A lot depends on position - if I'm a (decently mobile) QB, I'm not sure there's a better system than Meyer. If I'm a WR, I'd love to play for Holgorsen or Briles. If I'm a LB, I'd play for Saban. If I'm a DB, there's arguably nobody better than Beamer (only because of Foster, but still).
In general though, I'd choose to play for someone who can balance being a successful college coach and someone who prepares you for the NFL. My top 5 would probably be (in no real order): Harbaugh, Saban, Miles, Meyer, and... someone like Strong, Richt, or Fisher.

In all honesty, I don't see this team as much more than a 6-6, 7-5 sort of team. There's just too many question marks. No QB on the roster has shown anything resembling competency at the college level. WR is really weak without Funchess. The DL is average at best. Safety will likely be a problem.
If I had to bet, I'd go with 7-5. I'll say they lose Utah, MSU, Minnesota, PSU, and OSU.

|While I think Miles does have
While I think Miles does have the potential for a few 9-3, 10-2 type seasons, I also worry that he would end up hanging on longer than he should and starting the whole end-of-Carr-regime downturn again.
There really aren't many Plan A type guys out there once you get past Harbaugh who are reasonably attainable. Mullen and...? If they strike out on Harbaugh and Mullen, I don't think there's any sense in hiring a guy like Addazio or Schiano. Why hire a guy who is a know mediocre-at-best quantity (like we did with Hoke)? I'd actually be okay if the backup guy is PJ Fleck. I know his dedication to the "row the boat" thing is strange, but I think he'd bring a ton of energy and enthusiasm to the program. The fanbase in general might hate it, but I'd much rather take the (admittedly massive) risk with him than pull a Nebraska and hire a middling-at-best coach.

Now this is a recipe I can get behind.
Probably a stupid question (I'm a real newbie at proper cooking, but damnit I'm trying to learn to make delicious and relatively healthy food for the wife and I), but as far as the brining process goes, at what point do you put the turkey in the brine? I'm assuming you don't want to boil the bird, so these are things I need to learn still.
Also, since you seem to have a bit more experience than I do (this was my first year owning a smoker, so I've been sticking mainly to the brisket/pulled pork/ribs stuff since it's a bit easier), is there anything to be gained by injecting the turkey? I do this with my brisket and pulled pork, and they've turned out fantastic and juicy, but I'm not sure that you'd gain a lot here since the bird is hollow and you're already brining it overnight.

|I don't think either Harbaugh
I don't think either Harbaugh is a serious option, so I'm not going to bother ranking them. Miles isn't leaving LSU at this stage in his career. Gundy isn't leaving OkState, and we're not getting in a bidding war with T. Boone Pickens for him. My top 7 is thus:
1. Dan Mullen - I think this goes without saying. If he's willing to leave Starkville to come to Ann Arbor, whomever is the AD would be nuts to not make the move. The SEC Network money flowing in at the end of the season might push Miss St. into a position where they can match offers though.
2. Butch Jones - Local guy, recruits well, is showing signs of undoing some of the damage Kiffin and Dooley did to Tennessee.
3. Chad Morris - Innovative offensive mind, recruits well, though his deep ties to Texas and the south means he needs a good staff around him while he builds a local network.
4. Kirby Smart - Same as Morris, except on defense. Especially if he took a swing at Bob Stitt for the OC spot and gave him free reign (which might move him to 2 actually).
5. Ruffin McNeill - Probably not willing to leave the south, but he's done a bang-up job at ECU.
6. Beau Baldwin - FCS guy, but wildly successful at Eastern Washington.
7. Bob Stitt - As noted above, I'd rather have him as the OC with a defense-first head coach, but if all else fails.... goddamnit all I want is some exciting football. Give me 67-65 triple OT wins against Illinois over 18-13 shitfests against Penn State every day.

