That’s very creative of you to make D into a comb. Nice job.

It could also be ‘mark’ and ‘ID Barbers’ as full text.

The latter will be if we think the mark needs some re-enforcement as to what ‘ID’ means.

The trick here is to make sure the leading letter, in this case the ‘i’, is the one that creates the letter association. If the ‘i’ looks too generic and non character like, then this is not good.

So for this reason, this is why I have tried to make the ‘i’ as clean as possible, and the ‘d’ carries the burden of acting as both symbol and letter.

If that makes sense…

Once the project is complete, I will definitely do a follow-up post. Charting the changes, the reasons why etc. So could be an interesting comparison.

Or it could be dull.

That was one of my choices also, but I have more on the sketch board that I didn’t include above. :) All subtle differences.

Will come down to the final choice of typeface for the word ‘barbers’ etc.

Yes, you are quite right. The type does look a little off balance, but it is early days and do already have heavier weights reader to send off.

The problem right now is not knowing how it will all come together in terms of signage, dimensions and placement.

Sure it will come together… :)
