Another Logo with the Ribbon Effect

[Joe Diaz]

We started with a hand painted script, then I gave it the old ribbon effect. I've recorded the whole process, When I'm done with the project I'll have to post it up on Youtube.

Too Kewl. Looks like a lot of work.

Very nice.

Excellent Joe, I would love to see how you do that effect! Really cool...

 

[HaroldDesign]

You are equally inspiring and sickening.

 

[SignManiac]

Looks classy!

Here is the sign concept. We'll probably end up changing the top part if we end up doing a hanging sign at all. Our downtown sign code won't allow for hanging projecting signs over a certain size, however we have applied for a variance in the past.

Looks even better..............

Love it! (Some of the highlights seem quirky, but it's really hard to argue that when it reads so well on the sign layout.)

...and I really love the script!

After stepping away from it for awhile and coming back to it, I think I see what you mean. Is this better:

That's sometimes the trouble with doing scripts. The one color version is a little clearer though. Regardless I think it will do the job. I can read the thumbnail.

Joe it looks great, only thing I want to point out is the curves on the "e". Might be on purpose, but might not and figured I'd show you in case you wanna touch it up. Here...

It looks intentional. On the coloured version, it is where the ribbon flips?

Smooth strokes. Nice job!

Yeah it was intentional. Ideally I would have loved to have the tail of the "u" flow into the "e" better. However, what I ended up doing was use the same "u" and "e" shapes that appear earlier in the script to keep things consistent.

What also happened was my dad hand lettered a series of different scripts that I used as a reference for this layout. We then picked our favorite, but stole a few elements from other scripts he did that didn't make the cut. The last "e" was different, but I wanted it to match the other "e".

that is one nice looking sign. love the ribbon and how you used the shape of the sign with the logo. so many people shove a design onto a background shape with not a whole lot of thought behind it. the ribbon font is cool but the logo/sign shape combo is outstanding and it looks like that shape of sign was designed for that logo and has just been waiting all these years for someone like you to come along and design it.
