Official LWDS logo thread
Re: Official LWDS logo thread
I'm going to chime in, even though I have no skin in the game (not a dive watch fan, so won't be buying).
But that spacing isn't pleasing to me.
I would suggest the following instead:
ManOnTime
Always compliant
Not sure the HUSIABH is necessary, but again, not a target for this project.

Off-center would drive me nuts, but would be a good nod to Seiko's alignment issues.Sussa wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 4:19 pm Starting to put this on a straight-on dial to get a better feel for size and alignment. I know there was consensus on "always MoT compliant," but does that change when you see that MoT is off center or is everyone still good?

I think we'll need to come up with something where the text is centered.

Yep, the off center MoT bugs me. Trying to think of solutions.Sussa wrote:Starting to put this on a straight-on dial to get a better feel for size and alignment. I know there was consensus on "always MoT compliant," but does that change when you see that MoT is off center or is everyone still good?
Can you ever so slightly space the letters in always to make up for the difference? Or would that look weird?
Other, more symmetrical options:
Every Day compliant
Perfectly compliant
Perpetual compliance
Instantly compliant

Also can scale up the size of the always. While it will look strange in these up close renders, would probably be unnoticeable at scale and when cased.

Gents, great community project. I have no skin in the game either, but my unsolicited advice is to dump compliance, center MoT and center "always" above or below.

Re: Official LWDS logo thread
Option-o-rama coming up as I play around with the text:
Yes, I can add space between letters to make the "always" side wider, but it needs a lot of extra space. I can also try a different typeface, one with lots of options for weight and width. Working that magic, we get this: Stacked with no HUISABH: Stacked with no HUISABH v2: Perpetual and Perfectly are both closer in length to compliance/compliant:

I'm really liking the stacked Always MoT Compliant.

Re: Official LWDS logo thread
I'm partial to the ManOnTime with Always Compliant below.
Re: Official LWDS logo thread
I think I might be with you here. I also like theStretch44 wrote:I'm partial to the ManOnTime with Always Compliant below.
perpetual MoT compliance
HUISABH
(Edit: if the perpetual could be slightly spaced in order to center the MoT)
Thanks again Sussa, you are a champ! I really appreciate all the work you are doing here, truly spectacular!

Perpetual was my second, especially if the spacing can be worked out.Dub Rubb wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 4:05 pmI think I might be with you here. I also like theStretch44 wrote:I'm partial to the ManOnTime with Always Compliant below.

Awesome work, [mention]Sussa[/mention]! I like were you all are going with this and you can count me in.
Re: Official LWDS logo thread
Because of all the work put in, I also think a small "Sussa made" where swiss made would be right above the minute track at 6:00 could be a nice touch.

Re: Official LWDS logo thread
Now I only want one if it says "Sussa Made." That really would be a cool touch!
