After presenting my initial digital and sketched designs to my peers and explaining the processes and influences I went through to get to the stage I am now at, I received some fairly useful feedback from them.
As a whole everyone preferred the fully LED lettering as opposed to the plain typeface, as they thought it reflected the sex industry a lot clearer, and was a much more recognisable link to her book content. My peers also suggested I could try other colours rather than just pink, such as blue or some really neon, fluorescent colours. They also thought that the half LED and half normal style didn't work that well how I had tried it before, as it looked like two halves put together, rather than one seamless design. I said how with the logotype all on one line, it didn't really look like I had done a lot of work behind it, and my peers responded by saying I could try it on two lines, underneath each other, to make it look more like a logo rather than just type. I also raised the worry of how it will appear on different backgrounds being a colour, and the LED effect only really working with a coloured background, and it was suggested I could produce the LED style using a black colour light for on a white background, and vice versa for a black background. I'm not sure how eye catching this would look, or if the LED style would still be recognisable, however I shall experiment with this to see.
All in all my feedback was rather positive, and it gave me a clearer direction to go in, as my peers and tutors have commented on which works and which doesn't from an outside position. I will experiment further, and with my hand drawn designs as well, as someone commented that I could try making these in an LED style as well, to make it look more rough, like Tracey Emin's work.
