That's very kind of you, thanks.

    Awesome. Could you just make it a little worse? Thanks

The first thing that the finished logo made me think of was old book covers--http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81YS9egzy2L.jpg is an example (that I found after googling "book covers that 'Not That Kind of Girl' was mimicking.) I think the new one really (really, really) exaggerates the old-fashionedness of the big serif "Jeb" font, which makes a lot of sense with his being kind of a blast from the past. It still has the very modern "2016" but overall it looks much less modern and trendy than the designer's final draft. Given Jeb's target audience, I think that what they went with makes sense.

Primarily sharing. I know it could use work.

For me, it might be The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño. It instilled a strong sense of wanderlust in me at a young age that I have yet to shake.

I always thought Dadaism was cool.
