Font to complement logo

Jayomatic

I’m looking for a family to go along with this logo.

I’m using Burin Sans for the logo and i’m looking for a font which would complement it .

Any suggestions?

Logo

For reading print text, ad text, heads? Corp ID? Clothing labels? Skywriting? Web?

That’s a logo?

Those are 2 different ones. It is a clothing line, one is male and the other is female.

Not sure how to treat the final logo yet in regards to showing both together but what i’ve got is a start.

I’m just looking for something to go along with it for any marketing material. Could be a brochure, website, tags. etc.

Jason,

Due to the short brief it’s hard to tell your needs. Anyway have a look at MRF and see
if you find anything approprate?

That’s “complement”, not “compliment”.

LOL - I considered pointing that out, Nick, but held my tongue... let’s say grammatical/spelling pedantry hasn’t gained me friends!
(Guess one could use any ol’ font to write “You’re a nice logo aren’t you?”, huh?)

Sorry to be an obnoxious pedant (it comes naturally I’m afraid), and I wouldn’t have if Jason had been the only one to make the mistake, but it happens quite often at Typophile so I thought it was time to say something. Your turn next Dave.

In answer to the question, not a lot of extended faces out there, but I believe that Zuzana Licko has made quite a few, so check out the Emigre catalog.

The edit option does make for non-sequiturs.

I can’t seem to see or access the logo. Is that link still valid?

Yeah. seems to work for me still.

haha. sorry for the typo. I don’t mind. My grammar and spelling skills aren’t the greatest.

Also, do you guys think I might run into any trouble with the logo in such a light version? Should i find something a bit thicker?

Can someone post it so I can see it?

Definite problem for embroidered tags, but without knowing the intended sizes it’s difficult to tell.

Jay-o,

“Also, do you guys think I might run into any trouble with the logo in such a light version?
Yes.

“Should i find something a bit thicker?”
If the client is already sold, then sell them a 2nd version for small use. that one would be thicker, and then they can use it for other things too.


Bear in mind that the resolution of embroidered labels is quite low, around 110 tph (threads per inch) horizontally, and strangely variable in the other direction. So unless your lettering is specifically “pixelized” (see “TORONTO”), fine type will get the jaggies.
