But I have a good font called "Dungeon" (or Dungeon Blocks Filled).

Here is my all caps attempt.

After some more experimentation...here is (I hope) a final set with one version in plain white for most uses and engraved brass for others. I've included the original too.

The big leap came when swapping the fonts on the 'and' and 'brass' which make 'brass' brass sign-like. It also freed up the fancier font for the 'and'. But Gary's (and others) early views on using an ampersand looked best. The Experts. The fonts are Arial Black (Bricks), Kunstler Script (&) but stretched, and good old Times NR (Brass). The brassed & needs some work - digging out old postings on cutting bevels.

I have played with ideas for the house but none looked good enough so I will stick with the current blob minus text.

I think it answers the "why" test that a graphics-designer friend said she was blasted with at art college. Ie there is some reasoning behind the choice of fonts, colour etc.

Unless you have better ideas!!!!

Ross: I will look at the Informal font...

Thanks again.

I know you like these topics! So...

I want to add a dash of spice to my Bricks and Brass logo.

The cliche would be to do something bricky and brassy but I think I prefer the idea of simple text.

The original is Times Roman. It usually goes with a round logo to the right. It has to work on a range of flat coloured backgrounds.

I think I like options 3 and 6 best but what do you think? A-H are the scripty fonts that I have easily to hand.

I will attach the XAR file too... Some of the fonts won't work for you, though.

Thanks, as always.

How about entwining the "and" and Brass?

my vote gets no. 4 (unbevelled), nice chunky brick font (i would (! - what do i know!) try reducing the tracking a bit to tighten up the 'Bricks'), best contrast of fonts.

just a suggestion, but i think 4 MIGHT also look good if you bevelled the brass (not the brick though) and with the 'and' make it...can't think of the right word "incut",

...just my humble opinion!
