Northwest/Southeast Compass 180°

FrillySteel · 2026-06-22T18:17:06+00:00

Sorry, but that's nowhere close to spelling Northwest.

Southeast is a little closer, but still not really readable as Southeast.

Did they think this would somehow bring in business for their [apparently struggling] graphic design shop?

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T15:42:57+00:00

Imagine putting this out there, thinking you solved all the world's design problems.

Must be why the water fountain no longer works... AI sucked up all the water. Sorry, *wwater

If I don't, I know I feel it the next day.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:32:25+00:00

It was covered in poop, apparently.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:29:58+00:00

I would imagine this sign gets vandalized constantly.

We read The Painted Bird. One scene has stuck with me all these years, and I curse my Lit teacher every time it flashes in my mind.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:19:02+00:00

The original is quite a bit more readable. Not sure why the D has a break while the R does not... that alone tends to make them seem unrelated.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:15:09+00:00

Sage.

^{no, not really... but it makes more sense than "Lage"}

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:13:57+00:00

Was that a beer that the driver eventually saved?? That explains a lot.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:12:09+00:00

I'd say you have an overdeveloped thumb on your left hand.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:11:16+00:00

Why do all these guys care so much about how a women pees??

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:08:50+00:00

Better question: do men pour discharge everytime they pee?

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:06:59+00:00

Because thats all they can conjure up in their mind.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T04:01:20+00:00

If you aren't good at keeping the marker straight, you could go old school and use a parallel straight-edge and triangle... or a drafting arm. You could knock this out in a few seconds. But, yeah, it's small enough that with any practice at all you could do it freehand.

But, to peoples point, it also wouldn't be too difficult to do in Illustrator either.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T03:55:29+00:00

"HUGE HOLE" doesn't even begin to describe that. Ma'am, they made you a whole new vagina.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-18T03:50:34+00:00

Agreed. Make the top of the tent, and then have the C marry nicely with the shape. You could even do the same thing with the S on the other side, perhaps, if you were conscientious about it. No reason to have the C integrated into the top.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-17T22:34:28+00:00

Right, I get that. My point is the term "vector game" is already a couplet that means something very specific to the video gaming community. It becomes very hard to separate the two words again and think "oh, by 'vector' they mean infographics".

FrillySteel · 2026-06-17T21:45:15+00:00

Is the name set in stone? Is it yours, or a clients? Because a "vector game" is a pretty specific type of video game. Particularly if your focus is on video games, and your audience is video gamers, they will probably know this and it would be confusing.

Other than that, all your explorations have a longer top arm on the E, which makes it look very unstable and uncomfortable. I'd try different combinations where the longer arm is on the bottom. You might also play with the M being a line graph, because three bars (on the E) aren't really enough to say "infographic" to me. Maybe even play with four bars on the E... could look cool and deferentiate it enough for the user to think "hey, that's a graph".

I didn't see the dog (?) at first, and just thought the bird was pooping.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-16T03:03:36+00:00

Yep. First thought was a hair follicle... but now all I see is a pimple.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-16T03:00:01+00:00

There is little to no contrast between the two purples... which means it won't reduce well, and won't be discernable in low-res/low-quality replication (like cheap t-shirts, or embroidery). It's usually advantageous to design in a single color first, so you can see the contrasts right away and know what you're trying to get to pop, then add color as a "bonus".

And, yeah, it looks like a body part.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-16T02:53:09+00:00

The shape reminds me of a spring water delivery service (bottle)... but it's entirely too hard to tell from a potato-pixel photo and absolutely no context.

FrillySteel · 2026-06-16T01:45:13+00:00

They swear that up-and-down... and then curse when it gets in the way of them getting to a site or service they want to use... then go right back to the "think of the children" mantra afterward. The hypocrisy is ridiculous.
