Monogram

Hi Guys:

So I am playing around with another monogram. Here is a little background about my wedding.

FH and I are both huge Mets fans (yes I know they have been horrible lately!). We actually got engaged at Citifield. Our colors are blue (more towards navy than light or bright blue). The flowers we are going to bring in bright orange, bright pink and bright yellow. We are not doing a straight Mets theme but we are bringing the Mets into the wedding. We are actually trying to schedule Mr. Met to come to part of our reception.

What do you think of this monogram? Honest opinions. I can definitely take criticism.

TIA

Re: Monogram

It def goes well with ur colors and theme but I'd give it a 7 in a scale from 1 to 10, sorry girly I'm just being honest. I'm sure u can make it look beautiful.

Re: Monogram

I said I wanted honesty and I mean it!

Any suggestions of how to fix it to make it a 10?
I am so not good at the design aspect. I guess that is why I went to law school instead of art school....haha

Re: Monogram

I have to agree with bebita... I see where you are going with this... How about you try getting a monogram file on etsy? They don't charge much for high-resolution image files.. like $15-$20

Re: Monogram

Is there a particular person that you would recommend on etsy?

Re: Monogram

lolol, do u have publisher? u can google monogram designs in the images section, copy/paste it in publisher, and add the fonts u want to it.

I actually got my monograms through a 2010 bride -she's also doing my invite-. I paid only $20 and she custom made like 10 different ones.

These monograms are from google, I opened them with paint, erased the names and dates, now -if u want- you can open them with publisher and add your names and dates.

Re: Monogram

I'm bored so I decided to whip something up real quick.... how about something like this?

or something along these lines as a starting point... I can change the fonts and colors around if you want.

Re: Monogram

OMG... thank you so much Jessie.

I don't love the font for the N but I think you are capturing what I am looking for!

Re: Monogram

FYI I am having some trouble sending the other 4 - keep getting an error message... I'll send when I can

Re: Monogram

I like the color combination, but I think one thing you can fix is just the fonts being used so that they don't clash. Here's a quick mock up I just did - I was inspired by the Mets colors also
