Poll. Pick a monogram

This is Tricia's FH here, I cannot believe I am on this site. Someone put a bullet in my head before I get as addicted as FW is.

The first one is my design. I felt that FW had a great design, but it was hard to read and the large 'F' in the background was confusing. I added a hairline border to all the elements, a black border on the names and a darker pink on the 'F' and date. I feel it brings the name to the fron and keeps the others in the background, making it easier on the eyes.

The second design is Tricia's design. I know you guys are all tight and will vote for her, but give me a chance.

The black really makes it pop. Sorry Tricia, but I have to go with FH on this one.

Nope. I like Tricia's. I don't like the black. It's kind of harsh.

I also agree.

I like both of the mono's but the black like it just does not flow right. I think it should be soft and flowing.

Re: Poll. Pick a monogram

kind of late for my response but here it goes, it all depends on what kind of background you are putting it on right?
I like the one with the Black it looks elegant and to know that both of you are doing this makes it more wonderful :)

i like the second one - i also think the black is too hare on the eyes. IMO, A monogram is not meant to be super clear, i think it looks neat as kind of a design that just happens to have your names intertwined.

Both are awesome though - nice teamwork!

I like the black. But I don't know if it is just me or my monitor but the 7 looks like it is a different color on the first one. They are very nice monograms

Re: Poll. Pick a monogram

Thanks girls for all the input. The '7' is the same color but it looks funny because he outlined it in the darker pink from the full names. I think it will be on an ivory program and whatever else we do will probably be in ivory since I am psychotic about not having any white at the wedding since my dress is ivory. Oh well I guess I will need to override his monogram!
