The keystone has nothing to do with it. It's the blatant rte. sign concept. Lots of keystones in PA logo design, and that's all well and good. But should a 'heavyweight' creative factory be putting out exhausted concepts?On another note...Whims speaks some truth about the difficulty in creating a typeface...kerning pairs are a bitch.

They have a thorough knowledge of the craft of creating typefaces, and are well-versed in the history of type, especially mid-20C display faces. Much of what they do is done by hand. Try designing a typeface--or even recreating an earlier one, for that matter. It's the most difficult project a graphic designer can undertake. House Industries is a well-respected type foundry.

I'm sure Sweeney, who has no design background did the "Logo". GYRO on the other hand has been in the design/advertising industry since 1988 and for them to swipe a logo or just design a bad one for there own company, it kinda poo-poos on their own credibility especially when they throw themselves into the spotlight.
