I really like the direction you are going. I also like the larger of the two brushes in image #109, but like the overall look of #107 best. If there is a way you could incorporate the larger brush into #107, I would like to see it. I also would like to see the "P" and "C" capitalized if possible, just to see how that would work. Thanks!
I'm really impressed. I like the style of brush that you have used as it goes perfectly with our "craftsman" concept. Thus far #117 is my favorite, although I really like the direction you are going with #119 with the brush overhead as it almost looks like it has painted the outline of the text. I am not sure I like how the outline kind of cuts off the brush image...maybe you can play around with that?? Also, is there a way the two dots over the "i" could be lowered a bit? That has been a complaint of mine with caslon antique font. I also am impressed with your concept in #120, I think it is a great idea, but we were hoping the logo would be more wide than tall...maybe there can be a version were the brush is on the side of the text or parallel to the text whether on the bottom or top? Color wise, I do like the maroon, you may be a bit on the dark end of that spectrum, we won't want the font to look black as it will be on completely white backgrounds. Thanks!
Nice to hear that from you Sir. Also thank you for your direction on #117, #119, and #120, i will try the idea. Meanwhile, i will submit some color revision. The first one witn entry #165 is maroon (RGB #800000/ CMYK 29 100 100 38 / PANTONE 181 PC).
We like these color revisions, particularly 166 and 167. Also, we think the dots should be lowered more. Perhaps just below the bottom of the "the" in that layout.
Another possibility we might like to see is the lines that make up the box around 166/167 to be more "rustic" or "choppy" looking. Just to make them look a little more natural / old fashioned.
Thanks. I know this is being extremely nit-picky, but could you raise the dots on the "i"'s just a bit, a feel like right in between where they were and where they are right now would be perfect. Also, like the choppy look, but that might be a bit too much as well. We like the idea of that border looking hand-brushed, not necessarily distressed. Nice work!
#191, #192, #193 - update with revision on detail; reposition the dots slightly between #167 and #187.
Revision on border: #191 - reduce some effect from #187. #192 - sharp edge on corner rather than rounded from #167. #193 - reducing the distortion on #188.