Brandon is gone the week after OSU, Hoke is gone before Christmas. I won't venture a guess on the identity of the new coach besides it won't be an exciting name (no Harbaugh, Miles, or Mullen).

|Rodriguez's staff in 2008
Rodriguez's staff in 2008 earned a total of $4.4 million. Hoke's staff in 2011 earned $5.81. Ignoring the head coaches (Rodriguez was making $2.5 million, Hoke was at $3.3 million), that's a $600k difference. Maybe the data I found is incorrect, but it looks like there was a significant pay bump for assistants under Hoke. And interestingly enough, when Shafer 'resigned', the total staff salary actually dropped $20k with the Robinson hire.
For Casteel, it was literally a $10k difference between what Michigan and WVU were offering. Yes, WVU was throwing in the contract that Michigan was (also stupidly) not offering, but $10k is NOTHING to a football program like Michigan. It was a stupid decision at the time, and looks even worse in retrospect.

I don't actually bet money on sports, but if I did, here's what I'd take (B1G games only):
Missouri (-13) - Indiana still can't figure out how to play defense.
Utah (+5) - I just don't feel confident in this team yet, especially on offense.
Pitt (-6.5) - Iowa might not actually score any points this weekend.
Minnesota (-8.5) - Not that Minnesota is actually any good, but that SJSU might be really, really bad.
Penn State (-26.5) - I don't think Penn State is going to have fun when they play anybody with a pulse, but UMass is awful.
Nebraska (-7) - The McNeese game was an aberration, and not an accurate reflection of Nebraska's ability.
Maryland (-1) - Eventually Maryland's passing game is going to start working, and why not this weekend?
MSU (-45.5) - I don't believe Dantonio for a second about not running up the score.
Illinois (-14) - I don't know anything about Texas State, so this is a wild guess.
Navy (-6) - Oh come on Gary Nova, 5 INTs against Penn State?
Wisconsin (-27) - BG is riding high after beating Indiana, but Wisconsin is an entirely different animal.

|Ugh, the Outback would be
Ugh, the Outback would be such a disappointing slot to end up in.
I actually would be surprised if one of MSU or OSU doesn't end up in the playoff. Oregon is a very flawed team, and I think MSU wins this weekend. OSU might struggle a bit against VT, since Bud Foster is great at toying with young QBs, but I don't see them losing to anyone in conference except maybe MSU. Really, in my opinion, the winner of the OSU-MSU game should be no worse than 11-1, and possibly 12-0, heading into the B1G title game against a weak West team.
Also, I can see Wisconsin dropping a few slots if McEvoy doesn't learn how to pass by the end of the season. As good as Gordon is, he'll be facing 9-man boxes quite a bit. Really opens up that division for Iowa and Nebraska to have shiny records, which only helps the perception of either OSU or MSU winning the championship game.

