From the pages of my notebooks - Ideas that got the chop.

All I have been posting here is, I suppose, a series of cases of what-might-have-beens. That said, this is the one I was most gutted about. The logo was for Cow’s Lane Fashion Market and the idea was simple – the origin of the letter A as an upside down heifer’s head. The version here is not the properly typeset version but just represents the idea. I looked forward to the execution and having HUGE As everywhere.

My two favourite parts of it were that the N, S, E & W were all together like a jumbled compass and that it kind of read like it said “any fashion market” (N E Fashion Market)

This was a major Lost Cause for me. A few years ago I wrote a few pieces of ambient electronic music. I have no grounding in music and little or no understanding of it beyond an unsophisticated appreciation. As a result I have been reluctant to “show” these pieces. I will put them up on A Worthy Cause over the next week, as long as I can get over my abiding sense of musical inferiority. They are collected under the name Silent Memories.
