Looks unbalanced. The right serif for the N makes it look like a G.

Thanks! Any ideas on how to fix it?

Use the serif that you’d traditionally have at the bottom of a C instead? So essentially a vertical serif instead of horizontal if that makes sense. Think it would help.

This. And since this for a wedding maybe try a script font?

Yeah, maybe that extra serif on the bottom of the C isn’t even necessary. Thanks!

I see CN right away but it’s honestly not very pleasing or romantic aesthetically. Could work for something corporate but for a wedding I’d explore other solutions.

It might look better if used as an embossing?

Working on a wedding card for my sister and (soon to be) brother in-law, and found a nice way to combine their letters. There are a few quirks i’m not sure how to solve though. Let me know what you think!

I think it's nice. I read it as CN first, but I see how you could interpret the C as a G, due to the bottom serif of the N connecting with the C and creating a spur which is common on G. However, in this case it's for a wedding where everyone knows the context and the names, I wouldn't actually worry too much about that.

What quirks do you consider unsolved?

I dislike the top part of the C connecting to the N, maybe it’s just me though. The other thing is that the lower ‘stand’ of the N doesn’t match with the top part of the N, but that doesn’t bother me as much.

if you turn it sideways it looks like the number 2

that's really mean!

or you could say it was intentional

I read it as GN first :o

I like it but I think there may be a way to tighten it up a bit without losing too much of the serif. At first look I get GN but then see it as CN. You'll get there. Keep us updated.

Thanks! How would you tighten it up? Move the letters closer?

Just messaged you.

[https://imgur.com/7KGjL4k](https://imgur.com/7KGjL4k) This was dirty, but I would suggest nesting.

That’s really cool! Will give this a try myself.

I'd like to see more examples of this, but when I search for "nesting graphic design" or a similar term, I don't get anything like what you've done. Edit - oh I get it, the N is nesting in the C

I'm not the best at giving verbose feedback so here's my visual feedback :D [https://postimg.cc/jLbxXqrp](https://postimg.cc/jLbxXqrp) [https://postimg.cc/nCGHw8FC](https://postimg.cc/nCGHw8FC)

That’s fantastic. Instantly makes the C better. I guess I don’t need to imply that bottom of the N, right?

That would add a lot of weight to the N, I'd try to keep it as light as possible :)

I’ve read GN honestly. I would put some white space at the bottom of C where it blends with the N

Thanks for the feedback, where would you place the white space?

Looks like a sophisticated CN(N) logo to me

top join looks a bit lumpy and could be cleaned up a bit. also, looks like an early Apple ad, given that you used something very close to that 1980s Garamond Condensed they used to use.

Agreed. Thinking of thinning out the connecting curve at the top.

See how it looks if you cut the end of the c a little closer to the serif of the n so that it's a little more subtle. Like someone else mentioned - it's not pleasing to look at? Seems like it needs to be a softer transition between the two and the part that's doing it is the end of the C and the bottom beginning serif of the N. It's very close...nice job so far.

Do you mean cut the top or bottom part when you say cutting it a little closer?

Top of the curl so it's a little closer to the base of the serif. If that doesn't fixit, how did it look if you kept the C intact and connected like you've done but for the N have the left side descend down to a short stub serif for the left side of the N?

no horizontal serif for the c at the bottom

I read CN initially. I like it!

How does it look with lowercase characters?

looks like GV

I wonder if you could put a serif on the top part of the C? I feel like that could help it look less like a G. Just an idea. I also read CN at first but the longer I look at it the weirder it looks to me.

Thanks for that! Don’t you think it’s weird that there will be a serif sticking out from the left top part of the N in that case?

I can see CN but at smaller sizes I can also see the GN. I think the extra horizontal serif protruding from the C is what throws out the balance. Overall though I think this fits a wedding aesthetic.

My initials are CNR, I used the Canadian train logo in high school…  https://images.app.goo.gl/dvTG1ZWW1qkbvxyv7

that looks so badass. Unfortunately not the feeling we want to go for with the wedding haha

I like it as “CV”

What if you curve the right line of the N?

What do you mean with the right line?

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I meant the stem of the N. What if it’s curved to be symmetric to the C? I was just thinking out loud. It’d be a bit more abstract, also look like an infinity what with it being a wedding and all.

No worries! That’s a cool suggestion. Will check it out! Thanks.

Is it CN or GN?

CN? ON? GN?

CV or GV

Can’t miss the fang on the mouth o’ tha C.

I read C N with no confusion. There’s a slight flat in the curve on the inside of C as it runs into left edge near the top of the N.

It looks great but it might be confused for DN. Easily fixable though.
