Recs for overlapping parts of two words

Tags: #text #overlapping

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have recommendations on how I can overlap the words "Highland" and "Park". Below is a rough idea:Highland_Park.jpg

 

Thanks!

    Set highland tranparency mode to multiply, so you can atleast read both words.

     

    If you can lighten up the blue type that would help add some contrast for the type overlap.

    And I might play with putting "park" on top of "highland" as well as setting the top word to multiply.

    Er... Is this a good idea?

    If you want it to say "highland park" why mess with it?

    I am afraid that even with transparency effects it is going to be an illegible visual mess.

    Are you asking for ideas on editing the letterforms? Or, in other words, are you seeking free design?

    Yep, Steve is correct. There really isn't a good way for overlapping those words.

     

    Highland Park. I grew up near a Highland Park. It was a wonderful place with large trees, ponds and creeks.

     

    @scott. Sometimes free is a good thing. Other times, like below, one gets what they pay for.

     

    Take care, Mike