|Ugh, I predicted 9-4 last
Ugh, I predicted 9-4 last year, and comfortable wins over UConn and Akron. I did nail Gallon as 2nd in receiving in the conference behind Robinson (not that it was a difficult prognostication). Got reasonably close on Gardner going 3000 yards, 29 TDs, 13 INTs, 350 rushing, 8 TDs (he was 2960/21/11/483/11). Everything else was trash.
This year:
Nussmeier is good, certainly an upgrade over Borges, but not the godsend we are all hoping for. A simplified gameplan, and week-to-week consistency help everyone out, but the OL still has too many issues for this to be anything but an average-at-best offense.
Gardner is 2nd team All-B1G, finishing with 3100 yards passing and a 30/10 TD/INT split,and tacks on 400 rushing yards and 10 TDs.
Green and Smith split the vast majority of carries. Neither looks great, but both are serviceable. Green has 600 yards and 7 TDs (4.1 per carry), Smith has 500 yards and 5 TDs (4.2 per carry).
Funchess is a world beater. Despite drawing double (and occasionally triple) coverage on a routine basis, he is B1G WR of the year, bringing in 95 catches for 1450 yards and 13 TDs. Darboh uses those silly forearm muscles to take advantage of the single coverage offered by having Funchess opposite, making 45 catches for 700 yards and 6 TDs.
The OL is still bad, but they improve on a week-to-week basis, giving some hope for competency in 2015.
The defense plays well, but disappoints due to the sky-high expectations of the fan base. Clark leads the DL by registering 6.5 sacks. Ryan is back to his sophomore doom-bringing days, and brings nothing but chaos from the MLB spot, ending with 110 tackles, 15 for loss, and 5.5 sacks.
The secondary is the disappointment. Peppers plays well, but people cool down a bit on the Woodson comparisons for the time being. Countess ends up being the true #1 corner this year, with Lewis and Taylor splitting duties on the other side as neither separates himself. Wilson is fine at the free spot, but hopes of having an impact from the strong spot are dashed as both Thomas and Clark play, but are liabilities.
Wile and Hagerup are both solid; both contend for All-B1G honors at their positions. Norfleet and Peppers split the KR duties, but neither break one. Peppers has the higher return average. Norfleet returns punts, and does get a return TD there.
Schedule wise - Michigan takes advantage of a fairly weak schedule, and starts 6-0. Though the record is good, there are obvious red flags on the team, especially off uncomfortable wins over Minnesota and Rutgers to start the conference season. Penn State, emotionally charged in their first big test of the Franklin regime, spoil the night for the 105k Michigan fans in attendance. The bye week comes at a good time, as a number of guys are dinged up. Unfortunately this doesn't help in East Lansing, as the Spartans continue their run of success in the series.
Without Tre Roberson to threaten the defense with his legs, the Indiana game gets easier, especially since they still do not possess a defense. Northwestern struggles to replace Colter's production, and doesn't find a true replacement for Mark. Both games are reasonably comfortable wins for the good guys. Maryland's array of receivers is a struggle to contain, and Michigan gets caught looking ahead to Columbus. Diggs pulls his best Lockett impression to get the upset. Barrett has struggles early on in the season, but by the middle of November he's comfortable with the playbook and reminds viewers of the junior version of Troy Smith. The OSU DL abuses the still middling OL, and though the rest of the OSU defense is still full of issues, Columbus celebrates yet another victory. Michigan ends up 8-4 in the regular season, and ends up in the Gator Bowl. They play Texas A&M, and win the game as Gardner refuses to go out on a bad note. Final record of 9-4, Hoke gets another year, and we all prep for life after dual-threat QBs.

I remember when Phil Kessel was entering college with similar hype, but in a much better situation at Minnesota, with a lot of predictions of him winning the Hobey. He ended up with 51 points in 39 games, which was very good, but he wasn't even a finalist for the Hobey. I'd predict one of the Miami guys (Czarnik or Barber) will end up with the award, though there's always an outside chance a goalie, such as Wilcox or Hellebuyck, has a great season and swipes it.

Ollie might be too new to the scene, Brown and Fisher are too far removed from their titles, and Tubby Smith has been terrible since he left UK.

I have a projector setup (108") in my basement, and you absolutely want to get a high quality projector - 1080p or bust if you plan to watch movies or sports (I splurged for the Epson 8350 about 2.5 years ago when I bought my house, but there are cheaper options that would work reasonably well). And you need to not have ambient light, especially if you're looking at going cheap on the projector - I have blackout curtains for the lone set of windows that work really well.
I highly recommend projectors, since my entire setup (projector, screen, surround sound) was about $2k for what is effectively a very high quality 108" HDTV, and good luck finding one of those for that price. Plus it's great for hosting parties to watch sports/movies/shows, if you're into that kind of thing.

