Pull the ribbon from your hair. And put it in my logo.

Tweaked the wordmark, because it wasn’t quite there. Here’s the first stab:

The original logo for this site

Here’s the new one:

    A very nice illustrated feel.

    Cool.

    Nice logo! I like the ribbon version.
    (2 cents) Positioning of “Then Some” reads slightly better in 1st one.

    Thanks, Tony - looking at it now, I completely agree that positioning in the first one will give it more balance.

    When I get a chance to breath, I’ll fix it.

    Thanks for the “designers eye for web guy”.

    If you are worried that the”&” is indistinguishable try chosing a more conventional-looking one that fits the space and retains the look you desire.

    Great tip. The actual idea kind of got built around the garamond italic &, because I’ve always liked it so much. But with the curves in the ribbon now, that element isn’t as necessary. Thanks for that!

    I think the “&” looks like a wheelchair kinda

    Hey - Glenn, you’re right. I never even noticed it before, but you’re right, it does look like a wheelchair.

    I still think Tony’s right - when I get a chance I’m going to switch to a less stylized version….

    Shake it loose - and let it fall
    I like the first one better…

    Thanks for dropping by, Julie!
