Type Exp - Logo?

Considering the fact that this is a poster series, I want to have some sort of logo to use across everything to tie it all together. I think that by doing this it will ensure that it looks more like a set within a series rather than just random posters. I want this to look quite cool.

Tried the X thing but definitely don't want to go with this. 

Hmm. I quite like where I am heading with these. 

Tried without the circles, works just as well. Think I prefer the circles though.

Definitely a full circles rather than a dashed one.

Tried more squarer shapes but don't agree with these as much as the circle, just don't think they work as well. 

Considering the fact that I am pretty set on a circle, and the posters are about coffee... ding din. Coffee ring? Made one and live traced it on illustrator. I really like how it turned out, first time I have tried something like this.

Definitely liking the coffee circle better than the first ones that I did, and it ties in more with the theme  result. 

Tried again without the circle this time with the less information. I like these, but prefer the fact that the circle links with the content more.

Minor variations. 

I have decided on the logo that I am happy with. Been working on this a while though now so need to double check after I have stepped away from it for a little while.

B&W - Gift Bag Handles

Gift bag handles. Something that I have been thinking about but haven't made a decision on yet. Basically I just want a black rope type handle. So I went into town to a stall where I thought would do it and tried to explain what I was wanting (I didn't do a very good job of this), but ended up with what I wanted. I figured I would need a lot to be able to put them on all of the bags, so I bought all that she had available. When I have measured it out and what not, I don't have enough. Damn. And she certainly doesn't have anymore. 

After thinking about it though, I considered how the photos for the project would be, and figured that I could get away with only adding a handle to one side of the bag because not both sides would be seen. Result! I had just enough to do this. I made sure that the ends of the strings went under the folded over top of the bag, that way they are not seen on the inside, and then that could be the 'explanation' why the other sides ends can't be seen.

I really like these handles, I think they finish the bags off nicely. Shame there wasn't enough for what I wanted but at least I got what I needed. Happy happy.