2. Greatest ever Masters performance is Tiger in 1997, but Sunday was a formality with no drama. These past two years with the playoff drama have been great, with some incredible shots (Bubba's 40 yard hook with a lob wedge, Cabrera's cold-blooded approach on 18 last year to force the playoff).
3. I'd like to see either Dustin or Rory win - probably Dustin with all the heartbreaks he's had, to pull through and win the big one would be nice. And Rory to atone for the atrocity that was his last 10 holes in 2011; he could have pulled a Tiger on everyone and just threw it all away.
4. I do think Rory pulls through and wins this week. Aside from Tiger, he's probably the most naturally talented player on the tour, and should be contending week in and week out. With two majors already in his pocket, he joins Phil in the "3/4 of the Career Grand Slam" club. And ignites some talk of him catching Tiger in career majors in the process.

There's a huge amount of power on the players' side; if they decide to strike en masse (unlikely, but theoretically possible), it won't be long until there are widespread changes to appease the players.

Very few athletes, especially those in revenue-generating sports, truly utilize the value of a scholarship, and many of those are not exactly on their own accord. Look at our very own coaches trying to steer Da'Shawn Hand away from engineering because they deemed it "too much work to balance school and football." Look down the roster and see how many of the basketball, football, and hockey players are doing things like "sports management" or "general studies".
And what about walk-ons? What if we're at the 85 scholarship limit and another Kovacs shows up. Now he's paying $40k as an out-of-state student for tuition and housing, playing football for a team that has a profit of more than $60 million a year.

I think, because of the endurance and athleticism required to pull off the moves they're required to do, it can be safely considered a "sport."
My issue with competitions that are "judged" is the lack of clarity when it comes to scoring. If the scoring was so clearly written out, I don't understand why sometimes the scoring has such a range to it amongst the judges. I also feel that reputation has far too much impact in the scoring. For example, in the men's half-pipe snowboarding, I thought Shaun White had a terrible second run in the finals, and still got higher than 90. He landed on the lip of the pipe twice, and while he didn't fall, I can't for the life of me figure out how that scored higher than some of the guys that hit the 80s without anything nearly as 'unappealing' to the average viewer. It just seemed like he got the benefit of the doubt since he is so widely considered the best snowboarder in the world.

Penn State's chances are going to rely very heavily on the arm of Hackenberg. If Franklin's staff has a dedicated QB coach who knows what he's doing, and with their two top 2014 guys being WRs, they could be a dangerous offense. The OL and the entire defense will be the great question marks, especially now that they're fully removed from Paterno's coaching regime with Vanderlinden and Johnson out. I can see them becoming like Indiana (give up a lot of points, but also score a lot) for the next 2-3 years while they rebuild the roster with 25+ man recruiting classes.
It's also going to be a relatively easy recruiting job for Franklin, as besides QB he'll have a lot of playing time to offer top level guys. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them reel in a top-5 or 10 class in 2015 and 2016.

I think he's a good hire, but I'm not certain he's the home run everyone's talking like he is. He's had good recruiting classes at Vanderbilt, but he's been able to play the "come play in the SEC" card right in the middle of the SEC's dominance in terms of national perception. He very well might be a good recruiter at Penn State, but it's not like O'Brien or Paterno weren't pulling in very well-respected classes either.
He's also not been challenged real hard, as the SEC East has been awful lately. The best SEC win in his tenure is Georgia this year, and Ole Miss last year is his only other win against an SEC team that went to a bowl game. So it remains to be seen if he can win big games.
I don't expect him to fail, but he's also not as terrifying as Urban Meyer going to OSU was. He'll be tough to recruit against, especially in PA and along the east coast, but I honestly have no idea how it will be on the field (his teams were never great statistically at Vanderbilt, and we also have no idea how successful Nussmeier will be). He's been pretty average in FEI (45, 43, 45 the past 3 years), and is basically average on offense and defense (ranging from 35-75 in offense and defense FEI during the same time).

From what I saw of Tannehill, I think mediocre is pretty accurate. Granted, he's young and fairly raw as a QB, so he could very well turn into something approaching good. But at this point, I haven't seen enough out of him to think he's a future long-term starter in Miami.

