Custom monograms!

In the digital world we live in today, custom can mean different things to different people. To us, it rings in the truest sense of the meaning. So often I see monograms that are really just typefaces thrown together. They are still beautiful, but not custom in the sense of one-of-a-kind.

We have on staff a master calligraphy artist, that brings hand crafted artisan workmanship and perspective that is the epitome of custom. A calligraphy artist goes a step beyond the hand lettering, it truly is an art form in and of itself.

As a vector player, sometimes even I forget the amount of time required to achieve a master's mark by hand. This series was just submitted for an LD monogram and shows the versatility we can provide. Like any icon, I believe it has to work in black and white before you can introduce color. I'm old school that way. We will be introducing our master calligraphy artist in an upcoming post!
