"Real" ERA Badges

[Gunner]

Aiight. (Sorry, I've been watching The Wire too much lately.) I'm thinking these are something real close to final. There are some issues with how the outer edge should work - Buzz showed some alternatives earlier on. These are for a solid outer ring that's the same color as the letters. But I think the shapes are done.



A little bit of tweaking to balance the letterforms, maybe. but tiny tweaks from here.

Gunner, I think your initial instincts were bang on re: "smooshing" the letters together like that. It does look a bit too flower-power and it isn't really necessary IMO.

Here are a couple more variants with a bit more of an edge to the shapes, along with some more 427 side emblems.

You remind me of so many of my clients.

But yeah, you're right. With the evolved changes (balancing the strokes and curves, straightening out the center elements) pulling the A back out to a standalone form really does it. Okay, THIS is final... ish.

(Graphic Arts Rule #5: never put FINAL in any file title.) EDIT: Because you'll upload tweaked versions 5 minutes later.
