like the name moss. >>Not a copycat .. just an idea that occurs to several other people yes, looks a bit generic.
and using a classical face like Trajan (or something very close) for the main "moss" might be interesting (Hypnos, near Infantry road also had a classical Trajan-ish face, if i remember correctly), but in my humble opinion, that type choice here is disturbed by that brush swish. okay, if you are very keen on having that brush stroke, then it has to be more detailed out. it might be better to have the red element just a plain circle and not have that also in brush stroke style. and those yellow diagonal lines are just too illustrative. also, it might be better to have something more tighter and compact for the "cocktail lounge" font. as of now, (from what i can make out in that low res img) it looks like Avant Garde. Now Avant Garde has very wide, open forms which doesn' sync well with something like Trajan which also has wide forms. though the decision to use a sans-serif for the lower text is good though. just my two bit cheers abhishek On 8/25/08, Suresh Ramasubramanian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cocktail olives and lounge bars are so damn interlinked it could be > anywhere.. > > http://www.pacific-regency.com/images/logo_olive.gif > http://www.hiltonmadison.com/Olive/images/hotel_logo.jpg > > Not a copycat .. just an idea that occurs to several other people > > srs > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf >> Of Madhu Menon >> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 9:37 AM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [silk] Logo help >> >> Hi folks. >> >> I'm getting the logo for my lounge designed at the moment.
