LFGSS designs and image ideas

big design widget

What like this kind of widget? :)

sorry, ill stop being such a image slut!

have u just designed it as vector, or actually into Phontographer?

according to google - Big Daddy Weave (christian band)

yeah just vector
I'm not super savvy with that kind of thing
photoshop and a illustrator is about my extent. Though i would love to get it to a stage in where i could type with it
Or even learn some of those fancy type programs. I need to go get learned from one'a dem a-ka-dem-ik in-sti-tu-shuns. :)

i'm very much taken with this, any more info on it at all?

Yup that done the rounds in the blogosphere, not my cup of tea, but nicely executed.

It's pretty, but, um a bit colonic?

here is some more of his work, just a flicker account

Regarding the original inquiry. Can't ever image this being used in a mark for LFGSS way too star trek. Also linked characters in any other configuration won't work. If you want to make this into a useable typeface take it back to the drawing board, start of with full characters and then start working out a system for linking the characters under a defined set of rules etc.

yeah, i stumbled across is flickr and start talking with the guy, only know he´s studying in Florida, originally he´s Hungarian, if my memory´s not tricking me. really nice stuff he´s got there...

Undoubtedly skilful, but not my cup of tea (or, for that matter, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSUVWXYZ). Except for the font used there ^, that's really nice.

Exactamundo! you need a grid, and start from there, maybe you have, each one of the letters need to match certain specific points

i remember, if you guys know Scott Hansen (ISO50), that´s where i first saw that G.... it went on the interweb for ages as highly skilled shit!..and it is.

That "G" is pretty but... apparently a sample character from a "custom bold display typeface" if so then its still riding the 2006 bold type wave, all started by Non-Format...

OP = none of those letterforms seem to work as single characters, not wanting to piss on your chips or owt but you should start with trying to create a coherent character set

you're sacrificing the delivery of your message for percieved style, the example below reads as

I made this at uni, I took 1 year of speciality in typography.
Not even great but works all with the same grid

nice, I like the style, but what always gets me is using lower and upper case in the same set

maybe could have gone with a cap. H as well. 'h' and 'n' look very similar

Thats my pet hate, but occurs when restricted to a very geometric grid.

I'm no designer, but I can't read it. Do I need to be a designer to read it? Design fail.

i find that pleasing to the eye

this is genius, best font made lately

Reminds me of this:

but obviously not quite as slick.

This i'd like to see on a bike decal
