LogoType

Having a fond love of typography, I made an attempt at designing the logotype for the collaboration project myself and 14 other creatives are involved in, Creative Cumbria. All the creatives have the opportunity to add their own design for the project identity, this will help immensely with the projects self-promotion and for approaching exhibitors and venues.

The traditional newspaper headline meets a modern hand-rendered swash.

  1. Hello Sarah, How’s your typehand coming along? I was wondering what fonts did you use, and if you customized the i and v or is it default ligature?

    keep up the good work!

  2. Well the type hand is becoming quite challenging! As with using both hands youve to get the write size letter in conjunction to the rest of the alphabet, which i thought was going to be quite easy - but is a task - looking forward to printing the full set very soon!

    For this logo I exaggerated the initial v swash - increased it in size, i created this be turing the typography into outlines in illustrator - allows more flexibility and very easy manipulation.