He may not be a complete unknown, but he also didn't play against much top competition. He's the best bet amongst QBs in this year's draft, but that doesn't mean he's any sort of guarantee.
Also, the bust rate hasn't exactly been stellar lately. The list of 1st round QBs recently:
2010 - Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow. Tebow is a joke and everyone knew it was a terrible pick. Bradford has been ok when healthy.
2011 - Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder. Newton is a very good QB, but the other three are anything but.
2012 - Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden. Tough call since they only just completed their second seasons, but Luck is 18th in passer rating, RGIII is 22nd, Tannehill is 24th, Weeden is 34th. Weeden looks bad, RGIII can't stay healthy, and Tannehill looks mediocre. Only Luck looks like a long-term starter in the NFL at this point.
2013 - EJ Manuel. Probably too young to tell at this point, but finished 29th in the NFL in passer rating on a pretty bad team.

Notre Dame doesn't really scare me that much. They'll be rebuilding a lot of their team (OL and DL specifically), and Golson was pretty mediocre two years ago.

Rutgers should be a win. Hoke hasn't been good on the road, but he has beaten bad teams like Northwestern and Minnesota in road games, and Rutgers is a pretty bad team.
Penn State I think should be a win, as they continue to suffer from the sanctions by lacking a signficant upperclass contingent. Plus, with it looking like O'Brien might be out the door, who knows what happens to the current roster or who they manage to hire.
I do agree that, as of right now, MSU and OSU are pretty likely losses, though if Braxton makes the (stupid) decision to go pro, things could get interesting on offense for OSU.
We *should* be 10-2 next year, and if it's anything less than 9-3 (barring significant injuries), I think it'd be time to seriously look at the future of the coaching staff.

So really, he wouldn't be sacrificing much by returning, especially considering many deals in the 4th round and beyond are negotiated to pay the player significantly less if they aren't on the 53-man roster, which Braxton may not make unless he makes big strides in preseason workouts on his passing skills (or makes a position switch without the on-field looks Denard had at the end of last season).

Some people might say Fox & Hound in Ross Township (about 15 minutes north of downtown, so feasability depends on where in Pittsburgh you're staying), but in my experience, it's more of a generic "there are a lot of TVs so you'll be able to watch the game" sort of place rather than a true Michigan-friendly establishment. I believe it's where the Pittsburgh alumni group tends to meet at.
If it's too far out of the way for you, any sports bar (and there are many) should be okay with the OSU and PSU games being at noon and Pitt at 7, as only WVU will have any measurable demand for viewers at the same time slot.

I don't know why it's "shocking" that we would be picked 3rd. Minnesota and Wisconsin are both tournament teams from last year. OSU, MSU, and PSU aren't going to be very good. I think we're right where we should be, especially since we're losing both Merrill and Trouba, and still have serious question marks in net.

|OSU QB situation
So with Guiton looking so good for OSU (yes bad opponents but he's still been fantastic), does Meyer ride him for the rest of the season and hope he can redshirt Miller and get two more years of (almost) guaranteed quarterback competency? I know I'd strongly consider it if I were in his position...

This has been used by Louisiana-Monroe on occasion this year. They have two QBs who, while not to the level of Denard or Devin, are respectable athletes like Morris who won't gash a defense but can churn out a few yards regularly. They even use one left-hander and one right-hander, and run zone-read concepts to get the appropriate-handed QB what is effectively a roll-out that options off a defender. Not sure how effective it is, and I don't think they use it too much, but it's certainly an interesting concept.

