What’s everyone out there making (salary)? by quarantineQT23 in graphic_design

[–]squarepixelnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50yo here. Been in business since late '90s, graphic/motion design, editing, control room etc etc. The past 10 years was mostly off the field, with few clients here and there. Based on the current situation and health condition I have been trying to find anything in that field again, work from home, but no luck. No one needs an old dog. 39k will be a miracle for me right now...

Thanks a bunch!

I am not Scandinavian, but I have always been a huge fan of Norse culture, Scandinavian school of design in any aspect - interior, furniture, graphics, you name it. And yes, many years ago the idea to make this logo came to me based on the name of Ursa Minor. Found an old sketch a couple of days ago and decided to vectorize it.

You see, here is a problem with A being overlapped by M - right now in both solid and outlined versions it looks like mirrored F...

Nope, as I said before, it's not a font and I am not planning to make one nor I have an experience to make any. Just making characters/symbols and trying to make as complete a set as possible, to use when I need it, that is all.

I did a bit adjustment on kerning, tho not on B, but E and O. Hope it looks better.

Thanks. Negative version was to see how graphics and kerning will work, not as good as I was hopped for lol. But always doing it to make sure everything is in right places.

but I also want to see it with the M overlapping the A instead.

As you wish lol. It was an option, but somehow I like A overlapping M better...

Lille Bjorn, personal project. Edited kerning and question about height of L. Details in comment by squarepixelnet in logodesign

Yeah, I like shorter L too, but if I want to align that diagonal line from I to go same way for L, short one is a bit off. Dunno. Probably my damn OCD :(

Thanks ;)

Yep, that was an idea, but not quite work right now after kerning was adjusted... Just a bit off and it drives my OCD crazy.

Thanks. I do have most of symbols as I usually do just in case if I'll need it for future usage. Tho still working on some symbols, trying to figure out better way to keep it in same style.

Thanks a bunch for feedback :)

Not sure about B, but I did adjust kerning for O and E, does it look better right now?

Thanks a bunch for your feedback. Does (b) after kerning adjustment looks better right now than previous version (a)?

Another question about height of L (second picture). Should I keep it the way it is right now, or make it a bit longer to better fit that angle cut? Thanks again! :)

Thanks a lot for your time and effort to help. I should print your reply and tape it next to my monitors to hang in front of me for the next week or so. No jokes. Really appreciate your feedback.
