    • to me this screams... "YO DAWG... I found a SICK font on dafont.com"set
    • oh shit I thought you said this was the one your friend came up with haha. I might have been a little more tactful had I read it properly. Well, there it is..set
    • that hurts setpockets
    • make something for me set, lets see what u gotpockets
    • Sorry pal. It's kinda cool but the "CLEVELAND" just doesn't work in caps in that font...set
    • We do have a recent work thread...set
    • I'll do it for twenty hundred moniesset
    • its a wip so i didnt wanna toss it in workpockets
    • ps. "cleveland" isnt a font on dafont, let alone a font familypockets
    • Well that's irrelevant really, it's what it made me think of...set
    • when u create something for me, use the colors green and blue...thanks set!pockets
    • imho: CLEVELAND looks too straight. the ellipsis are disproportionate to the tag. the spray drip too neat.HijoDMaite
    • thanks hijopockets
    • too urbanmonospaced
    • also, if you're gonna share work, don't be so defensive... that does look like a font and it doesn't work in all capsmonospaced
    • Only a 30 second go but maybe something less "fonty" ?

    • jostle cleveland around a little and thicken up the rewind text so that it sort of matches the thicker main font. Otherwise, I don't see why not.detritus
    • your leading and trailing ...s should be asymmetrical too.detritus
    • change the matching letters too, ffs!

      FFFFFS!      detritus
    • AND MAKE IT ALL GREENdetritus
    • AND SET IN HELVETICAdetritus
    • the "L"s and the "E"s give it away that it's a font. Doesn't feel like it flows like handwriting should... the A and C feel off, type stroke is too thinPonyBoy
    • mono, not really defensive, just looking for input i can usepockets
    • AND SWAP THE CROWN FOR A DILDOdetritus
    • I would also adjust one of the L's and one of the E's so they're not so exact to other L & E'sPonyBoy
    • http://i.imgur.com/G…pockets
    • yea i need to make the e's a bit differentpockets
    • ugh—I think it got—worse? :) hehe—those fonts should all be the same stroke! It's handwriting :) (regardless if you want the end fonts big—stroke should match)PonyBoy
    • Bro, don't listen to this guys, dudeman. It just needed a little tweaking. Here I fixed it for ya: :) :) :)

    • :(pockets
    • Ah I'm just joking around. Didn't mean to make you sad.nb
    • I always think people are arseholes when they start redoing people's work, but you did ask...

      http://i.imgur.com/r…      set
    • ..and I am an arsehole.set
    • if you want it to feel right, like graffiti, then the letters wouldn't be separated... try to write it by hand fast and see how they connect naturallymonospaced
    • ^PonyBoy
    • i want it to have a urban feel, but more natural letters.. ill play with it laterpockets
    • thanks everyonepockets
    • SWAP THE CROWN FOR A DILDO.detritus
    • ^ lol
      Get out!      pango
    • is this for real?dbloc
    • switch Rewind with Steamer.dbloc
    • fiverr?since1979
    • You have no handstyle. You obviously aren't a tagger. Get a real one to do it for you if that's the vibe you're after. This is toy as fuck. Sorry.sublocked
    • "Cleveland" font and "rewind" font are too similar. Maybe try having rewind be the only handwritten font, and juxposition it with a san serif font?OP31
    • lol, what sublocked said +1. this is some happy meal shit, hurts my eyesterry_cloth
    • the 'rewind' bit is halfway decent though, angling congruency and a marked lack of contrived fuckery, make the whole thing like that and drop the little shit biterry_cloth
    • -ts and all that blue crapterry_cloth
    • and keep the horizontal bars flat, don't angle them up, for instance what you did on the top and bottom of the I looks dumb, only the middle upright gets italicterry_cloth
    • -ized so to speak.same with the E. go look at some hotrod pinstriping work for some inspiration how to do readable yet edgy types of lettering, leave the dripsterry_cloth
    • and shit bits to people who have put the book work interry_cloth
    • I think this works! It like it how you chose a graffiti style, but in a way that it's legible and works as a logo. Not easy to do. It's feels fun. Congrats!SoulFly

    • As a person who often works in the hip hop music lane, it rings too urban to be taken seriously. 2cents.shellie
    • This is a dispensary? Either way, it says "old school" to me if they're into hip hop maybe something that doesn't feel dated or trendy will stand the test.shellie
    • Its good if you don't like stuff.instrmntl
    • if there was a hip hop village in Disneyland, this logo would be at the entrance.moldero
    • fuck I did what set did, I thought your friend made thismoldero
    • upper case probably being one of the factor that "cleveland" does flow from one letter to the next. i'd second the suggestion try to write them on your sketchpango
    • book and develop from there.pango
    • Havent read the comment yet.but is this real?sureshot

    • yeah just messing around as you can tell!sureshot
    • https://s31.postimg.… ..you right bout the TM..had to fix that..I need breakfastsureshot
    • I missed these work crits on here, with everyone having a go. Like old timesBaskerviIle
    • Not to be outdone. I spent 10 mins with some graffiti fonts and illustrator: http://i.imgur.com/e…BaskerviIle
    • What exactly is Cleveland Rewind? A block party? A mix tape? A bar? That would help put some context around the design.stoplying
    • TerribleHayoth
    • The LE and The LA can be "ligatured" if you get someone to write it out.wordssssss
    • @Hayoth. Not helping.pango
    • +1 BaskerviIlepango
    • i actually prefer baskervilles mock uppockets
    • steal it!pango
    • @pockets, you're totally welcome to have it. Can send you the .ai, although I only did it as a jokeBaskerviIle
    • i think pockets' is better than Baserville's. Baskerville's is too grimy for universal accessibility.since1979
