Spoiler: show

I dont think these are very good but I cant really point out why they're bad to improve either. Probably just going to start from scratch.

Fonts take months of work (as a team) to develop, so it's considered rape amongst designers when someone stretches a font. If you want a wide font, don't stretch one: use a wider font. The balance between the different parts of the letter is completely distorted because of stretching, so never do that. Adjust kerning and play with tracking, but never stretch!

I'm curious to see who's going to win this. There are a lot of good entries in a lot of different styles. Here's my final application, worked on the teeth a bit more.

Unless you're talking about the first one with the bloat I didnt. Well, not that I remember of doing anyway, I kinda fucked around for a while.

This is Arial or Helvetica stretched horizontally.

**#686578** · 2011-06-09 16:24

Myriad Pro, but you're right I would've had to stretch it at some point.

**Enedin** · 2011-06-09 16:34

Myriad Pro is a nice font, but it's sad that there's a stigma on it. "Oh that's Myriad pro, standard font blabla." It happens to be a decent font.

Anyway, try unstretching it and you should see that the viewing comfort and all-around balance has improved.

Typography is not my strong suit, so I resisted the urge to get too fancy with it.

1 hour and 30 mins left to the contest.

**Daruma** · 2011-06-10 22:18

Did not really have time to finish this concept to full but but the idea is to have a (better centered) ring in the background around the Order Initiate/Leader/whateverthefuck you wanna call it with Latin writing out the words Order Blue Gartr. To the right and left would be a better defined art nouveauish border....but that depends on how busy it is. Anyways here it is...

gl to you all

**Ragns** · 2011-06-10 23:05

And contest over!

I'm gonna have to compile all this so mods can vote.

**Aksannyi** · 2011-06-10 23:51

Wow I really dig Shade's work. That's a sexy drawing.

Good luck everyone! I know I didn't win, but mine wasn't really a super serious entry anyway.
