i think i like option A because they flow well with the o in your last name. it just looks more uniform.

B

I’d have to go with Option B, because I’ve always preferred that type of a over the other. It’s easier to distinguish from an o.

Option B, random stranger!

Option B. I love the classiness of the older “A” shape.

Option A, the a matches the o. you want it to look consistant.

I like the second type of a better, but definitely agree that the first looks better overall because of the symmetry.

I vote for B.. the ‘round’ a looks too much like the o

version a - sits better with the circular ‘o’s.

I like option B.


Things have a been a little crazy over this way, but I just wanted to thank everyone who chimed in. Very helpful - and so fun hearing everyone’s thoughts on such a little design detail! It was just short of a tie with Option B as the winner. I still like both versions, so what I may do is buy both settings and try each on my finished site to see which one gels for me at the end. So much work to do - so little time!

And thanks once again to the lovely Sarah for sharing the post for me. You all should follow her if you don’t already!

 
  1. murmurandshout said: One thing I noticed about these replies is that the pros (at least, the ones I know are in design fields) tended toward option A, with the rest of us laymen mostly going for option B. I don’t know if that’s helpful but I thought it was interesting.
