I was wondering what people think of the Cloister Black letter E for the EOMA logo. I can imagine that some people might find it hard to read or understand. Legible enough any one would suppose?

In case anyone is worried about copyright claim, apparently the original authors found the font on gimp, which is absurd because it's not an in-built font so it must have been a system font that they just casually assumed was free since they found it in gimp >.>
Regardless, I found the font as a free [as in beer] font on a font sale website with the name matching and each letter meticulously matching. Through there I found the author's website which is in German and has many other font downloads of various styles. Through google-translate I discovered that german text on the page said free for "private" use, whatever that means (maybe if someone knows German?) and they reiterated "you may use" multiple times in the comments. Unfortunately, they seem to have a lot of fonts on the website which they've been updating occasionally "Cloister Black" included. In fact the name no longer shows "Cloister Black" on their website and instead shows "Old English", but through the wayback machine I found an archived version that shows "Cloister Black". I'll post the link here when I get a chance, I saved it on my other computer.
For me it really only works in the list. As stand alone I think it would be a WTF moment.

I have to agree that as a stand-alone logo, the E would be entirely lost on most people. Looks as much like random stuff settled in a crescent moon as it does an E.

I wouldn't really worry, as my intention is not to make a tribute to Death Note as a whole so much as to make a subtle reference to the character "L Lawliet"'s technical prowess and ethos. I figure the E would be the most appropriate for various reasons pertaining to the lore. Interestingly, I discovered that the letter "N" they used to represent Near doesn't match the Cloister Black font they said they used, but rather matches exactly another font made by the same author a font with a much more clearly defined letter "E" [see link bellow], which I find appropriate since it represents a new font to represent a new generation.
What do y'all think of this letter E? Much more clear?

I looked around a little bit, and the only blackletter capital E that I thought might look good in isolation is the one from bastarda:

I just realized how that was a whole chart not a single letter, so I'm attaching a crop to just the "E" with this email. [not sure if attachments work here]
If that really was the very block font used by Gutenberg, that would be interesting. Wish the source for that stanza wasn't a book :c

Aw, crap, how'd I manage that one...?
That's just embarrassing.
Hold on folks, I can fix it.

FWIW, I think that has merit. I think it has the possibility of rendering down to two colours, as well. Also if I'm picturing correctly, it should render legible if someone copies the full colour on a limited greyscale BW copier or printer.

I'm still of the opinion that there should be some intersexuality with other groups, organizations, projects, events [historical or otherwise], and/or popular culture. :P
No offense though(!), since it looks like ya put quite a bit of effort into those.

So people who don’t like the other group, organization, project or event and/or popular culture don’t like EOMA? I disagree.
What about the number 68 in the logo though?

Decided to throw my hat into the ring. I needed to drag my Windows system out anyways -- someone sent me a nice new Android tablet that forgets it's been set up as soon as it shuts down... time to learn how to flash a tablet image. Heh.
...anyways...
Here is an album of logo versions --> http://imgur.com/a/YoTJx
...I don't *think* that site has nasty germy ads, but Adblock Plus is a handy thing to have enabled, in any event... ;)
You get three color versions -- one with the full text of the name, and two different ones with just the acronym -- and three grayscale ("black and white") versions -- two different ones with the full text, and one with only the acronym. Each logo image is sized 3x5 inches, the size of a US-issue 'flash card'. (No, no, the *paper* kind!)
Font is "Aero" --> http://www.dafont.com/aero2.font ...says "100% Free" in the license corner, which I take to mean "free for all uses under the sun, including commercial stuff". IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm not a lawyer -- my mother was, but not in that business sector, and she's retired anyways.
Colors are in 24-bit RGB colorspace for the color versions and in 8-bit grayscale colorspace for the grayscale versions. Colors and their RGB values are as follows...
Blue is R 000 G 000 B 255 Green is R 000 G 255 B 000 Light Gray is R 128 G 128 B 128 Medium Gray is R 192 G 192 B 192 Dark Gray is R 223 G 223 B 223 Black is of course R 255 G 255 B 255
I have the original source files for you, Luke, if you want them; they are unfortunately done in a closed-source graphics program (CorelDRAW X8 (that's version 18)) -- sorry, I just can't get my head around Inkscape and its comparatively very strange and clunky interface. The source files are, therefore, rendered as Corel *.cdr files, which may or may not import gracefully into Inkscape later... if you want them, let me know and I'll send them to the off-list GMail address I have on file for you and you can do with them as you please.
I really hope this doesn't become the standard for the keyboard. I detest death note with a huge passion.
