This would have the effect of dragging the eye unnecessarily toward the bottom of the bumper sticker. I'm not sure that's desirable.<BR/><BR/>I think I understand your rationale, though: the white background would be less cluttered.<BR/><BR/>Everything's a trade-off in the design. When I was thinking of sticking the symbols inside the letters, I had thought to use a super-thick sans-serif font like Impact or Haettenschweiler, but the problem with the super-thick fonts is that they're not all that legible when viewed from another car on the highway-- they're too solid. <BR/><BR/>As a result, I compromised and chose letters that were thick, but that had "wide crotches," if you will. (Imagine the space between Kate Moss's inner thighs, then look at the lower-case "n" above to see what I mean.) This led to my placing the symbols outside of the letters.<BR/><BR/>But as I said, I might still try your suggestion. It's no big deal to recolor and rearrange the symbols. We'll see.<BR/><BR/><BR/>KevinKevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-29675252715756178192008-04-01T15:38:00.000+09:002008-04-01T15:38:00.000+09:00A definite improvement.This is just an idea, so ta...A definite improvement.<BR/><BR/>This is just an idea, so take or leave it, but did you consider putting the symbols inside the letters? You have eight symbols, and not counting the apostrophe and "s," you have eight letters left. I have no idea how it would look, but it did occur to me as a possibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-40970900060070949082008-04-01T03:39:00.000+09:002008-04-01T03:39:00.000+09:00Fantastic logo!Fantastic logo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
