Sean, I like the concept a lot. Something just bugs me about the N, seems it could be like skewed more somehow to look more like an N. I know it's %22abstract%22 but wonder if it could be improved? I did a North logo also http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/117457 seems there's a way to make the steps end at points?

OOPS, sorry, guess I critiqued. Nevermind.

Sean Heisler Sep. 07 '11

Thanks, Mike. You can critique my work anytime. I hear you about the N, I toiled over that myself hoping that it was communicating an N letterform. It is abstract. It's possible that the steps could end at a point but I would have to play with it and your North River mark, which I have always loved, inspires me to try something. If anything, after being inspired by your mark I could foresee taking the upper right and lower left points of the black square and pull them out to make it look more like a %22pointy%22 N. What I do like about this current solution is the simplicity of the execution, it's just simply a black square with the repeated negative shapes/stairs knocked out of the square. Anyhow, I'm intrigued, I appreciate the feedback. Thanks again!

Sorry, I know this is already in the gallery but just a subtle tweak here I'm experimenting with. Going from Mike's suggestion and some experimentation I believe this tweak alone actually improves this and retains the simplicity! I think you get a better inference of an N now and from a dimensional standpoint it now appears as if the black area to the right of the stairs is a defined %22wall%22 and what would be the plane of the floor of the upper level and then the space below the stairs looks like a wall below the stairs and then what would be definition of the plane of the lower level.

Man, this thing is giving me googly-eyes! I love how perception shifts the longer you look at it. Congrats on the well-deserved gallery spot, Sean!

Sean Heisler Sep. 09 '11

Thanks, guys! I have to give props to Mike for his help here, whether he likes this move I made or not(?), his suggestion made the perspective and sense of depth really pop and I think there is a better inference of an N now too.
