ClimaxDesigns said:i'd thicken up the weight of the f a hair, but I agree with alto, and from what i was saying in the forums, just that simple change gives this more uniqueness and connects it to the mark a bit more.

reddskinn said:looks good. Maybe the treatment for the letter f is not necessary. is like if it were compiting in someway with the symbol.

nido said:i also agree.. that F is too much.. its also unnecessary... they now look like two different concepts clashing with each other.. the mark is beautiful... i think you need something that compliments it for the type... something bolder... maybe not a serif.. as i said before the mark is very 'hebrew' looking.. & though this type 'scripture' like.. its way too thin

ryantoyota said:I thickened the F a tad and pulled back the angle to make it feel less foreign.

ryantoyota said:By the way, thanks for all the comments. I'm torn between the customized F and regular F. My reasoning for the customized F is that I want the type to be unique and recognizable when standing on its own. (I'm thinking it won't always be right under the mark.) I hear the comments about it making the logo too busy though. It's a tough choice.

koodoz said:Definitely a tough choice.
The 'f' looks great, but it almost suggests that the 'f' means something, because it has been singled out.
Overall, I like it as it is for it's uniqueness, so I'd probably stick with it.

ryantoyota said:I picked the F to single out because I liked how it read. I felt that it made the word "infusion" feel more powerful by emphasizing the second syllable. As far as symbolism, its not necessarily intended to mean anything, but I personally see it as a life-breath or spirit-wind type of line. At least that's the feeling I was going for with the style of it. I know no-one will pick up on that specific meaning, but I was hoping it would evoke that feeling.

admarcbart said:Ryan I love the S icon but I think the F is competing too much with it. It is like the eye is fighting over which to look at first.

alto said:Ryan, either way, you have done an amazing job! While the others have a point, I still like the "F" the way it is. It softens the type and compliments the tip of the flame in the logomark. While it does compete, I do not think it is too distracting nor does it take away from the mark.

puffmoike said:A vote for the previous version.
The stylised f competes with the mark for visual dominance, to the extent that most people's eye will be drawn to it before they really take in the mark.
I suspect the average punter will then (rightly) assume that the f doesn't mean anything. And at that point they'll be appreciably less likely to notice the extremely clever combination of forms you have created with the mark.

vld said:Great idea with S. Really nice concept.
"F" is too much, no doubt.

OcularInk said:I say lose the 'f' and you've got yourself one killer logo. Nice work, Ryan!

ryantoyota said:Thanks all. It's helpful to read your pro and con 'f' comments. Still not completely sure what I'm going to do about that. It'll make a solid decision once I get more direction for what type of promotional materials we're going to be printing.

firebrand said:Glad to see this has made the front page, Ryan. One more vote against the 'f' it helps tip the balance.

euphospug said:hi there - nice mark. maybe if you wanted to make the text stand alone, you could try a suble flame above the "i" in infusion - tying it into the logo and making it stand laone type.

theuprock said:Disregard! The f is great, but could use some minor tweaks to the weight of it in comparison to the rest of the type. It's not 100% done IMO, but it still looks quite nice. My only critique is the top left corner of the S. I'm not big on that, as it looks like a really hard edge compared to the rest of that area in the mark.
