I like where you're going with these (#3 more than #7). Can you use this concept with some different fonts, maybe some with all capital letters? Thanks!
Yeah #17 is looking much better. Obviously, with all caps the "dot" above the "i" or "L" doesn't seem to make as much sense. Maybe try it without the "dot" or with a different type of transition?
Thank you for your updates! I actually still like #17 more than #22; The line across the entire word isn't as appealing. I would love to see a few other ideas on using the cross stroke from the first "A".
