Very nice :) The color is lovely too.

L is pretty strange here

davishama said on Jul. 21 '10

I like the mark and i like the colours :)

@ ru_ferret: I kind of agree, maybe if it was flipped (so that it curved toward the left and not the right) that could help?

Congrats Claire, great type.

clairec said on Jul. 22 '10

Thanks all for the comments!

Actually the lowercase 'l' isn't strange at all, it's standard calligraphic practice to curl the top forward to the right. Curving round to the left would disrupt the type and then the balance of the piece. I didn't think anybody could have a hard time with legibility as far as calligraphy was concerned.

Love those lines.

@ Clairec: It is not illegible at all, I actually love the logo. Clearly, I have not been education on basic practices of calligraphy :P Leave it as is!

This is a beauty! Loving it.

Mads & Jippy: thanks a lot!

Vintage_chic: Yep, the idea was to give a sense of elegance by adding a touch of calligraphic-inspired style. Glad you like it!

Thanks Milou! (must have been posting at the same time as you) You've got a stunning showcase.

Haha thanks a lot Rudy!

I think it's cool as is..

but I do see what people are saying about the L as well.. I think if it were to curve the other way it'd look like it was continuing the fluidity of the A, which could be very nice.

either way awesome job and a wonderful addition to the gallery.

clairec said on Jul. 25 '10

Thanks very much Dan! Interesting point for the 'l' - I had briefly tried it the other way, but it looked as if it was tipping backwards and the '-or' was lonely!
Really like your portfolio website by the way.

dannygdammit said on Jul. 26 '10

ohh, yeah i could see it isolating the "or" :/

and thank you :)
