Great, Foggy. Would also look nice with a block serif.

@firebrand: Good thinking - I have changed the font to 'Rockwell' and it really works now. Thanks :)

fogra said:

Cheers everyone. Their previous logo had no connection to castles or to printing for that matter. This was my first layout - hope they go for it.
Oh, thanks for the gallery spot also :)

great use of a popular idea (the overlapping ink) and making it relevant to the client, interesting to look at, and very nice overall.

I love this icon - very nice. I'm working on a design with the "overlapping ink" element... Does anyone have any resources on how to make the file print-ready? Do I need to pick Pantone colors for each shown, including the overlapped color?

logomotive said:

@ roblan, You probably could do a 3 color overprint Pantone but with these colors I would highly recommend full color. You can overprint but an accurate way to do it, is use the color picker and set each specific color (area) accordingly. I have may ways of doing things, I'm sure others here have indifferent or perhaps better ways.

robalan said:

Thanks for the tip, logomotive. I'll upload the logo to my gallery -- if you could take a look, that'd be great! (sorry to post this in your thread fogra -- great work!)

gthobbs said:

I agree with you logomotive. The best way to control something like this on press would be to punch out each area as it's own shape and color pick the exact builds.

clashmore,
to be honest i find it EXTREMELY hard to design something for myself, i am very very critic wen it comes to design something for myself....
i always design a logo , i like it , but after 2-3 hours ,i find some major flaw or whatever ....
by the way , you have a great logo gallery and i really like your work

Jul. 04 '08

alexrobete said:

clashmore , i think you are right about the false advertising stuff.
any suggestions for my logo ?

Jul. 04 '08

alexrobete said:

Hi Fogra, I don't know how I stumbled here but being the owner of Castle Print & Design in the UK I just wanted to leave you a note to say, a great-looking logo, and wished I'd known of you when we put our logo together. The 'castellation' is quite clever and I'll know where to come should we ever go for a revamp. Best regards, Paul.
