For my ‘Addingford’ logo for my Redbox show, I resisted the temptation to echo the Addingford Steps location by drawing 3D lettering chiselled from stone, like a Charlton Heston epic from the 1950s but I did feel that I needed something blocky so I’ve gone for what’s called an Egyptian-style hand-drawn font – one with squared-off serifs – and I felt that it should be slightly condensed.
The vermillion (Winsor & Newton ink) is a nod towards the telephone box setting of the show and intended as a colour contrast with all the green in the artwork. It also picks out, more or less, the colour of Joby’s pullover.
This is fabulous…. I would like to see it ….its of interest to me as I was born in Horbury….how long will it be on display ? I’ll have to plan my visit as I don’t live local ….thanks
Thanks, it’s on until September, so hope you get to see it. It may be a very small telephone box, but I put a lot of effort into it 🙂
Oh my you have for sure put alot of effort & time in it !…..and I intend to put the effort in to come and see it in person …I’ve not been able to come to Horbury due to the government restriction……thankyou for info
