I am designing an identity for someone and have come up with the below (initial rough idea). But I have a nagging doubt that I have seen it before - does anyone recognise it????

It is specifically the arrangement of the initial 't'/cross element that I think I have seen - I have scoured the interweb without success and just don't want to go to client with a concept that has been done (especially as it is my fave of the ones I have done so far).

My wife does a bit of logo / identity design and you do get a bit convinced you recognise just about anything. But that may just be because it's a great logo!

It's also not dissimilar to the Take That logo...

But they have the cross piece on both halves.

And whilst I am here, let's have a little brainstorm 😉 It is for an organ transplant event which is specifically NOT for any one type of transplant so I cannot use hearts (or any other body part) to convey it. So what things spring to mind when I say 'transplant'? Also have been told they don't want blood droplets (as they work in that field separately anyways).

Holby City and Casualty both use the 'medical cross a T' device

How about something to imply transplantation within the type itself? Such as a character in a different typeface or colour to the rest?

Maybe with the "donor" and "recipient" words stacked either side of the date?

Your image link is broken - but it sounds similar my option two... 🙂

I did get even more 'creative' inserting numbers between letters but it all got a bit too confwesing.

Jackthedog - that might be where I have got it from. I think my interpretation of it is different enough - ta ! 🙂

Unfortunately it loses all medical connotations though...

I think you're fine with it. I do think the placement of the T/Cross is a bit awkward. I'd like to see the top of the T inline with the rest of the characters.

I wouldn't be sure without seeing it but I want to put put the 2013 inline with the end of the last T as well...

I did say it was just an initial idea (crikey - have you seen the gawd-awful kerning especially on the '2013') - just Mac-ed up a couple of sketches but will be progressing next week.

I wouldn't be sure without seeing it but I want to put put the 2013 inline with the end of the last T as well...

I would be more inclined to overlap it slightly - push it right to the edge of the 'T' and it will look like it is falling off. Probably.

Theres a mark used by proof readers used to show that two letters or words need to be switched around/transposed that might be useful

I'm not so sure about it at all. Will you be doing it in word m_f? My wife's nephew has just got himself a pc and he's really good with word. He's started using paintshop and his girlfriend says he has a good eye for colour too.

I'm not sure about the concept though, can you come up with say, 6 different ones? Wouldn't be able to pay you yet, but there's a good chance of more work if you can. I'll probably get my mum to have a qick look over it too. She used to cut up wallpaper to cover my school books when I was a kid and she was really accurate with that kind of stuff.

Darcy - you're every graphic designers worst nightmare / stroke / most likely client. 🙂 🙂 🙂

My brother has had clients bring their 7 yr old kid in to the agency and have the kid art direct. He's even had the proprietor of a fairly sizeable high street chainstore turn up with a drawing of superhero done by his school-age nephew, adamant that it should be the key element of their whole campaign. Not something like the drawing - it - the very drawing.
