  to be used for a logo for an engineering company specialising in CNC parts production.

  already thought of Gotham, Futura, Avenir, Avant Garde... any others?

  Just updating the old logotype and repositioning the company to expand into larger businesses. They are very modern and up to date with automated processes etc.

  None of these O's mentioned above are perfect circles. If you want a perfect circle, you've gotta draw one, Jim.

  to the viewer they are circle O's maybe I shouldn't have used the word Perfect.

  Well, then Gotham or Avenir should do the trick. Futura lacks personality imo. And make sure to tweak at least some of the letters, especially if it's a wordmark.

  • Also, Futura is slavishly geometric, making it ungainly and imbalanced.– gramme1/5

    "Futura lacks personality." What does that say about me, considering I really love Futura?– boobs2/5

    You lack personality.– gramme3/5

    :D– gramme4/5

    Personality doesn't matter if you've got Boobs. :-)– lherb5/5

  you wouldn't really want a typeface to have an optically circular o, no?

  • (why not?)– francoisfido1/2

    at least a not uniformly optically circular O, no?– magnificent_ruin2/2
