Hey, i'm working on the dev of a small clothing brand. I'm formaly trained as an industrial designer, but wanted to give a try and challenge myself. It's a slighlty modified Bibliophile Script font, but the more i take a closer look to the heart integrated to the "B" the more it seems odd or a bit floating. What would be your advices ?

Thanks :)

You did your homework first of things like:
–Know where these letters will appear;
–What are the subtracts (paper, cotton, etc) where it will be printed;
– How they will be printed;
– What are the restrains of the printing method;
– What are the sizes that these letters will appear;
Right? Because I don't know if some of those lines would be printable in a clothing label.

That being said, I like the idea of the hearth a lot. I think the "floating" feeling is because it is after some curves that it is formed, try making it appear on the first curve after the line leaves the B (please tell me if you did not understand what I said that i will try to rephrase it).

Some people will help better than me, so wait for them.
You could also try to make a implicit hearth being formed by the silhouette of the B + its lines, something like pic related (pic related is shit, but it is just to show the idea). I still think your idea is better, but I think it is worth to try it.

If your plan is to put this on a menu or invitation you should be fine. But your in for a lot of pain if you plan to embroider this on some small scale fabric like a label. The thin and wispy lines would be utter hell to mass produce under an inch. Your best bet is printing and even then your designs durability is decreased due to your thin linework.

Your absolutely right. They are printable
(with the right machinery) but not cheap to make which means their less profitable to sell. Your bets bet is a tolerance of 0.3-0.6mm for your thinnest lines in embroidery or screen printing. My printers can get down to 0.03mm, but there are drawbacks. To even get the machines calibrated takes a couple days worth of time. As a printer I have easily charged similar luxury brands $285 for a single item at 0.03mm.

Clothing is a totally different ball game.

If I had to pick a poison, it would be bottom right or no 4 after you removed at least 3-6 loops. To put it into perspective: If you connected B and L you would save a jump cut, which saves approximately 1-3 seconds. If you print 34,000 at a 3 second loss you'd loose an entire day just because of a single stop command. Now imagine the time it takes to make option 2 (top right).

Thanks both of you for the comments regarding production, indeed we were wondering on how to approach that logo embroided on labels and at larger scale (on clothing/accesories).

Not knowing if it was feasable at first we were wondering if a variant / or maybe a more standard Sans Serif logo for the labels was necessary.

Thickness lines tolerance for embroidery you've mentionned are really insighfull as we haven't got info on that, as for now the finnest line we've got on the logo goes for 0.1mm on a logo scaled for a 20x60mm label.
Do you know if thoses 0.3mm are the width of the thread itself ? What would append if the logo would be sent to a manufacturer as it is now (taking top left logo as example)? Would it be only some details loss ? If that loss ain't too significant we might try to challenge some manufacturers and see if it suits us with samples. If no i think we will explore some more thickers options

>try making it appear on the first curve after the line leaves the B
That might be a way to might be a way to make a thicker logo, didn't thought of that one

Would love to have a feedback on the logo design itself too thanks for the review

How about putting the heart more centered, with the L?
