So I was able to send her some sketches etc straight back! The time different is quite convenient. Here is my email back:
'Hello again Carrie :D
I took note of what you said, and have come up with more sketches for you to review. The reason I haven't jumped on it digitally yet, is its not as easy to edit it on the computer as it is to tweak a sketch.
Okay, so you said you wanted to see all styles so here's the kind of style I did for the vine thing I have on my website:
And here is the regal-type design.
After doing these, I thought that the regal type one was too stuffy and old fashioned rather than vintage, and the swirly one was lacking something ... y'know? So, I decided to combine the two! Let me know what you think:
I can't decide between a pointy 'w' and a curvy 'w' lol:
I'm also having a look at the drop-cap type icon. The main problem I am having is the birds and ribbons thing, but I'll work it out:
If you like any of the 'wedding' part of the designs, I can get started on properly digitising it.
Hope you are good! And I know, wild Friday night, ey?
Sarah'
To which she replied:
'Hi Sarah,
These look great!
I think I prefer the curvy W, and my very favorite is the first "combined" design you did (though I understand you'll need to get some more swashes in there for the birds to pull!). Perhaps there is a way to style "The Disney" and "Podcast" in a typeface with a strong serif that draws the eye along as if there are lines above and below, without actually putting lines above and below.
I also love both of the dropcap icons. I worry that the birds will not read at small sizes, but I love them so much! Perhaps I could use one with them and one without, depending on the situation.
I'm so happy with the direction these are going!
Cheers,
Carrie'
