Some time ago, at one of our meetings, the group thought we
should have a logo to “brand” our shows. This would take the form of a fiber
piece bearing the letters F I N E. After some discussion, we planned a wall
piece in the form of a quilt. I made some sketches which we looked at and then
I went on to make the piece.
I wasn’t very happy with result, which as you see was 4
squares alternating back and white fabric. No one else was satisfied; the design was too
severe, rather old fashioned. Now I am in the process of trying again, aiming
for a design with less classic lettering, keeping the black and white which has
the effect of carrying power: it needs to be seen across the room.
This is a project for a typographer, not a fiber artist. The
pictures show the present quandary, the last of which is in paper. Suggestions
welcome. Upper case? Lower case? Serifs
? Color?
