vr4jen said:^The above comment is bothering me because I made sure that there was perfectly even spacing between each letter. I'm not sure where you are seeing the faults. This was done for one of my logo classes and the teacher never made any such comments, and he's a kerning nazi.
Unless you are referring to your dislike of the overall tracking width... which is an entirely different subject on its' own.

Visually?

Really like the mark though.

vr4jen said:Yeah, I can see now how the M and E could be too crowded. I still think "SKY" is fine. This is one of the first logos I ever made so I definitely would have made a couple tweaks, looking back. Thanks for the help, guys.

But even after 18 years, I still look back and see stuff that bother's me. It's like a typo...you don't see it until it's too late!
