Which font do you prefer?

[Colonel Ronan]

Which fonts (1-7) do you like?

Victoria Concordia Crescit means "victory comes from harmony" in Latin. It is Arsenal FC's motto and I'm planning on getting this as a tattoo on my left pec or back.

This isn't a thread to deter me from getting a tattoo so don't bother.

[Colonel Ronan]

Bump because you guys are mean.

I think #7's the best one. The others are kind of scroll-y and feminine. Fine if you're tattooing your wife's name or something, but not proclaiming fanhood for a mighty (or not) sports team.

My $0.02.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I like #3. The others, especially #7, are really boring.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

After #3, I like #2

I was thinking the same exact thing. The others look like they could be fonts for wedding invitations. The V on 7 looks weird but besides hat go for it

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Good points. I'm looking at more.

 

[Buzz Killington]

all of them suck. #7 is the only one that isn't a girl's font.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

By the way, it isn't supposed to be "manly" font -- It's supposed to be script.

 

[Buzz Killington]

Yeah, all the cursive ones will make it look like you're dedicating to some chick named Victoria Crescit

 

[Minstrel]

I like 2 the best. Graceful without being overly ornate. 4 is also good, for the same reason.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

If you plan on using them around here- don't bother. They're mostly cursive and very few of us will be able to read them.

 

[Mamba]

3 or 5.

 

[Boob-No-More]

By the way, it isn't supposed to be "manly" font -- It's supposed to be script.

Why? To make it harder to read? The font on the team seal isn't script. Why not go with something a little more authentic - that also happens to be readable.

Why not get what he prefers, since it is going on his body? Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

 

[THE HCP]

Is that like some sort of volleyball team or something?

 

[THE HCP]

#7!

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

2 fo sho

 

[Buzz Killington]

why not just the original font in the ribbon?

 

[J~Rush]

2. But what any of us thinks should have no affect on your decision.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

You should get this whole thing!

 

[Colonel Ronan]

By the way, you will be able to read this no matter what font I choose. It will be curved across the top of my upper back and the text will be thicker.

Yeah, two and three are my choices so far.

I don't get it.

LMAO!

3 or 5.

I'm likin' the 3.

I don't want to use the font on the crest because I don't like that style of font. I want something that looks more original instead of a generic font on my fact.

If you really have an issue reading it, then that is definitely a personal issue as I can make out every letter in one through seven.

I don't know if you're actually giving me constructive criticism or just being your usual self.

#7!

Haha, bastard.

why not just the original font in the ribbon?

It won't, but it will be nice to see what you guys think.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Or:

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Or:

4

it looks kinda ***gy

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Or:

3 looks sick

Well, if it were me I'd go with more than just a font. The point of emphasis seems to be "harmony" in the slogan, so I'd focus on that. The symbol most frequently associated with the term "harmony" is the circle (which coincidentally is the shape of a soccer ball.)

I dummied up a few quick ideas. See attached.

That's a great idea! I like the forth one. I wouldn't know where I would place the other drafts but I really like the ideas.

I'm going to think about this "harmony" idea and see what else I can come up with. Thanks again!

The 3rd and 2nd from last look the best to me

From the first set? Those are my favorites too.
