i'd say the 't' and 'e' need to chill.

Toro y Moi has a similar logo (there's a cover at the beggining of this thread) and IMO did it better

Bookman Swash is one of my favorite fonts, but agree that the "t" and "e" sort of fuck this up.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 8 September 2011 14:54 (twelve years ago) link

The t and the e look like gossiping sperm.

 (gr8080), Thursday, 8 September 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link

Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 8 September 2011 21:27 (twelve years ago) link

Saw him (Nick Lowe) on early-morning TV yesterday, and while he was quite charming that cover (held up for viewers) did seem especially misleading.

It's Plaid - Scintilli

Number None, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 17:21 (twelve years ago) link

I feel like I would like that Plaid better without the drop shadow

rockapads, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 20:48 (twelve years ago) link

i wonder why the C, N and L are all thicker than the other characters. and this the S is a bit of a cop-out. could've just used a 5x5 font and not needed the non-standard slots in the S

WiReD mag has been using something similar for section headings for a while now, not as good as the above though.

this one's a little wack but i do think it represents the apex in early 90s REBOOT cgi-fetishism

fennel cartwright, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
