The font thing is hard. How to choose? I guess I'm looking for something with more of a flourish. I'd like to see something similar to Zapfino, without it actually being zapfino.
Also, I like the gold "Matthews" in Zapfino (#16), I think maybe b/c I like Zapfino. I also like the all-grey samples, like in #26 and #27.
Also, re: the tree ... I really like it, esp the blowout effect, but I am wondering if the tree should stand straighter.
This series of logos is thrilling. Beautiful work -- thank you for your time!
I'm doing some research on fonts and will be back soon.
I think that the grey "Matthews" are easier to read and it makes the tree stands out even more, tell me what you think? I can make you all next entries with the "Matthews" in both, gold and grey.
About the tree, I can try to make it straighter, my idea behind the "old tree" looking one was old = experience :)