3. I don't think we're going to totally blow the doors off, as they'll leave something in the book for ND, but it'll be a comfortable 38-13 win. Tipton is a good RB and they'll have two or three frustratingly long drives, but only make it into the endzone once.

|1. Fiction - Braxton has the
1. Fiction - Braxton has the hype already, OSU will probably have a sterling record, and Gardner isn't going to be given a lot of chances to use his legs due to the depth chart.
2. Fiction - Gallon is the only proven WR, and I imagine Dileo will get plenty of time as a slot WR. Between Funchess and Dileo as the other non-Gallon options, I don't see a large number of passes heading out to Darboh and Chesson.
3. Fiction - Clark is really the only hope of a pass rush while Ryan is out, and I'd guess that he'll be the person the opposing teams try to neutralize up front. My guess for the top-5 in sacks in the conference are: Washington (OSU), Barnes (PSU), Kelly (UW), Scott (NW), and Hageman (Minnesota).
4. Fiction - Ross has an uphill battle against the likes of Borland, Shazier, Hull, Allen, Bullough, and Ariguzo. I think he's a better player than some of those guys, but remember that hype goes a long way, and there isn't much talk about Ross when it comes to the top linebackers in the conference right now, at least not from a national perspective.
5. Fact, but with caveats - I think we certainly have the talent and coaching to do it, but Gardner needs to stay healthy and we need Ryan back before November comes. We've got a tougher road than either Nebraska, MSU, or Northwestern have in that we have to play both OSU and PSU. We can't really afford to drop any intra-division games, especially to MSU or Nebraska, with those cupcake schedules they have.

3 wood is my old trusty TaylorMade R9 - I don't honestly use it enough to get anything new. Maybe one or two holes a round I use it off the tee and I hit my driver well enough to rarely end up in position to use it on approach shots.
As for the irons, I tried out some Mizunos at a fitting day and fell in love, so I bought some MP53 irons and T11 wedges. They feel amazing and have been surprisingly helpful to my iron game.
Putter is an Odyssey 2 ball white ice, which I bought because I love the feel of my putts off the face.

|I hope I'm wrong too. But I
I hope I'm wrong too. But I also think that our offense isn't going to be as good as people hope - I fear that Gardner will be similar to Denard in that he's turnover-prone, and that can cost us some important games. Plus the whole interior OL likely being RS-freshmen scares the shit out of me, especially after Toussaint's struggles last year and Green having just a few weeks to prepare for the season.
|1 year 39 weeks ago
|Gardner breaks the school
Gardner breaks the school record for TD passes in a single season (25, if I remember). He'll have 29 to go along with 13 INTs, and just barely crack 3000 yards. He'll make some hay on the ground, finishing with 350 yards and 8 TDs.
Green is the starting RB by the time mid-October rolls around. Toussaint will still struggle to create yards behind the inexperienced interior OL, and while Green isn't much better this first season, the staff gets him ready for big time duties next season. He finishes with 750 yards and 7 TDs at a 4.2 clip. Toussaint still gets plenty of snaps, but ends up at 600 yards and 4 TDs at a 4.0 clip.
Gallon benefits the most from a full season of Gardner, obviously, and finishes just behind Robinson in terms of the B1G receiving list. 1100 yards and 10 TDs gets him on the All-Big Ten first team at WR. Funchess doesn't score in bunches, much to our dismay. Gardner doesn't develop the necessary chemistry with him (and forces passes to other targets, resulting in the 13 INTs noted above). He finishes with a disappointing 350 yards and 2 TDs despite being hand-wavingly open on numerous occasions. Darboh has a great first season, with 700 yards and 6 TDs.
Lewan is an All-American but loses the Outland Trophy to Jake Matthews. Schofield is second-team All-B1G. Kalis is first-team All-B1G freshman and honorable mention overall. Miller and Braden are the other two interior OL, but struggle enough to reduce the effectiveness of the running game and force the passing game to score the points.
Clark brings it all together this year and provides the pass rush force we've been missing since Graham. The rest of the DL is adequate, but nothing special, and teams start neutralizing Clark as the year goes on. Ryan returns for the MSU game, but isn't as effective as he was last year due to the injury. Ross proves everyone right by dominating from his LB spot, but gets jobbed by higher-profile guys for All-B1G. Countess starts slow, giving up some things early, but as the season goes on gets more comfortable and is second-team All-B1G CB in the conference by season's end.
As for the team's performance: The CMU, Akron, Connecticut, Minnesota, Indiana, and Iowa games won't be particularly close. Notre Dame's defense forces a few turnovers as the running game does nothing, and spoils the night for everyone. PSU takes us to the wire, but a late turnover by PSU's QB seals the game for the good guys. MSU preps all season for Gardner and company, attacks the interior OL with repeated blitzes, and wins a close one; they also take advantage of the generous schedule to win the division. Nebraska struggles to move the ball on our defense, and without Bellomy we have some semblance of an offense, enough to win a close one. Northwestern doesn't get an on-fire Siemian like last year, and loses by a close, but comfortable, margin. OSU, like MSU, rides an easy schedule to a division title, and they prove just a bit too much for us to handle this year. 9-3 record, Capital One bowl against LSU (which we lose when their defense smothers us).

