Exploring fonts

I have been looking at a few simple but vintage looking fonts in my quest to create a logo for 8 and a half acre farms. I have found myself leaning toward the thin deco fonts with one exception of trying out Arnold Boecklin. That is a direction I know I don't want to go. I am finding that I want to use Lady Renee(not shown), but I might be forcing it. Old Fashion Farm with a little of Martha simplicity is what I am hoping to achieve. We will see if I can be successful or not. I am going to turn to my sketchbook and draw up some simple vegetable and farm drawings and work a few patterns together with a color study next. Maybe I will take vintage further back to victorian...

announcing 8 and a half acre farm!

So I am in a lul and looking for some creative work. I decided to take my gardening experience, and soon to be chicken owner experience and form a logo to place on a blog. I have been researching vintage food labels and vintage type along with buying this really cool vintage type book (New Vintage Type classic fonts for the digital age by steven heller and gail anderson). I came up with the name "8 and a half acre farm" Our plot of land is 8.5 acres and I like how snappy it sounds. So on forth to the creation of our logo!! Font exploration first. Check back to see the progress and how it turns out.
