OR consider how all those colors you mentioned will play out across the artifacts. will each artifact get its own color? <br /><br />i'm not really buying the layering inside the D as relating to lance's experiments. i can see, however, that in the large D you show, there is a P living inside it. in that way it is two letterforms in one. i kind of like that idea, but it doesn't immediately strike me as being about what lance was exploring. not that it has to be that exact thing anyway...<br /><br />i think that's it for now.thenewprogrammehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946645529931768389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984654218662631050.post-87457004567745434232010-04-12T06:34:44.339-07:002010-04-12T06:34:44.339-07:00I find those patterns to be really sexy. Good stuf...I find those patterns to be really sexy. Good stuff! I like that you brought the logo of the "d" out of the word duplicity. It looks much more sophisticated with all of the letters on the same x-height. <br /><br />luv you,<br />MoAndrea 'Mo' Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957240156590393707noreply@blogger.com
