I think most who are familiar with myself and my pseudonym/brand/moniker "Nymphont" are also familiar with the "winged coffin" logo I use with the name. It is something that I really am quiet proud of though it brings me no accolades or prestige, but because it is very personal, and symbolizes me quite well. And I just like the design, and have a lot of fun using it. That said, it is deserving a bit more detail.
Here's a basic run-down on the logo I use for branding "Nymphont." Since Nymphont is me, the logo does have personal significance, the coffin with wings logo is actually inspired by a tattoo that I have on the back of my neck (photo below )
A coffin has a definitivly Gothic theme, so I chose a Gothic black-letter font for the lowercase 'n' inside the coffin, which of course represents Nymphont.
But I didn't choose any old black-letter. The letter 'n' used is actually from my unreleased black-letter typeface design called LT Libitina. So it is, totally unique to, and a perfect representation of,
Nymphont.Then for the lettering of the Nymphont wording itself, I used Avant Garde bold, Herb Lubalin's fantastic typeface.
The name Nymphont does have it's measure of shock value, and therefore needs no emphasis, so the emphasis is re-directed by the different coloring for the letters ' NYM ' and ' PHONT. ' The emphasis is on fonts.
This logo may not be copied or re-distributed in anyway shape or form please! This logo IS me. Appreciate all feedback.
