Random crap with Uno.

This is the place.

It breathes, it eats, and, at night, beneath a crawling ground fog with the luster of vaporized pearl, it dreams, dreams while tiny predators stage a nightmare ballet in sharp black grass. It is a living thing it has a soul, it has a face.

At night you can almost see it.

At night you can almost imagine what it might look like if the swamp were boiled down to its essence, and distilled into corporeal form; if all the muck, all the forgotten muskrat bones, and all the luscious decay would rise up and wade on two legs through the shallows; if the swamp had a spirit and that spirit walked like a man...

At night, you can almost imagine.

You can stare into those places where the evening has pooled beneath the distant trees, and glimpse an ambiguous shifting of the darkness, something large, large and slow, its movements solemn and inevitable, heavy with clotted, sodden weed that forms its flesh, its skeleton of tortured root creaks with each funereal pace, protesting at the damp and sullen weight, within their sockets its eyes float like blood-poppies in puddles of ink.

You can inhale through flared nostrils, drinking in its musk, green and pungent, there is the delicate scent of mosses and lichens adorning its flanks, there is the dry and acrid aftertaste of the pinmold that spreads across its shoulders, fanning out in a dull gray rash.

You can stand alone in the blind darkness and know that were you to raise your arm, reaching out to its full extremity, your fingernails would brush with something wet, something supple and resilient, something moving.

You shouldn't have come here.

...Just sayin'...

hm 4 posts eaten...attempting to raise my laptop from the dead.


the bottom half, while it dates back to my headhunter days is branding I rarely deviate from.  The Font was made specifically for me. 

Need to go looking for fonts.

The only other one I have that's close, also with different treatment.

Take 2

I'm not getting the horn, but better in every way.  Organic-ish, and I can read it.   The orange surrounding is a lot more orange.  It's good enough.


-My new avatar is a fallen angel, of course - if that makes you happy.  I reckon it creepy either way...

[Unorthodox]

The horn?

anyway, something a bit different before I go font shopping.

[Buster's Uncle]

Vulgar British slang for horny.

I don't think I like that take as well, but pretty much the same remarks.  Also good enough, if not as sublime as you are capable of.

[Unorthodox]

I'm heavily medicated.  passed out shortly after the attempt last night.  deathly allergy

[Buster's Uncle]

Been there.  Condolences.  Wash your face and hands a lot.  Physical exertion will make your nose run, but clear the sinuses - the body seems to forget it's throwing a hissy fit a fair bit when you're active.  For some reason, chewing honeycomb and vinegar/honey drinks help some.

You already know all this, of course...

[Unorthodox]

Ok, there's only one thing I don't like about this one, and I COULD fix, but it'd be a real pain in the ass to do, but I'll let you comment before I go into that.


And this is one of the rare cases I'd consider toning down the green on the logo.   

[Buster's Uncle]

It COULD be more legible, and it doesn't appear to be centered -I don't think straddling the "by" is worth messing up symmetry for, and it's a bit vertically cramped that way, too- but I think you're on to something.

[Unorthodox]

It didn't host right on the centering for whatever reason...

[Buster's Uncle]

I would go for a little more space under "Father".

[Unorthodox]

Wanted to revisit this font, I'm liking the treatment on the fonts now, so just gotta find the right one. 

[Buster's Uncle]

I think "Father" needs to be closer in brightness to "An Unorthodox Halloween".

[Unorthodox]

My eyes are hurting, gotta take a break for a minute. 

Second try at the "unquiet Spirits" font.
