Unfortunately for various reasons I have no way to help you … But I was very glad to see your project being so well accepted and supported! I wish I could help!

Thanks Drezz. I can't wait to do the comic convention circuit. I've been waiting for 4 years to do it and I truly am excited. I know it's a lot of work but I'm so ready for it!

That's a great article!

It does say certain fonts should should never be used unless in the hands of an experienced designer. I'm not that experienced but I do take a bit of pride in the fact the nobody noticed until I told them. haha.

For the most part, I still love how it looks in reMIND. I'm just going to do a few experiments with it. We will see what happens.

Interesting that you mentioned Impact and redesigning your title design. I just read an article and it listed Impact as one of those fonts that should never be used: http://weburbanist.com/2010/07/12/logo-fail-10-wa... I actually don't have too much of an issue with Impact, but the reMIND design can be improved, so it's cool that you'll be updating it.

Congrats on the Kickstarter pledge drive goal! I knew it wouldn't take long for you to get there, considering the anticipation for the GN has been quite high. I knew that KS was the perfect avenue for what you were trying to achieve and I'm so glad this is coming together for you.

Once they get printed, you have no choice but to hit the con circuit. You've jumped in headfirst and now you're swimming! I hope I'll be able to get out there and meet up with you face to face!

i'm sure there are some small tweaks you could do to it to make it your own, maybe even fine tune some of the drawing of it. It looks good to me though.

A lot of type people poo poo on Impact, because it comes default on so many computers and is overused by non designers, on bad advertising like junk mail and crappy billboards. Its a victim of its widespread use. There are better bold/chunky condensed fonts out there…..

BTW..congrats on Kickstarter! thats amazing.

Yep, Impact. When I traced it, I think I slightly adjusted some of the curves to look better for how I was using it. I don't plan on getting a new font, I more or less want to add something to it. Texture or something. I have a few ideas that I'll run past you.

it was Impact? hmmm. well it still looks pretty good despite that (yes i'm a type nerd/snob) ha. Honestly i've always liked your logo, feels hand done, so i don't think you should do too much to it. Yeah its kinda sort of a type crime to stretch and mess with fonts, because you tend to compromise all the careful decisions that the type designer made when he/she drew the glyphs. Learning about design you are. Let me know if you need help….I only have a few trillion organized fonts.
