Kinda boring. Almost retro in it's simplicity but not quite. And I don't think the slab serif font is the right feel.

can't disagree more with gthobbs, i really like this, the font seems perfect to me.

I agree with gthobbs, I think the thicks and thins of the graphic need to be more uniform and a different type treatment would be interesting.

Hi sparksmemphis,%0D*%0D*A couple of type issues... firstly, that the double spacing in %22State Fair%22 looks unnatural when juxtaposed against the %22Rocky Mountain%22 in the same font. Secondly, blowing up the %22N%22 in %22Mountain%22 may add to the symmetry but really it confuses the mind by drawing attention to a somewhat irrelevant letter...%0D*%0D*Overall I had a feeling that it was too wide, so I just quickly did a paste-together of a slimmer version in which the shadows were also a bit more obvious. Minor changes and not the answer but I think they can provide fodder for discussion:%0D*%0D*%3Ca href%3D%22http://metaeducation.com/logopond/rockymountain_draft_2_2.png%22%3Erockymountain_draft_2_2.png%3C/a%3E%0D*%0D*Regards,%0D*met%26aelig%3Bducation

Thanks for the comments all. *The crits help. I threw it together in one day and it was my 2nd draft. **@ metaeducation *I see what you mean in comparison to your example. Makes sense. I wasn't a fan of the double space either but I was having trouble getting the letters spaced right with out over powering the rocky mountain and it still looking like 2 words. *your example gave me a good idea and I'm going to take another stab at it. Thanks for taking the time to recreate it! Not something most people would care to do and it helps. I appreciate it!
