Logo

Hi all. As you know, Nick Deford has been thinking about logo design for MEARCSTAPA. He and I have been talking about ideas, and we agree (though this is open for discussion) than something simple and graphic would be more effective for this purpose than something more fully drawn. The logo bar that I made for the blog (look up) is pretty (I think), but many people have not realized that I intended the C with the dragon to be part of the word, and think that it is MEARSTAPA.

So, to that end, Nick has worked up a few basic designs for your commentary. I think that they are really cool, and I think that they read graphically very well for a website, journal, and I already want a t-shirt with one on the front, and the full name spelled out on the back.

I am partial to one or two of these, but will refrain from weighing in for the moment. Please do comment, suggest, etc. We might also go with a color (these B/W are just concept sketches), etc. Comment away!
