The Lawyer Type

So I just started working on a logo for a client in which I am designing and building his website, business card, letterhead, etc. I've been doing a lot of research on the subject since I know nothing about law firms or attorneys or brass scales or anything, really. Bruce, the lawyer man, was in the Navy so we've gone with this sort of nautical concept. This above, is version one. It may change, it may not depending on if he goes for it or if he hates it. Anyways, the point is, look at these awful logos:

It's really too bad that this is what's out there in terms of law office logos. Isn't there just ONE good one out there, somewhere?? If you find any, send 'em my way: selenagoodwin@gmail.com

Retro Poster Type

Paul Tebbott
I'm always feelin' the simplistic colors and shapes Tebbott uses in his designs. The type is really just there as a backup.  Isn't it so wonderful how the choice of a type face can totally date a certain design?

These Pics Don't Need Type

Andrey Yakovlev & Lili Aleeva
I'm sorry about this non-type related post, but it's just one of those rare occasions I just can't pass up on. Sometimes I don't have much patience with fashion photography. Gorgeous girls and fancy clothes usually seem to do the trick for everybody. But Andrey and Lili have such a different vibe, it's enthralling. Just take a look through the first 10 shoots (at least) on Behance and you'll see.

My Kind of Type

Pablo Moreno
I mainly like Pablo's work because he uses thin fonts, places multiplied text over gorgeous imagery, and makes his own stamps. 3 out of 4 of my favorite things.

Sign Type II

This is a sign I painted for the shop I work at called Endless Knot in Belltown, Seattle. Free-form type! Yeah!

Also a "yeah!" goes out to me having internet finally! It's been over 2 months and I was starting to get extremely depressed. Fortunately, that doesn't need to happen. I will start blogging daily and posting monthly wallpapers and playlists, so don't you worry! Oh, and not that anyone cares, but I got a new kitten! Maybe I will incorporate her into a design 'cuz she is super super cute of course. Her name is Moose.
