I guess somebody's gotta go first.

Any thoughts?

2nd

Another one.

I cannot upload TIF files. Here's a PNG:

Topophile

I’ve tried to include the „phile” in „typophile” ...

Design means: thinking comes first.

So when/where are we supposed to upload the .tif files? will they just ask the winners to do that after they pick from this thread?

Here is my T for typophile.

Another T-face for Typophile.

Another T-letters for Typophile.

Another T-letters for Typophile.

I’ll try it with four attempts.

One TYPOSMILE! Best regards from Macedonia!

helveticomma..

My T!

...es su T.

And yeah, uh...can't post a tif either. Am I being dumb?

formlos...wow. It took me a while to digest, but man...you win.

...unless, of course, they like mine better.

Excellent to see so many great submissions in less than a day! Keep them coming.

Sorry for the issues with TIF uploads. We might have overlooked the system's image prefs - we were too excited to post the battle.
Go ahead and upload PNGs for now, but keep in mind that we'll probably want to ask the "winners" to provide us with a TIF format later. So keep one handy if you can :)

Thanks all, great work!

It's really great formlos. Took me like a minute but then it really hit me. Great job!

Off to a great start. It's worth keeping in mind the primary use will be for the site, at 150 pixels square at 72 dpi.

romantic ?

ohhhh whoops the letter T, not a T

here is an updated, closer-cropped version of my design more suited to reduction to 150x150 px

There's a concept to mine. A logo with 49 different variations!
See it in action here: http://type.salsen.com/typophile/

Here's a preview:

On Your Own with Flowers

I really dig Koleslaw’s proposal. Great concept!

IMHO, it could even be more permissive:
The middle part doesn’t have to be fixed; it could also change to be waisted, or have a Tuscan thorn &c.

I like Koleslaw’s concept of different hats and boots.

formlos came strong, but koleslaw killed it!

Jan, doesn't that look a bit too much like the Typoart-Freunde logo?

Now that I’ve seen it ...

I like Paul’s first, Fernando’s negative space ones, and Pieter’s. There are some other nice ones but in some cases I wonder how they would look at a small size.

koleslaw’s concept is also my favourite. The versatility of its components is incredible. From cowboy to diva to king to jester with any little swap. I’d love to see a complete font of each variant!

However, here comes an evil one.

Design means: thinking comes first.

darn! i wish the mods were on the judging squad!

keeping in mind the popularity of the entries in the thread.

Better get it off your chest.

Yay, thanks for the positive comments. Florian, I decided to keep the middle stem constant to emulate the original Typophile logo blocks as well as to maintain continuity through all variations.

Only a minimal T, like a letterpunch by side.

@Phillip: transformers T's in disguise or ikea T... love it

Design means: There is love and passion in type

Bechira,
I like your last version. It conveys the old Bauhaus face, El Lizzitsky square, as well as the lowercase t.

ooops ... breaking rquirements

To grant a balance of forces, I finally had to add a counterpart to the evil.

Here’s the good one.

Design means: thinking comes first.

hello! this is my proposal....
