La Taquiza
by Borinagge
In Mexico, Taquiza is like a party where you can taste lots of different recipes served in Tacos, basically this is the concept they have in mind, I'm still working on this version...

the type immediately makes me think south of the border ( being in the US ) blocking out the a gives that font a distinct Mayan feel.

@ ClimaxDesigns: should I try to make some arrangements to the font?

@ Oronoz: Yo tambien soy de Mexico jeje, sabes el problema radica en que en estos momentos estoy como que atorado en el concepto, crees que un manejo distinto de color ayude?

Thanks

Paisanooo :D si creo que el color de la tipo esta muy magenta. Tal ves intentando con otra gama de rojos. Por otro lado siento ke la tipografia esta muy autoctona no crees?

Pues yo utilizaria la anhedonia que siento que va mas con la ilustracion. O la BluePlateSpecialSW para algo mas autoctono pero con algunas modificaciones de la tipo. Esa es mi opinion, espero te pueda servir de algo...:P

Hey if you guys don't mind lets l keep the conversation in English so everyone can take part. I think the fonts fine, its not your typical Mexican font and to me thats ok because then the logo would just be typical...

You rigth climax!!! I think the font its so native, feel like mayan o aztec ruins. I commented a borinagge, that I would use a typography more similar style of illustration...

If your audience is in the U.S., I think the type is great. Don't change a thing.

If you are marketing in Mexico or somewhere else, I really have no idea what to recommend. It's a cultural puzzle that my perspective doesn't allow me to even try to solve.

I liked the mark when I saw the thumbnail, but now that I see the full-sized version the smiley face throws me off. All I can think is... SpongeBob RoundPants. I feel bad saying that, because I really like the logo overall. Having no idea what taquiza meant, I could tell what the business was, and I think the approach and style is fresh and attractive.

Borinagge, the type its great! If "Taquiza" is in U.S it is a good typography referring to México. If this located in México is a nice and modern mexican type.

Tacos!

pd. I'm mexian too
