Incidentally, the INVADER logo was hand drawn (digitally) and not based on any font in particular, though I had the Iron Maiden logo in the back of my mind while working on it (it's always been one of my favorites).<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of the foil logo on the El Caz trade either. My biggest complaint though, is that the covers weren't included. Neither was page 1 of the first issue, which ruins the opening scene (for me, at least).Steve Eptinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424779011822915937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-35903615693240840232009-05-31T09:21:36.505-04:002009-05-31T09:21:36.505-04:00I think El Caz was the first Crossgen logo that di...I think El Caz was the first Crossgen logo that didn't use existing fonts, which is why it stands out nicely.<br /><br />I just wish the logo wasn't done in foil on the trade paperback, but that's a minor gripe 'cause the contents are a thing of beauty.drewgeracihttp://www.drewgeraci.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-90188457206284351022009-05-19T18:44:12.478-04:002009-05-19T18:44:12.478-04:00:-( opps:-( oppsTizianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-64040980393930522852009-05-19T15:09:00.000-04:002009-05-19T15:09:00.000-04:00Well, I'm surprised by this response.

But thanks for the comments David and everyone else (except you Frador, I know who you are:)).<br /><br />About El Caz - we were trying to get a promo piece of art done for Megacon and production needed a logo we could put on it right away. I went back to my desk and drew it quickly, figuring it would be good enough for promo art and we could do a proper one later. We never got around to doing another one because everyone was satisfied with what we had, including (uncharacteristically) me.Steve Eptinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424779011822915937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-26623610739731512432009-05-18T21:11:00.000-04:002009-05-18T21:11:00.000-04:00Since everyone is voting for Crux, how about El Ca...Since everyone is voting for Crux, how about El Cazador?<br /><br />Steve, I'm a late comer to your art and the whole Captain America rage but I've collected the trade paperbacks and am up to speed on the monthly series.
