hello again.
my friend plays in a two man band. they sound very much like the black keys with more of a hip-hop type of drum beat.
they are called The Bad Hand. and this is their new logo....
lay it on me!

like the hand but the type's letterforms are very similar to each otherand kind of vibrate.
maybe something hand written with... a bad hand? scrawled if you will.

kinda blocky and creepy
i like it
- Gorbie0
i was kinda aiming for a Saul Bass feel... this is just a squashed scan of the original drawings.
i think i'll simplify it a bit on the trace - maybe that will get rid of the excessive vibration?
- Gorbie0
here it is in black & white.
which is probably going to be more commonly used.

Definately got the Saul Bass ref. the type just isn't doing it for me yet, IMO.
Maybe you just need to rough it up a little more so each letterform gains it own personality.

i like the hand, i think its good.. and i prefer the black/white versoin
and i think you could maybe rework the type... its not really doing it for me

i don't like the hand. it's not really being bad enough. i'm not sure what it's doing, but it doesn't look bad.

the thing i dont like about the text is that it looks unintentionally sloppy. if the text was cleaned up like the hand it would make a big difference.

Thanks for the input everyone.
i see the concensus is the type is awkward... i'm working on it.

it is very saul bass but it doesn't leave much to the imagination like his work does. it's a hand and it's... a bit bad.

work on the types. - must have more character. the hand does it for me

what if u handdraw the type?
- Gorbie0
everything was handrawn. hmm.. do you mean use a normal handwriting style?
are the letters too blocky?

If the word "Hand" wasn't there, I would have trouble recognizing the hand as, indeed, a hand.
...but I was never with the hip crowd in school. What do I know.

i liked the 1st version more better
- pascii0
hmm. maybe it's just right. use a little the 'rough'-filter : )

i like the first one better as well with the type flush left, thought the font is pretty hard on the peepers. like the hand.

i like this final one better..
although it reminds me a tidbit of Godfather..
