Made by request: An experimental logotype design meant to be high-impact and high-energy, such as befits a speed metal band's album cover.
It contains my own inspirations as well as those of the band, who sketched a few prototypes.
This is clearly unfinished not only in terms of glyphs but also kerning. I was only requested to make the glyphs "AEIMNPRV" and the rest can be considered as doodles... at least, for now. It seems that there's a trend wherein people who make requests of me just want one-off designs like this as opposed to refined and finished ones. But, I'll continue this one on my own if inspiration strikes.
ZMRDE!
Na plešce ti vidím vešku,
zaklapni svou sprostou držku,
nebo spadneš na koleje.
Zpozdím tebou české dráhy,
spousta lidí se pobleje,
až zvážím tvé smrti váhy.
Na plešce ti vidím vešku,
koukám na ní pěkně zvršku.
Koukám tak i na tebe,
na všechny kolem sebe.
This font was created around the theme of unstable. It was developed from shapes and structures of scaffolding. I began looking at how each part of scaffolding is pivotal in creating a solid structure and if a part was to be removed it would become unstable and collapse. Each letter form is molded from different parts of a scaffolding frame, such as c-clips etc. The outcome was very engineered/mechanical and is probably best used as a display font for businesses.
This font originally started out as a pixelated design, but changed considerably over its development. The bold strokes combined with the jagged edges and pointed serifs are almost reminiscent of something you'd see on a hard rock album cover.
