Hello, this is the wife in question here. Vernon has started something – I'm very impressed with your responses.
I had not taken the optical illusion of a carved surface looking like an embossed one, into account. So thank you for pointing that out MBd.
PixelPest's image is the sort of thing I'm looking for – apart from the inner/outer thing.
I first thought of a cube to illustrate the space – a white cube in which to show work – but apart from the existing gallery in London, the idea is too widely used. So then I thought a block of stone with an 'S' carved in one face. Like on a gravestone but with a matt surface – not all shiny and smooth.
As for fonts, I see where Vernon is coming from with Gill – and if a sans serif could be made to be imposing (not quite the word I'm looking for) enough, okay but I would think a serif font would suit the idea of stonemasons and letter carving better?
Regards, Penelope
I've been doing some Googling