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi..I would like to know what you think about my personal logo???
Can't see the image...
here it is..
sorry about that...I had some problems :-)
Alex, when posting wait for the error message then go back to your posting. Go to topics and just like magic your posting will be there. As for your logo I like it but I question weither the A will be read as an A. I guess it depends on the context in which it is used.
I read 'alfx'
Alex -- are you
a) posting this for critique, with intentions of revising it?
b) done with it and looking for feedback?
A and E are extremely versatile letters,
both in uppercase and lowercase.
I would guess that if you played around with ALEX, alex, and Alex
I thank you all. I'll try do work on it more. The A I already changed a bit, but with the E it's seems a nightmare :-).
what if your A and E are the same shape?:...
something annoying about the noches, but perhaps something like that solves the ledgibility?
I've changed the A. I think it looks a little bit better this way. What do you think?
I like that a...but now because you have a real baseline - your E is definately and F
I haven't made any comments yet, but I have been following this critique. I'll have to agree with Darrel about reading Alfx. I think I'm finding the "E", but that's only because I'm looking for it as a design critic. Tanya's direction isn't a bad one to explore, although the "A" and "E" shapes aren't exactly the same. As she has illustrated it, the "l" and "E" would need to be pulled much closer together.
Have you looked into any other designs/concepts that you'd be willing to share?
nlfx thats a strange name. Try this make the top half of your letters black and screen back the rest of the letter forms 10% Black run behind your last name. That way you could show enough of the letterforms to read with out being forced.
I think the "a" form you have in your revision could make a much more e-like "e" than the one you have currently (rotated and flipped so the flat side is on the baseline and it opens to the right).
But you would have to take great care that it looks like an "e", and not f, c, or g.
I think the spacing on "Heilmair" could use some work as well; as it is, it gets very pale in the "eil" region, and "ma" is quite dark.
I thank you all for the great tips. When I was designing this type I had in mind something that made the eye follow the curves giving the hole logo a unity. It sounds kind of crazy, but I was looking for something different.
I did some new experiments, that I think look a little bit better. The big problem I'm having is that I dont whant it to look to heavy. Anyway I thank you all. :-)
one sugestion for you...
happy new year to every-tp
(sorry for my english)
5{is still a difficult read, but I think the "e" in #2 is finally more apparent to me. That "e" relates better to the "A" than does the "e" in #1.
Before you said you didn't want to make the logo heavy, I was going to suggest knocking the letterforms out of a black rectangle with "HEILMAIR" below. This would allow you to return to the simple shapes of your original design
I like the new versions Alex but Alvaro's idea is very fresh and works with the other letter forms and best of all it reads.
Alvaro's ideia is really good, the problem is that the logo loses an important concept.
I used this oval shape to give the logo a stronger unity.
Alvaro's A could flip horizontally to retain your domed alignment.

From designer clothes to cool accessories for men and women, the boutique is a true reflection of who they are: Free-spirited, surfing lovers, cool and generous human beings who love to travel. Their apartment is in the same spirit.

