Hi guys, new to the forum but not to type design. I went trough my old files and came across something that could be used as a logo for the forum. Little reworking and voila:

What do you think?

Only usable at large sizes.

Mark Simonson · May 2016

I'm not against having a logo per se... But if there is a logo, keep in mind that TypeDrawers is a play on words with more than one possible meaning. That was intentional. Fixing it to one meaning kind of spoils that.

That said, I think it works fine to just have the name TypeDrawers set in a font. I don't know that we really need a logo.

Might be nice to get a new font on here. If anyone else is willing.

I thing if we have a logo, it should be roughly the dimensions of the current title. Like the kind of thing you seem on a bike frame. I like that compact header and probably the only place it'll be used is at the top of this forum.

I’m against a logo.

Thank you all for your comments, I appreciate them. I thought my logo had a smart idea, but it's true it is not usable in small sizes and not the right format.

+1 for no logo. If others are in favor of a logo I vote for a Bernie logo. This one is too TRUMPy for my liking.

Mark Simonson · May 2016

Trumpy is evil!

Our multi-tiered logo development committee and extensive focus groups have decided on this fresh logo idea. Our design process acts as an invisible facilitator applying strategic rigor to bold thinking and allowing us to develop creative ideas that we know are relevant. The new TypeDrawers logo jibes with technology, conversion rates and user engagement. It creates a mutually enhancing and reinforcing brand identity. There is no space between e and D which captures the strong drive of the company and amplifies the users. The new TypeDrawers logo features a sans-serif typeface to suggest customer closeness. The open apertures in the design embody the spirit and possibility of a young forum that continues to build and shape its story and future. The roundness of the right half of the D refers to the world, refers to globalization and communicates the international reputation of our institution. Lastly, the vivid aqua colour evokes growth, harmony and safety that we intend to bring to our stakeholders.

Bought!

Jackson Showalter-Cavanaugh · May 2016

Cool. Now everyone should buy a font license. www.okaytype.com

Stephen Coles · May 2016

Ok, I dig that argument. And we already have typemaker and punchcutter.

Mark Simonson · May 2016

I pitched it as “Type Drawers” when I suggested it, not jammed together with camel case. For what it’s worth.

Richard Fink · May 2016

If this is going to be done, let it at least be cutting edge.
I want some animation.

Russell McGorman · May 2016

With the unique concentration of type designers on this site and with a simple two word (camel case or otherwise) text logo, what about setting it in a different font every week - every day - or with even with every refresh?

howabout changing the name.

GlyphPimps has a nice ring to it.

If that's the direction, I think either GlyphPushers or GlyphShills is more inclusive and sounds Klassier.
