Rocognise this funky letterstyle?

[signbrad]

It was designed by the dentist.





I think the

crossbar of the 'A' needs braces.

Thank you, Signosaurus.
You nailed it.

If you are ever at a Walldogs meet I will buy you an ice cream cone. Or a beer, if you prefer.

It was designed by the dentist.

Actually the font was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Thank you, Fred.
I've been in signs 40 years and did not know Wright designed lettering. His art deco letter styles seem to have been designed in conjunction with specific projects.

Our dentist client told us he designed his own "logo." Apparently he just chose a letterstyle he liked and then topped it with some clipart he found. Now I'm wondering if the image above the lettering is also a Wright design. It looks like it could be. Maybe the dentist always wanted to be an architect.

At any rate, I have been to the library and have started a bio of Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright—A Life, by A L Huxtable). The record of his personal life seems to be as interesting as his innovative architecture.

What does the logo mean?

Immediately thought of FLW when I saw the logo. Didn't know he designed the font though - thanks Fred.

As for the logo, it's is heavily influenced by Frank.
Another designer in the shop and I were image searching his stained glass work just last week. We were looking for inspiration for an etched vinyl application for a bank of conference room glass.

Good stuff.

It's good stuff.

Just a guess but I think it is schematic for a torture device a dentist would insert into the mouth of a patient to make their wallet thinner.

I will collect on that offer one of these days!
I had hopes of making it to at least one of the Walldog meets this year ...not gonna happen. Maybe next year. New house and shop construction plans take priority.
