  • design help please need a cool modern look for sign?

    Posted by Harry Cleary on 15 October 2007 at 17:24

    Hi All,
    Have cme up against a brick wall on this one, I have been asked by this band to design a ‘cool, modern look’ for them which eventually will go on a backdrop. But I’m drawing a blank as you can see. They explicitly forbid the use of musical instruments though!
    Any ideas from you good people?
    Thanks

    Harry, with all due respect, I think there is too much emphasis on "Society" and not enough on "Jazz".
    Try a thinner script, or try a different arrangement.
    Here’s a quickie:
    Love….Jill

    Less of the wisecracks Lowery and get designing …before the ‘Design Police’ break down my door and haul me off to the ‘home for the criminally tasteless’! 😮

    Harry, that is my absolute favorite font, Valentino from
    http://www.signfonts.com
    Phill, I like yours, has that classic feel.
    Altho I do not like Jazz, the name of this society makes me think of New Orleans.
    Love….Jill

    Harry, can you email the site owner, Steve C., directly from Signfonts.com?
    I have dealt with him in the past and his service was excellent.
    If there is a glitch on his site, he needs to know!
    Love….Jill

    thanks Nik

    I’m going through a no imagination stage at the minute….99% of the time I am designing For Sale signs so it can go it bit stale at times….that’s why I enjoy trying to help out here….something different 😀

    2 more cracking designs! I love the Jazz in both of them. I have done a temporary job for them using Rob’s dog, but I will get down to a final one over the weekend. Thanks everyone for taking the time…..and stop skivving Nik!!!! 😀 😀

    Jill I emailed Steve C before and heard nothing back, I think it just doesnt recognise Ireland for some reason. Some fabulous brushie fonts on there though. Must try it by Paypal instead of a Credit Card.

    Hi Harry

    I bought the font from the site on Jill’s recommendation (thanks Jill) and had no problems. Have used it several times in the last few weeks and I’m still not fed-up with the font yet.

    Is your credit card out of date by any chance….?
    :lol1:

    😀 😀 I only want it to be out of date when the wife goes out with it!!
    Just attempted to buy it again and when I click ‘view cart’ it just goes back to the same page, I can’t get past that.

    Never had that kinda difficulty spending money on the web before! 😮

    Have just checked here and I bought it through PayPal. Not sure why I did this cos I normally use c-card directly. Possibly had the same issue as you.(with the site, NOT THE WIFE!! ) 😛
