I’m sure there’s more nitpicking I could do, but I’ll save it for a visually imperceptible touch-up sometime down the road. I’m happy with where it is now.

After years of failed attempts, I’m amazed that my personal logo came together over the course of just three days. But then again, that’s probably the only way it could happen.

It won’t stop anyone in their tracks, but I think what it lacks in distinction it makes up for in austere strength, and it’s built from the kind of geometry that informs my general aesthetic. It’s also a… See more →

Locked up. I may still get more OCD about the R’s proportions (the height of the bowl is still somewhat arbitrary, for example). But I also may not.
