Yeah I read it right way. Think it looks absolutely beautiful.

This is soooo great. Fav!

I think the ANZK look great maybe play with the spacing of the D? or slightly widen but VERY cool.

Thanks for the comments - Think I agree with your there LOGOMOTIVE, does seem a little out of sync with the others.

LOL caps locked.

Caps lock is cruise control for cool :D

This is totally legible. **Have you tried building D's vertical stroke out of N's end caps, i.e. just two triangles?

Awesome!!

@epsilon**Yeah, I've played about with various D's - but I'll give your suggestion another shot. My main concern was the legibility between the NZ, so I wanted to keep all other characters as clear as possible.

NZ is very cleverly done. It took me a moment to realize Z was missing a part :)

Nice job here!

yeap, very good!

I'm with Logomotive on this one. D slightly tight. Nice all de same.

Cheers guys - The fault with the D becoming painfully obvious to*me now I've stepped away from it for a while. Will be fixing that guy in the morning!

i think it looks very elegant :)

Love this, very smart

Opened up the D a little, prefer it now.

love it, good work %26 yep it's legible

Really surprised this didn't make the gallery...not every day you something unique and well-crafted like this.

Cheers guys.**I was a little disappointed it didn't make it either - put a lot of work into this one.**You win some you lose some I guess :(

Hello chopeh! Great and nice typo!

It felt like years! :(**Thanks for adding it though, made my day :D**@vasvari - Thanks!

%5EWell done.

I don't think legibility is an issue here, I read it straight away. Congrats on the gallery spot!

wow, nice concept..

This revised version is perfect. Perfectly legible.

congratulations chopeh! **I love this logo

Super! I can read it perfectly. Great solution, and well deserved gallery spot.

%5E%5E Thanks :D

less really is more

Great logo! Fantastically cool! %3B-)

It is beautiful, but to close to Paul Barnes' work. He did something very similar to this more than 10 years ago. the font is called %22dala floda%22 and its property of frieze magazine. This kind of game happens on some of the issues all the time.%0D*%0D*%0D*http://moderntypography.com/Typedesign/DalaFloda/PageOne.html

@dust**You're right, it is very similar!**I can honestly admit I've never seen Paul Barnes work before. It's a little disappointing actually. I spent a long time working on the this logotype, with many pages filled in my sketchbook with different variants on it.**I'm making a blog post on the process it took me to design this from start to finish, so you can see how I arrived with this design.**I guess you're right, this kind of thing does come up time to time. It's just really disheartening when you've created something you're really proud of... just some guy did it before you.**:(***

I'd think we'd all know by now that nothing's new or original in this line of work. As long as you're not intentionally ripping someone off, you're fine. Don't let this distantly-similar work bring you down. The logo rocks.

Oh yes, don't get me wrong chopeh, i really like the logo, but the similarities are evident and some people will find it too close for their taste. If you read Frieze it feels recognizable straightaway. Anyway, it's true that pretty much everything has been invented, and you might get that font as a good reference to make your letters a bit different in your logo to make it even more your own... Anyway you should know that this font is only used for the headers on the magazine and its communication, so it is still pretty unknown...

This is excellent.

Yes I've seen this font style used many times over the years but it's no different to using a stencil font for example. You've made it your own by removing the crossbar of the A and linking the N and Z.

@Climax - Yeah, I understand your point - If both uses of the similar typefaces were logos I'd be more worried.**@positraction - I wish everyone could see it from that same perspective. :)**@dust - Yeah, I get that. Thanks for bringing to my attention though. I find it pretty fascinating now actually%3B 2 different people can create something pretty similar without one seeing the others work... **@firebrand - I've seen something around these lines now I've looked into it a bit more. Semi-glad I didn't look into it before otherwise it could have effected the outcome of this logo. Not sure for better or worse though.**@rudy %26 thisGuy - Thanks :D****

This mark is such a sleeper - and I mean that in the best possible way - At first I kinda glazed over it, but when you take a closer look, it's pretty incredible. **I also love that the letter 'Z' is practically non-existent in physical form, yet it is still 100%25 legible.

haha I like this! It's pushing the envelope and still very readable.

Yes, it is fully legible at first sight, also meets my understanding of an individual magazine publishing culture, design and food. A solid and well done Concept, maybe not able to get a hold on cold, high key colors (i'm thinking of an alwys changing Magazine Layout), but that's just a short thought.

@koodoz %26 mattaebersold - Thanks for the kind words :)**@Zephon - Thanks, luckily the site is changing more to a blog style so the logo will likely remain on a consistent colour. But I agree, it could be less effective on high key colours.

Cool, really fine logo!

@designoman - Thanks!**I've posted a a blog post on the process of designing this logo over at my site %22here%22:http://www.chopeh.com/blog/logo-design-start-to-finish**

Really good job on this one Pete! And great post on your blog as well. One suggestion though, I would pull the %22A%22 up into the ascender line slightly to correct the %22A%22 seeming to be a little smaller than the rest.

Despite being a good job reminds me of Shaolin style - %22http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/testpilot/shaolin-style/%22

@Art Machine - Thanks, and good point. However I've banned myself from poking about with it for the moment. I might notch it up a lil' when their website goes live. :)**@antyclymax - I can see where you draw the similarities there.

very very cool.

I absolutely love it! Very cleverly made. The pointiness of the characters compensates for the missing lines that should be there and allows the user's eyes to follow in a consistent way. Very clever! Well done!

@Alanna %26 Amafi Designs - Thanks! :D

smartly done :D

I like the in-depth breakdown of your logo-process http://www.chopeh.com/blog/logo-design-start-to-finish/ It helped me appreciate the logo more. Well done dude. I actually prefer it black on white background, but the black/grey colours of the under-construction danish blog look slick.

@konvival - Thanks :)**@plantingseeds - Cheers for stopping by and taking a read, glad you enjoyed reading about the process. It's more than likely that on the final website the logo will be on a white background.

Now that's beautiful craftsmanship. Well done my friend.

Span!.... http://www.nzso.co.nz/home

oops, I meant snap!

This %5E looks like a recent rebrand. Here's how their logo looked in 2008 - %3E%3E %22clicky click%22:http://web.archive.org/web/20100716000159/http://www.nzso.co.nz/Site/Files/c/65acbb0aac805a2ba9c2e4c148c348b/af7107bcafabfdd4b75b8eaa79f30f5a/NZSOlogo.gif %3C%3C

Really fine logo !

I really love the logo, how can I contact you? I need a quite similar logo.
