Personal Mark

I like the popping out thing going on here, but as I said in your previous post, I'm really not feeling that Z, which still looks weird and clumsy to me.

Someone would like to discuss the finer points of intellectual property law with you:

All kidding aside, this is pretty good, but I think the curves of the Z could be refined a bit, they don't seem to flow right. I'm sure it's hard to get that center stroke to change direction and thickness and still move fluidly.

I do like the 3-D perspective idea, but the end of the letter on the lower right seems to be more shallow than at the top, it's as though the the letter extrusion is going in one direction bu the letter face is going another, or that the letter is twisted in three dimensions perhaps.

All in all I think this is a good sketch but needs adjustment. Don't abandon this idea, I think you're on to something. The pairing of a completely curved letter paired with straight angular lines is a nice contrast.

I looked at this three times before I saw the Z. I am tired, that may have something to do with it. I didn't see it until I saw UR's post about perspective.

It is obvious now, but I looked at it at first and didn't see it, I was trying to figure out what it was...like two thumbs or some such thing. Again, I am very tired today, that may have clouded my vision.

I like the slanted 3D look, but not a fan of the Z. Particularly how the ends curve inward.

I guess what looks strange to me about the curves is that there seems to be a twist on the surface of the letters, a compound curve where they are bent in three dimensions. Rendered in flat colors without shading makes that curve hard to perceive, but if you follow the extrusions you'll see that the corners of the letters reach different heights, which would result in a curved letter face.

I'm probably over-reacting to this, but it just looks a bit off to me. It doesn't look bad, I think you've done good work. But if this were mine, I'd change it.
