77k aka my amateur attempt at design

letter 7 and k

i read today that the letter k has 3 “7” in it. i didn’t see a third one but really wanted to make this image.

now, damnit, i wish i had somewhere to use it!

  1. i see three 7’s! there’s an upside-down one at the top, a diagonal one on the right, and a sideways one at the bottom. you made a nice K. it’s a good start to my name :P

  2. I can count up to nine 7s in this version. 11 if we really push it. I think it looks good. At first, the darker 7s look like just an emboss, but they jump out upon full view. My only crit would be to make the serif in the lower right leg bigger. Its much smaller than the serifs that the other 3 legs are sporting.

    TRIVIAL INFO TIME: While its not widely accepted, the history of serifs (the little legs that extend from a letter) date back to the roman times. Back then, text was brushed first, and then carved. I do wonder though…..why couldnt they use masking?

    You can use that K for your last name, though.

  3. ooh, kevin, that’sright!
    when you are 77 i will give you this as your birthday card ;D

    anddiny,i could use it for mylast name but isn’t ittoo busy and weirdto just pop the ‘k’ andnot the intials? especially without any reason? :)

  4. Yes, yes it would. It would only make sense if the viewer knew that you’re just making a hell of an attempt to use the K somewhere =P
