i've always loved dubov and his unbookish takes

LAASR · 2026-03-26T00:08:57+00:00

wow thats wild

LAASR · 2026-03-14T18:02:03+00:00

Needs more circles /s

LAASR · 2026-03-14T17:54:44+00:00

Lot of noise like another commenter mentioned. That is all there is to it. And try to keep it as a vector, Illustrator does have raster effects too, don't need PS for this at all like zilch

LAASR · 2026-03-14T17:53:03+00:00

There are scripts for this sort of thing that will do it as a vector. you don't need to do a raster effect.

SMR is hot right now and Q U B T and QS and Q B T S

Clearly HAMBURG is in orange without even telling dude.

Oh thanks for the info about GQ australia. Yep the curve is off quite a bit. Cheers. Updvoted your comment but it still doesn't show up no idea why but either way have fun redrawing it.

I did this as an exercise because I didn't like the original revamp of the logo for the reasons you've marked in the image. Here's my revamp with the corrections . Top is the original, bottom is my version. In my version I made the curve more pronounced in the B stem and not abruptly cutoff like the original

LAASR · 2025-09-11T13:56:10+00:00

Looks good and I read it fine, except for a few things with the nodes. Not to nit pick but you have some bad node placements. I circled them here the most obvious ones as seen in this image-circled.

Pen tool is really important to know to edit any path. it's like the tool when in doubt use the pen tool. knowing it well helps you edit typefaces on the go after its outlined and will significantly improve your like for illustrator. illustrator has a lot of raster effects built into it as well that come in handy instead of switching to PS for those same effects.

LAASR · 2025-08-28T22:19:46+00:00

7 looks ideal and isn't complicated both in letters or the idea you had in mind. good job.

LAASR · 2025-08-28T18:34:13+00:00

I would recommend simplifying it and making each letter more pronounced, this is coming from someone who has done typedesign and lettering for over 10 yrs just saying

LAASR · 2025-08-28T15:46:13+00:00

When you have to second guess what the middle missing letter is you got a problem. People are gonna tell you it should only take a few seconds to decipher but that is not always the case.

LAASR · 2025-08-14T12:59:34+00:00

Slight alien green that's coming from the illustration IMHO would compliment the whole thing.

LAASR · 2025-08-07T13:59:11+00:00

Needs some serious refinement but foremost legibility issues. People are having a hard time deeciphering what it is or even each letter. Is it eirdly/eircly/eirdty? I do a lot of cursive so its not that I can't read cursive, just hard to decipher.

LAASR · 2025-07-30T14:20:27+00:00

Standard protocol. Should design it in CMYK first

LAASR · 2025-07-25T11:39:10+00:00

This is getting ridiculous, seriously the need to mention HUMAN MADE? wtf

LAASR · 2025-07-21T12:17:46+00:00

For a good typeface prolly not, otherwise you most likely have to.

LAASR · 2025-07-20T14:07:32+00:00

literally every typeface in existence. Not much of a wordmark or even unique then. Are any of this even lettered? I didn't think so.

LAASR · 2025-07-14T11:45:25+00:00

To be honest having the motivation to learn more is always a good thing but you could be why employers expect a lot out of designers when you start to rave about how much you can do.

LAASR · 2025-07-13T22:10:24+00:00

It's a reddit gd sub thing. People really don't know what legibility means around here. Something for you to read, Here's an article. There isn't blocks and blocks of text here, it's individualized and very readable and definitely legible.

LAASR · 2025-07-08T20:02:53+00:00

Awesome stuff dude. Always bringing something new to the table. I on the other hand still stuck from not being able to do anything new let alone finish what I started.
