L is pretty strange here

I like the mark and i like the colours :)

Congrats Claire, great type.

clairec Jul. 22 '10

Thanks all for the comments!**Actually the lowercase 'l' isn't strange at all, it's standard calligraphic practice to curl the top forward to the right. Curving round to the left would disrupt the type and then the balance of the piece. I didn't think anybody could have a hard time with legibility as far as calligraphy was concerned.

Mads %26 Jippy: thanks a lot! **Vintage_chic: Yep, the idea was to give a sense of elegance by adding a touch of calligraphic-inspired style. Glad you like it!

I think it's cool as is.. **but I do see what people are saying about the L as well.. I think if it were to curve the other way it'd look like it was continuing the fluidity of the A, which could be very nice.**either way awesome job and a wonderful addition to the gallery.

Thanks very much Dan! Interesting point for the 'l' - I had briefly tried it the other way, but it looked as if it was tipping backwards and the '-or' was lonely!*Really like your portfolio website by the way.
