MonsieurMonkey Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 On the page as a whole, you use the triple full stop too much for me... It might just be me, but I ain't too keen on it being all over the place. I just think it's bad English though so I guess that might be why.

Matthew62 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 J-Yeah! The last one is much more in line with what i was thinking...the idea of connection and the hugging character all work....the two F's need a little playing with though to create a piece of pure harmony. We shall set to work tomorrow evening and then we can make sure you have the logos set in all the correct formats for web use and both digital and litho print. Also you can raid my typeface library and encyclopedia to see if there are any other faces which might work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Coming from a completely non-design based viewpoint, having the subtext looks sweet but leave the tail of the 'y' a little out of line or something. Is there any way to tweak things so that fits together nicely too? Might be a bit of a bitch I guess? Edit; Megaquick cut/warp/paste job to explain what the f**k I'm actually on about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Matt - Cheers, glad it's one which needs tweaking rather than it being shite. I'll give you a shout about tomorrow night sometime in the very near future Luke - Totally right, I'll make sure that's one of the changes. Thanks for all the thoughts guys, it's definitely helped without me needing to go too far from what my whole ethos of doing the business myself is. Over and out.

Luke Rainbird Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Really quick play with realigning some shit on the site and tweaking a few bits.

Matthew62 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well as far as i'm aware you and I have never lived together? Sillyness aside - i presume you're a more than a little excited for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 True, although I've never seen you and Nick (my old housemate) in the same room, and he does now live in London, so you never know... Yeah - looking forward to the new album for sure. Thinking of postponing my birthday for a week so someone can get me it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 You should most definetly do that. I think i'm going to need it on 180gram Vinyl as well. The snippets from that video sound soo good. He's one musician who seems to genuinely get better with age. I thought Orphans was fantastic, but he just never fails to impress. Have you got an albumn you hold in particularly high regard? (I'm not going to use the word favourite). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Although I agree with you that he definitley gets better with age, Closing Time is my firm favourite. I like Bone Machine a lot and Nighthawks gets regular plays as well, if that counts? I've not actually listened to Orphans that much, and I don't own a copy - need to get hold of that I reckon!

Matthew62 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Bone Machine stands out for me. and when in a sombre mood there's not much better than Closing Time - also it was the first album i bought of his so always holds a certain special place for me. Orphans: pre-birthday. Bad as Me: post-birthday sounds like a very good idea to me. Orphans just has a bit of everything you like about him and there's some really interesting cover on there. My girlfriends Bro was lucky enough to see him play on his last tour which i've always been quite annoyed by, so i'm hoping to go along if there's a Bad as Me tour.

Ben Swales Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've heard Orphans before, but not given it a 'proper' listen. That sounds like a good plan though - I'll put it into action this evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webber Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 That fifty6 logo is looking nice and clean, I like it. On the subject of logo design. Was visiting the girlfriends family in Cheshire and one of her uncles talked about started his own furniture business (He does it at the moment but doesn't have an identity or anything) So I offered to have a go at doing him a logo. He said how he wanted to aim it a bit upper-class as its the kind of people he usually works with and he thinks his work is of that standard. Now i'd not really designed anything for that kind of look before but gave it a bash anyway. I know its simply a typographic logo and there's not much to it but I like it. What do you guys think?

Pashley26 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Sorry JD(og).. Sorry to butt in here, but my nickname has been Jdog for potentially the last 6 years and I've got limited use rights on it. Rainbird is my manager and will arrange royalties if you would like the continued use of the name. (I also hold rights to Jpigs however this is purely for sexual reasons) JD, making money out of social networking in a promotional and advertising sense the way you are is simply genius. I know there are companies who specialize in that however so many business don't know how great a marketing tool it is and in my opinion would jump on that if the price was right. Good on you if you are going to be going forwards with that and good luck getting it out there.

I hope it works out, if it's been going for 4 years it's got to be quite successful. I did the sorts of things you do personally at the Specialized Concept Store I worked at and was amazed at the responses I got just by posting new bikes on Facebook and inviting other cycling clubs/influential cyclists in the local area to look at the products and comment on them. It kind of opened up a new type of business, with people coming in JUST to see the bikes they had seen on Fb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
