Some time ago I remember someone designed an alternative icon for FontLab.
Where could I see it?

Thanks in advance.

Ramiro.

Pejot (Pawel Jonca) has been designing much of Fontlab Ltd.’s new corporate elements. This includes logos for our new product versions: http://www.pejot.com/logo/ and some product illustrations: http://www.pejot.com/ilustracje/

The new FontLab Studio icon will be included in FontLab Studio 5, of course :)

Regards,
Adam

Well, these look quite nice. The Transtype one is nifty to boot. :-)

The forums hate me. Boohoo. I’m not that much of a space cadet. There is a post in there, if you edit it.

What I said was:

Ramiro I think you are referring to this thread.

However, it looks like the FontLab guys have found a brilliant artist for the forthcoming icons.

Very nice.

It does bother me that the spline control points in the FontLab Studio icon are wrong. I think those could be fixed without detracting too much from the design of the icon.

It’s also a little disconcerting to see that the split-up pieces of the BitFonter logo contain partial pixels of the B glyph. The pieces should be split on exact pixel boundaries.

Finally, I’m confused as to the purpose of the r that exists in the negative space of the TransType logo. It seems to just clutter up the logo — probably more so in the smaller versions of the icon, such as the Windows-typical 32×32. It also doesn’t work at all with the upside-down T. I’d probably keep the two Ts and eliminate the r entirely.

Maybe they should have a font audit arrow in there somewhere. ;^D
