This is another use of letterforms to create a piece of art. The figure is composed entirely of symbols. This was one of a series of ads. I found this ad intriguing. The figure of the man appears rather airy, as if a a slight breeze would blow him away. And he doesn't appear to have a shadow but the solid black hat does. I cannot identify the font but the purpose is advertising.

Morpheus Music

I found this logo successfully incorporated music notes into the design without being obvious. Very subtley, the designer incorporated two vital elements of this company's identity into one symbol. If you look closely, you can see the letter M and music notes entwined, showing how Morpheus is synonymous with music. The overall design is intriguing and entices the viewer to look closer to figure out why. The font is Weiss and is used to create an identity.

Helping Hands

Resource Link, Eric Sena, logo

I liked the concept of people helping people in the figures over the type, with the last figure placing the dot on the word Link. The flow of the bright red squares pulls your eye in and leads you down the line of type. The boldness of Link serves as an exclamation. The font used is Helvetica Neue and it serves the purpose of identity.
