clever.
i really like how the D curves similarly to the end of a board. How would it look if you reversed the B to give it a similar curve. Just a thought.

I thought those 'O's were buttons until I thought about it...
Nice idea.
- those are a little too much buttons on the first sight indeed.stewart

i tried that it looked terrible, i tried it in a few typefaces but none really worked. I think there's probably a typeface out there which will work but i'm yet to find it.

Type feels 'a little dull', but not much, and I don't know what I'd suggest.
- jimzyk0
yeah i like it so far - keep going with it methinks.
i agree with baselineshift the D is nice, did you customize that a little?
- WhiteFace0
- yeah, this doesnt make it any more readable. have you tried the above 8 holed version, with larger holes?baseline_shift
- yep, tried that, it seems to just empathize the button look.WhiteFace
- *emphesize, stupid spell checkWhiteFace
- this one has even more BUTTON all over it :)stewart

I know nothing about boarding (but a few things about godding) and my initial reaction to the first round was 'buttons' too. I suppose your target audience would make the association.
With the revised there is something about the diamond shape that bothers me - I think it is that the diamonds tend to hold up the eye when reading the letters whereas the horizontal dots keep it moving through the word.
I like it as a logotype however. Simple, bold and clean.

Maybe try stretching the O's a little so they don't look like buttons so much.
- good thought. I would use a typeface that isnt based on a circle instead of stretching anything.baseline_shift
- Don't go stretching type. That's a huge no-no.monospaced
- good idea, i'll investigate.WhiteFace

BOARD
G(:: ::)Dor something like this. Just throwing stuff back at ya.

How would it look if instead of the binding holes you used foot prints at a slight angle say 20 degrees?.... or would that be about as good as aids.
- BrandNewly0
does it work small?
- Andrew_D0
This might be really lame, but what if you put the G above the O in board, rotate that O and then put the D in god beneath the rotated O in board. You'll have a cross and the binding hole pattern with a double meaning!
Again, that might be ridiculous. I haven't had my morning coffee.
- You mean like this, http://www.boardgod.… Looks a bit phallic to me!WhiteFace

- ha ha, I meant more like boot prints without any detail, plus would the feet not be pointing the same way?...chossy
- but yeah it looks shite like that.chossy

reverse the B so you get the board feel
- JasonPenopolis0
make the B reveser and look more like a D with two holes?
- I thought you left this place. Your suggestions are worthless.monospaced
- Tried many variations of this, it looked really bad.WhiteFace
- monospaced0
I'm a fan of the diamond shaped hole pattern with the larger holes.
- i feel like it reads less like a snowboard that way...baseline_shift
- JasonPenopolis0
I would take the D reverse it make it Bold shape as in the inside hole removed remove the holes in the B place them in the D reverse the D
you might think it works weird cause your not use to it but it would stand out as a new character and more unique try it and post it let us see- Have you read any of this thread??WhiteFace
- of course you would, and that's why you are loved heremonospaced
- JasonPenopolis0
if you don't make changes like i mentioned its just another avant garde font...
- maybe he could benefit from a 5x5 pixel grid, you fuckwadmonospaced
- It's not Avant GardeWhiteFace
