I am working on defining my final logo and I have decided to go with the rock concept. I am not sure what direction I should go with the typeface and need some input. Is a more solid typeface better? serifs or no? script? I will end up stylizing the "o" and maybe the rest of the typeface but I need an idea of where to start.
I also would like some ideas on the best way to integrate the typeface into the logo. If a better typeface will help with it in the previous location that could work, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, what would people think if I put the rocks into more of a greyscale then the browns?
Thanks for the input!!
Have you tried less stones and placing them on top of menno, but with enough space on the right so that the peak on the "O" still works? I would suggest the top three stones.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the typefaces, I think the lowercase works better, since you want to be approachable and helpful. Personal I like the rockville, didot, the century gothic and the one right above that one. The Didot gets hard to read though because the high contrasting stroke widths.
I like the contrast that is made with the organic 'circles' of the rocks and the perfect circles of century gothic, creates a nice balance.
If you decide to stylize your own font, you could try to match the style of the rocks, just a bit, don't make them rocks, that would be too Flintstones, but a little organic edge to tie them together.
Hope this is helpful, I always feel I say one direction and everyone else says the other, sending mix signals which is just frustrating.
