Duly Quoted


Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.

-- Rolande Barthes

Logos from Letters

tc logoBefore&After has a pretty good summary of how to make a logo by interlocking, overlaying, or otherwise connecting letters. Though basic, it can be useful as a reminder of some of the possible approaches.

I’ve used the cross and orb logo composed of my initials, shown at left, for many years. The cross and orb was a traditional mark of printers in Europe during the early Renaissance. You can see another example, from the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, here. You can also get a glimpse of a larger version of my mark here.
