Metal logo algorithm

  1. Draw a symmetrically-mirrored version of word
  2. Try to average letter morphology such that there is approximate bilateral symmetry while still creating recognizable letters
  3. Now that the rough shape is in order, work on the line quality of each letter
  4. Create “hairs” that roughly follow the same orientation (imagine a vector field)

Result: drew this for @anarchogoth to put in her store, incorporating her request for brand “A” elements
