mforsman 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Looks good, I do have one complaint as a bit of a type nerd. Why did you squish windows? I get that you were trying to justify the list but it kills me that the O is so smashed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deth502 39 Posted October 16, 2010 Looks good, I do have one complaint as a bit of a type nerd. Why did you squish windows? I get that you were trying to justify the list but it kills me that the O is so smashed. I don't see it the middle "windows" on the back. the letter are narrower in order to get the word "windows" to be as wide as the words above and below. personally, i think it looks better aligned like that. cleaner look, sleeker.

mforsman 0 Posted October 16, 2010 To each their own. I have been working on a typeface for over a year now, I'm really picky about stuff like this. I imagine someone smashing my font and watching all of the careful delicate work that was done making everything "perfect" thrown away. Everything that's part of a high quality font is there for readability and style. Squishing it makes it something entirely different. The rules are there to be broken I suppose. It's just not my style. It's like blowing up copperplate gothic and not reducing the spur serifs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devildog 0 Posted October 16, 2010 If someone hadn't mentioned the "O" I would have never noticed. I think it looks great! Nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmwyke 0 Posted October 16, 2010 we actually fought with ourselves over that when we were designing it. In our eyes we had 3 options: 1. What you see above, made the line of text the same height and length, no matter the number of letters. 2. Have the lines of text at different lengths. 3. Have them at different heights. In the end we thought this method looked best. Here's a quick throw together so maybe you can see what we saw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john! 1 Posted October 16, 2010 IMO i would have done the middle but that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neron15210 10 Posted October 16, 2010 I would use center Justification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devildog 0 Posted October 17, 2010 I would use center Justification. I think you are referring to "Justified" which spaces the letters evenly regardless of size so it all falls in the same given space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devildog 0 Posted October 17, 2010 Again, I didn't even see it when I first looked at it. I think we have a lot of members with eyes for detail so that is why it was caught. In the future, just use "justified" on your text and it will always fit the space you are working with evenly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
239 Design 5 Posted October 17, 2010 Could you have just put windows in the bottom position, and give it a step kind-of look? I don't think most people would notice anyway. Looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmwyke 0 Posted October 17, 2010 that was just the order the customer had it in. I'm sure he wouldn't have minded swapping for looks though. Either way, he's extremely happy with what he's got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john! 1 Posted October 18, 2010 How much did you get for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmwyke 0 Posted October 18, 2010 we way underpriced from what it would seem most people do. Unfortunately we had already quoted, so we had to do it at the price quoted. I guess we all learn our lessons one way or another. ......make sure you have all measurements exact before giving a price.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
casperkyle 0 Posted October 18, 2010 We got $170 thats installed....probably should have got a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyinsignmonkey 0 Posted October 21, 2010 I like it. its good work. the other stuff is nitpicking. where I would slam you is price. you did good work, and you barely got paid for it. 400 should have been more like it at a minimum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmwyke 0 Posted October 21, 2010 how are you guys pricing this that you are coming up with $400+ for cost?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
