when i think of classical music, the names that come to mind are such legends as mozart, bach, tchaikovsky, beethoven…the list is long and distinguished. like my, err…client list. and in thinking about how these artist composed their pieces, i looked for a way to help a juilliard professor, who specializes in classical music, achieve a classical mark in a modern world. what popped into my mind was the method in which musician scribbled their musical notes onto paper with quill and ink. droplets covering the sides of the pages, scratchy penmanship from the quill catching the paper threads. and i thought, “why not?” so a signature, with this concept in mind, was the driving force. and to bring it back to the present, what better way to display his profession than in a san serif font. and so the legends are reborn with a new musician to carry on their great works. ssshh. the lights are dimming. let the show begin.
