María, This all looks very nice, especially what I think is your most recent iteration: http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/FirstAidKit/Fedora-FirstAidKit-orange.png The much more conservative use of gradients here makes it look more professional. Though I would personally prefer a green or a blue for the final, I like your orange version because you use a darker, richer shade than in your other versions. That is, even if you choose blue, it should probably not be the really bright (enhanced by the sharp gradient) blue you use here: http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/FirstAidKit/Fedora-FirstAidKit-blue.png My main criticism involves the type. I just don't see this very thin, very open typeface as the right one for the job here. Though I don't particularly mind the connecting letters like Henrik does (ok, I don't mind the t/d or t/k, but the i/A may be a little much), but the difference between the bold K and all the other letters does not look very nice. Further, the spacing between letters is a little jarring, in that the F from First seems almost isolated (Fi is bound to be a little more open, true) from the rest when you crunch together First/kit on the top, Aid/kit on the bottom, and the ki from kit. I think these problems would be better solved with a different typeface than messing with the kerning yourself. I might try something simpler and blockier at first, but I'm sure it will take some experimenting. I'm sure you'll come up with something great. On a side note, is there a reason the k in kit is bold? Do the developers want to highlight the kit part or was that just to balance it out when you decided that kit should take up two lines? Also, the k in kit is lowercase while the F in First and the A in Aid are not. Is there similar reasoning behind that? I don't think the second thing creates any problems, just curious if that was a name thing or a design thing. Also, maybe a neatline around the rectangle on the bottom image to tighten it up. Really though, it looks very, very nice, and I look forward to seeing what the final version ends up being. It sounds like you already have a happy customer in jgranados.
