Naked is still working with his designer to tweak the T's but would like to know what you think of this font. Too much? Just enough? Let's get into this. Also, it goes without saying but we'll do so anyway that after the shirts we'll be doing mugs, mousepads and, if you play your cards right, fleeces.

make it look more abstract - like the Citigroup Arc! That way we can wear the golf shirts into the office.
Posted by NakedShort , Aug 19, 2009 10:51AM
@4 thats what I was worried about. Unfortunately Zazzle doesnt offer a font that looks like cum spatter; you are seeing the best avalible option if thats the look we want to go after.

I'm with 4. the original font felt like it might actually be used in the logo of a firm; this is trying to hard to play up a joke that the illustration has already done perfectly well.
Also Bess, can we please please send one complimentary shirt to:

Font is silly. It should look real. Also, can Hand and Bridge be different colors?

Times New Roman or Arial def

@16 No. Its one font/one color for each line of text.

I totally agree with @10. I want to potentially completely fool some people. This font is too much.
Posted by guest , Aug 19, 2009 10:58AM
Bess, you see so many "here is our performance" letters/mea culpas from hedge fund. How about choosing 4 or 5 and making it a poll?
Maybe, make it between Tudor's font, SAC's, AQR's, Einhorn's, and whatever font Sam Israel was using on his business card?

original font was much better- much more subtle....

I think the T's are still a bit large. Think skeeters for the use of the handbridge.
Posted by guest , Aug 19, 2009 11:01AM
I think the hands should look less red-lacquered, more stylized, so it looks like it could be real: more along the lines of:

I think you should go with a font that a legitimate company would use. (Otherwise, the "capital partners" bit serves no purpose.) The font above makes it look like a shirt you'd buy at Spencer Gifts.

Also, single color font. Subtle yellow/gold would be perfect.

I agree that the logo should be a bit more stylized. Perhaps looking at the designs of Santiago Calatrava will inspire a more abstract version of the design.

I think the perspective is wrong on the logo, maybe it needs to be more stylized and subtle. That thing is like hitting the viewer over the head with a hammer.
Sorry. I do think it's hilarious and I like version 1.2 best so far, but that logo needs to be completely reworked.
