That's very cool, Dejo. Did you design that?

Not really. It's heavily based on the Infernal hardcover dustjacket. I scanned it in and then went to town on it in Photoshop. Still a little sloppy in spots. It's just a prototype, but it gets the point across. If it were to progress any further it would need some cleaning up or reworking...

Well, I really like the W.W.J.D lettering and the whole color scheme, even if it is prototype. Smile

I like it a lot also. My only critique is that the letters and periods of W.W.J.D. seem to be spaced to far appart, especially the Ws.

That would look GREAT on a solid black coffee mug.

Is this a little better?

And yeah, it would look nice on a black T-shirt too.

Honestly, I think it looks worse. The main problem, in my view, is between the Ws due to the extra perceived space because of the slant of the letter.

Have you tried it without the periods?

Or maybe move the periods closer to the letters while leaving the line itself spaced across the whole image?

Not matter what it finally looks like, sign me up for one!

As suggested by jimbow8, without periods:

Comments: Still not great. I think the problem lies in the fact that "WWJD?" doesn't really have enough characters to nicely span the space.

As suggested by webby, with periods closer to letters:

Comments: Periods not as close to letters as I'd like. My kerning skillz are not that mad.
