Thank the good Lord above for Illustrator!

Type and logos can end up being a nightmare. Once you have your sketch or drawing traced with the pen tool, illustrator makes it easy to make any sort of variation from there. Making choices on what you like best now becomes simple. These were built from the Arial Black font and embelished with the thick graffiti style seriffs and connections. Now it has that hot new "street" look that the whole planet is on right now...
