  Hey guys... I'm stuck with this logo...
  It's for a conference in Lima, Perú...
  It's called "CORAZÓN (HEART) 2009" with the subtitle of "atrevido (daring)"
  Basically, in spanish it goes like "Daring Heart"

  Now I don't like how the word "atrevido" looks... and I'm not sure how to make it work.
  I've got a creative block...

  Thoughts? Please.

  slightly smaller and track out the letters so it breaths more...

  • corazón or atrevido?– TaylorB

  i like it. i think it works pretty well. it's obviously trying to add some urban vibe to the clinical main type and it works for me. although i do blow goats for a living so what do i know.

  what's your issue with it?

  • not sure if the word "atrevido" works written out like that...– TaylorB

  I think I like it too: I would bring atrevido up until it stats to intersect the N but thats just me. (atrevido would be aligned with the center of 2009)

  i'd agree with your concerns re. "atrevido" ... its not flowing for me. maybe keep scribbling it over and over until it really flows almost, without looking, that's what i do. if you don't have a tablet do it on paper with a pen, don't try and mouse it.

  ... like the tail on the A is not flowing with the word, if this was being tagged really quick with spray or a stick that "A" horizontal would most likely loop around and become the bar on the "t"... etc etc.

  it's kinda looking like you just moused it. if you don't do freehand calligraphy well maybe consider looking at some script/urban fonts and modifying them.

  ... or ask some kid on the street to scribble it for you :)

  • my thoughts exactly... feels and looks moused (which it is...)– TaylorB1/3

    try a pen and paper.. write it over and over until it flows.– horton2/3

  Why does atrevido have to be in that 'font'?

  I am sure you can come up with a cleaner better fitting typeface than that, it's throwing off the nice balance you have going on the title...

  • I guess it's a poor attempt at trying to capture the words expression - atrevido (daring)– TaylorB

  but then you've got the dilemma of how...
  and what font you want to use for your suicide letter...

  I think it looks great especially on the actual design below the logo. As others have said if anything just space the letter a little more but other than that it is very cool.