Lala Anthony hit the streets of Beverly Hills to shop it up with besties Po and Dice in black ankle strap sandals, cat eye sunglasses, and a $215 Thatcher Minimalist Body con Dress in Lunette Sketch:
The nylon/spandex blend dress measures 35″ and has shoulder pad accents.
Love it!
If you do, too, get her look here:
Hot! or Hmm…?
*If the dress looks familiar, Evelyn Lozada wore the same frock in a jungle stripe print to sign copies of her book, The Inner Circle.
Which print do you prefer? Get the deets on Evelyn's look here.
Is Lala gay? Her best friends are. And you know birds of a feather…
No, she's not
Lala is MARRIED with a CHILD. Maybe she's known them forever and knows she can trust them, "gay" or not!
Does it matter if she is?
"Is Lala gay? Her best friends are. And you know birds of a feather…"
Really? How is that relevant?
Anyway, love the dress but La didn't do it any justice.
I like the dress better on Evelen. The print looks better as well.
I like Lala's dress better.
No body, no shape, no curves, im getting tired of her all she does is splash her hubbys money.. what does she do again? she should be partaking in the housewives series srsly.
She might be gay..but who cares..The dress looks great on both of them… but Ev with her messy self pulled it off well with the shoes..
'No body, no shape, no curves…' Are we looking at the same person? lol
I think Lala looks great. I like Evelyn's print better though
i need to know where Po got those boots from!!!!!!
I love la la's shoes…if only they were cheaper
love po's shoes as well
"No body, no shape, no curves…' Are we looking at the same person? lol"
I want to know who she is looking at too.. And how old she? lol
wow you sound so bitter.lala had her own money before she got with carmelo.there nothing wrong with marrying up.most of these woman that have rich successful husband,were already successful in their own field.some of you women need to take notes,instead of complaining about where the next chick get her checks from.
Hated it!
I recently purchased the Lozada version of this dress from NM. Think I like the darker version better. I must admit this looks nice on LaLa. Usually I have issues with the fit of her clothes.
Love those dresses, espcially evelyn's!
Lol at these comments. I like Evelyn's dress better.
I guess I'm in the minority but I like LaLa's dress better. I will admit I do like the color of Evelyn's dress but, to me, the way LaLa wore her dress with the shoes and purse to match looked better. I think the dress looked cheap on Evelyn.
Evelyn's version is definitely better.
Sidebar: Lala's skinny legs and arms and large butt and boobs always throw me off…
I like both dresses, but am perhaps more partial to Evelyn's print.
@Uknow, I wasn't aware that heterosexual people could only have heterosexual friends #sideeye
I like it better on Lala
Lala "plays both team" (like a lot of celebs and stars in the industry). :) But should it matter what her sexual preferences are? She looks nice in the dress, but I don't like the tatotos.
Love the look but exactly where is she going? Po & Dice look like theyre strolling during a shopping trip & she looks like shes dressing for the cameras.
Who makes the brown boots po is wearing I love them!!??
Lala looks gorgeous and rich.
The shoulder pads are inconspicuous, perhaps because of the print. Nice look
They both look great in the dress. I think i prefer Ev's outfit better just because I love the green shoes w/ it.
I think because of the print and shoulder pads, a more slender figure pulls the dress off best. Thus I'm going with the model's over both Ev and La's looks. Hot dress though
She's a presenter, has her own business, has acted on Broadway, and is acting a film. What do you do? I'm tired of people with basic 9-5 jobs asking that silly question. For the same reason that you wouldn't question the worth of a entrepreneur making 7 figures who you meet on the streets, you shouldn't do the same with celebs.
get it lala!
lmao at the comments…la la and evelyn fill this dress out nicely. I like the dress. Does nothing for the model
@makeeasweet I agree with you 100%
These haters seriously crack me up, SMH its ridic!
