Hello all, I have a bad case of "looking at this too long eyes" and need some pro criticism. This is my personal monogram/freelance logo. I feel like thickness of the /D flared serifs are conflicting with the triple flared serifs of the /S... Not sure what the best solution is.

I tried the addition of spikes and it looked a little overloaded.... I'm also trying to find some references of some old monograms. I have mostly just found stock images, so I don't have the greatest frame of reference.

Mostly local companies. (London & Toronto, Canada) for general freelance, until I graduate and get a job at an agency or design firm, I will continue with side projects and freelance throughout, I just want my personal monogram to shine for my portfolio and social media ect.
Or if you really like that lion's tail terminal, maybe use it only on one end of the "S" and make the other end plain. As in: "I can do both." Which might make it rich enough to not need a "D".
“de-tailing”…?
I’d consider some direction like this:
interesting idea, still looks a little off.... I do like the idea of the spine work you did. Andreas Stötzner said: ahaha

Might have to outsource a bit!
and then I made a logo that represented "dunford design" but it was also cliché for simple designs...
I want something that reflects my own style, that can express my work—you know?..
Thanks, I agree, the trifurcated idea was some-what arbitrary. I think most references I have seen that follow this style are bifurcated... Here is what I'm working with now: I still need to work on the spine and the bowl of the D but what do you guys think is working best? I'm also going to make the top of the S a smoother transition, it curves too aggressively.
(Sorry.)
That makes sense, I understand. The only drawback I see is that the junctions (? I think that's the term) are now a point instead of rounded, perhaps once I get the placement correct I can round the corners. I'll send some screenshots of comparisons when I iron this out — give me a sec.
Starting to look better?
