  I drew this as a logo for myself, and was wondering how the letterforms look to everyone. I know the whole thing needs a little cleaning up, but I am looking for opinions on kerning, proportions, etc.

  Looks 1940'ish, is that the look that you where trying to achieve?

  • yes, but a little more modern with the consistent line width and rounded ends– epigraph

  Really cool! I agree with digdre. How about a different shape on the base of the p? The connection with the p and the h seems loose.

  I agree that the lowercase "p" in (2) instances needs to be connected or closer together on the base. Other than that I like the direction.

  The P shape is something I have been fighting with. When I connected the base it seemed to mess with the baseline and kerning.

  I based the letters on citadel and Kuenstler script which have similar p's. I think Bickham is like that also.

  I will wrestle with it some more...thanks! =)
