion is that (and this is looking at example #2) the letters are too ... heavy ... The blue swoosh-things look light and active/moving, but the text is heavy and static. Perhaps a "lighter" font? Now, I'm not suggesting anything italicized of course, that'd be ugly - but something lighter would be the ticket I think.

Mr Fred · 05-06-2005, 04:14

how about redusing the squiggle a tad and moving it left.
i would be tempted to go for something radically different for the type.

ie h*tp://www.falconcycles.co.uk/

find a font like radio, eclat, or this

niceone, Il have a try. I tried a few but anything that looked moderatley hand generated was just poor.

Narate · 05-06-2005, 05:52
