yeah, this is really nice. I'm not sure i dig the notches in the Rs, and I feel like the points on the A and N need to extend into actual points to mimic the mountain (check neutraface titling). The sky could maybe be a touch less saturated? All that being said, this is a killer mark
Very nice aesthetically, but I am not sure I get the concept. Maybe monograms and mountains are so done to death that I am just not picking up on the obvious. I would be curious to know what the brief dictated. Lovely work anyhow!
Luma, it looks to me like he's playing off Mount Rainier (Alaska, right?). R for Rainier Mountain. It's one of those logos whose value is based more on awesome form and less on brilliant concept, which is perfectly acceptable and, in this case, yields a great result.
And I disagree with the comment that the sky should be less saturated. I actually think the sky should be darker. Same saturation although diff color as the mountain. To me this makes it stronger because you clearly see the R first and then the hidden mountain.
@logoboom, same thinking as far as wanting to see the 'R' first, and you're probably right about keeping the saturation and just going darker instead of less saturated and darker. Have you seen the skies up there? Such a rich, beautiful blue. Someday i'll have my own shop in the mountains somewhere! ....sigh....now back to the 100 degree weather here in austin..
Well I can't see Ranier from here but I am looking out my office window at Mt. Evans (a 14er along the front range just to the west of Denver). Blue sky, puffy white clouds, snow capped peak and NO HUMIDITY!!!!
logoboom, where do you work? you can email me if you want at nathantrafford at gmail . I only ask because I will be moving out to denver soon and am trying to figure out what good parts of town are. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I don't think you should mess with it. I know we love our darkening blue skies, but that is a sign of air pollution. The skies are supposed to be medium to light blue.
