These logos need better typography!

[Gare]

I thought I'd just throw this out for members to play with (or not): Creative Market was giving away "instant logos", and to be fair, they weren't giving away typefaces, so I think they used Google fonts.

To be un-fair (!), the typography sucks. Do you think you can do better? What typeface would you use? Can you take a sec' and post your makeovers?



I can't offer any prizes or anything: I can discuss this stuff with members, though.

And remember, because this page was free, you add better text and I think you've got yourself a few new logos to convince clients to use, right?

Even if not, at least this gives you some real-world experience with using fonts and good typography practices, something we don't get into nearly enough on tg.

Here is a go at the mug one. The main font is Americana extra bold. . I altered the g slightly and rotated the u inside the cup. The secondary text is Switzerland Narrow

The ones that I think are the "Royal Mountain", "Beer Pub" and "Bowtie". When I see Royal Mountain I think of the west, the Rockies and therefore should use 1900's woodcut font. The Beer Pub total logo lacks definition all round and the font just doesn't help. Gee the Bowtie word is asymmetrical and the word could be the logo. It's always the case when I worked in a small design shop a price was agreed so you were allotted a time to complete the job so nearly always the font was last and therefore most times I took the work home if I wasn't satisfied.

Here is my idea with the Bowtie. The font is Desire Pro with the cap B and cap t replaced with extras ( I did use Designer Pro for this but it was a bit of a pain replacing the glyphs) I slightly altered the shape of the bowtie to add a bit of a whimsical touch. The idea was to bring to mind the image of a waiter straightening his bowtie.

The Pizza Oven was in distress (get it, hah hah) over its logo and name. So a change was in order...
