Skate 3

I had a short obsession with the Skate3 video game, which features the ability to create graphics and send them to the game to put on your character's clothing, skateboard, etc.  The graphics creator they use is terribly limiting, though, and they do not allow you to upload any files.  Obviously these aren't comprised of a typeface, but rather created through the use of combining simple shapes.  My name was Tit-E-Bishop - don't ask, it was a random idea? It definitely made for a funny game.  Despite all the drama surrounding my identity, I got a lot of compliments on our team's logo, so I thought I'd share it.

who doesn't need mosleep?

 

I like the subtlety of the bed, which is implied by an "m" with a short x-height atop a rectangle.  I like how mosleep is all one word; it's catchy and fun.  I haven't had any luck identifying the font used for this logo, but it is a square 90 degree angles throughout and is sans-serif.  I believe the type and pictorial element of the logo were probably developed at the same time, since they work together.  This word-mark serves an advertising purpose.  I came across this logo online, but do not have the website somewhere readily available.  I'll update when I find it.

Graffiti

work above by Peste, found in Graffiti Women Street Art From Five Continents by Nicholas Ganz

These pieces are incredibly visually interesting, while still remaining legible.  The color combinations utilized in each piece above are well thought out and successful.  I like the way the artist has made her name stand out by creating drop shadows and elements in both the foreground and background of the composition.  I would be curious to see what one of her designs would look like atop a non-painted wall.  I like how she's controlled most of the elements in the design including the background surface color, but I would also like to see what her work looks like with less control.
