Name-dropping


I wouldn't say i'm a 'name-dropper' but I can't really write this post without name-dropping! brace yourselves lol...
well as you know, i edited a comic strip written by John Barrowman and his lovely sister Carole for the Torchwood Magazine recently (my day job), and during that time I also worked with legendary letterer John Workman (he works a lot with Walt Simonson and also lettered Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run). John and I have been chatting a lot, and he's a really cool chap with lots of anecdotes.
Anyway, to cut a long name-dropping story short, John, out of nowhere, offered to create a Spandex logo for me and he was good to his word and created what you can see here (well I coloured it in). Am still experimenting with it, different colours, different ideas, but here's a first look anyway...

Cool logo and great that John created it for you. I'd like to see some other tries at the coloring on it. Having each letter be a different color is good, but I'm curious if it might not looking more unique if you tried having all the colors go through the letter at the same time. Know what I mean? Just a suggestion though. :)

do you mean, each letter has all the rainbow colours in it?
i'm still experimenting. really. i could even just have a white logo with rainbow coloured-letters as the drop shadow. i am experimenting away!
