furry process

the process for my furry letters.

right now the "A" and "B" are cut out with a razorblade, and careful not to cut through more than just the bottom, the "C" is cut with scissors. I was looking for a little feed back as to which one would be more effective.

click me!

as it stands the A and B represent fur more and is a little abstract.

the C more closely represents the original font.

both have merit, but i am leaning towards the cutting method used for the A and B.

let me know your thoughts!

kind of like my typeface..

I saw these Nike shirts online and they kind of remind me of the 'typeface' I am creating. Its part of a series called the Nike Hair-itage MLB t-shirts.
