What tiki said about opening the middles up a little... but in addition, the thicks are so thick continuously.... that its a little hard to read at a glance. The top thin stroke [horizontals] don't even appear.... which from a distance tends to distort the letters. Our eyes here on a sign site will identify the word quickly, but the average person relying on legibility will be at a disadvantage. They won't have a word to associate with those letters and their eye might look elsewhere for something more understood.

Something that many people don't realize is that when the majority of people read... they aren't reading words all the time but doing a sort of eye/mind association and need complete help with words out of the ordinary. I believe this fits the area of needing help.

Don't get me wrong, I like what you have and just about any other sign maker or artist will like it too, but take it out of its comfort zone and you might have trouble.

When showing this to other people.... only let them look at it for two seconds and then take the paper away.... and see how many people could really read your name.

Ah. Good stuff Gino. I guess it comes down to modifying the font then a little more then it comes.
Something like this then. More open ah?

I think I know what you are trying to do, it's got that shine to it, but it looks too "warpy" and "computery". "studiowraps is way too opened up on top.

I'm pretty sure you have been here but there are some great examples of the look you want here for inspiration.... http://www.letterheadfonts.com/gallery/

Rick, you know what.. I don't even need the website on this image. It is going to be placed somewhere else anyhow.

Scratched it up a little bit and removed the unneeded website and phrasing.

New Image. haha

Hi Josh...the problem is in your spacing..it's reading 'S' 'T' 'UDIO'...you're gonna have to play around with it to get looking right...my eye doesn't flow along it, it jerks along.

 

[Mosh]

Try making the "S" bigger and overlapping th "T" on it a bit, with a black outling to seperate it. I think it looks cool.

 

[JoshLoring]

Consensus says.. I agree. { I'm pretty easy going for a graphics guy huh? }

You have to be open minded though otherwise you will never learn. I like this environment.

Ok guys. To all that have contributed. Here's an update. Whats next? haha

 

[JoshLoring]

Progression from first post...

 

[speedmedia]

I like your work. Checked out your site, good solid creative and clean stuff.

I do like where you are going with this. I like the spacing better on that last one.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

[JoshLoring]

Thanks Kurt. You've got some nice stuff on your site as well. First time posting for suggestions and it seems to be working out well.

I'm not qualified to really make suggestions but from an amature.

Look at post #17 from Tkik.

The Largers "S" looks alot better. IMO

​

just my $0.02

 

[JoshLoring]

DO- I made the S bigger in the last post no? Shall I make it bigger?

 

[MachServTech]

death by committee. good progression, but I really like the second version the best if the "d" was modified that would be my choice layout.

I'm not seeing it.
