Returning to the Fraktur idea.
Client: There’s a small detail we’d like you to work on: the bear’s ears! They really look like mouse ears to us :)
Designer: Maybe we can just make them smaller, so the proportions would be more bear-like? In real life, bear ears and mouse ears are quite similar in shape (slightly elongated). In our case I think the problem is in the overall Mickey Mouse style.
Client: Nope, these are still not the ears we need.
Designer: You can see the bear’s head in variants 5 and 7 as I think the problem is more with the head than the shape of the ears.
The client replies that they like number 7 the most. However, it seems that the ears have moved slightly back, while they should be closer to the head.
In number 1 the client liked that the bear and bull heads were drawn in equal detail.
Meanwhile, the type designer sends in the first letters.
Art director: Too Medieval, in my opinion. Look at the today’s logos.
Type designer: There you go.

Art director: Cool.
Although let’s discuss this hump.
