Such as rounded edges on your logo, try a rounded font? Sharp edges, try a sharper font? Which is why I think the last one of the bunch works most. Like the logo it's simple, with all the elements of the logo in; clean, modern.<br/><br/>The logo solution that you've come up with works well and is probably one of my favoured design in the class. Maybe keep developing see what rounded edges would do to it? Just for the sake of development and creativity.

I think that the font suits the logo design which makes it stand out and making it bold will make it easy to see at different sizes. I also think that the bottom right logo works well.

However, this could easily be done with any font. I personally think you should avoid the rounded fonts, as they don't look right with the sharp edges of the graphic 'e'. I think my favourite of the lot is the second one, although it is quite light and may become too thin at small sizes. I prefer it as it's more distinguished and characteristic than the other choices, which are relatively simple, everyday fonts.

Getting a logo that works for this project has been quite an experience for me also so I can appreciate where you are coming from.

My personal choice would be the one in the bottom right; the slightly rotated ‘e’ I feel makes the logo complete.

I have also referred A5 and its a blow that I really didn’t need during this stage of the assignment as its just another thing to worry about; however, my amendments are also quite limited and shouldn’t take too long.

Designers block in this instance is almost expected. As I have mentioned in other peoples comments, this is the first time that many of us have undertaken work like this.

Self generated creative resources such as the mood boards, mind maps and collation of inspirational work is invaluable to try and overcome the afore mentioned ‘designers block’.

I think that the pre-flight information will be quite technically involved; as a result I am quite looking forward to Mondays lecture.

They really help you to think of ideas for the CD cover and also looking at different artists Cd's can really help for inspiration.

I think the key to fixing this is to use a lot of weight to make the thickness of the paths stand out more. Although I found this hard my self as when the logo was made smaller it seemed to merge into a black blob affect. The key is scale and scalability.<br/><br/>Thanks, Martyn Hi Greg
