HackHack The TalkTalk Logo

I’m having a weird Sunday, so decided to play ‘silly graphic designer’ today, and rustle up a juvenile play on the TalkTalk logo.

Quite straightforward to create this HackHack version of the TalkTalk logo: found a decent high resolution image of the original TalkTalk logo design, then popped that into Illustrator for tracing via the ‘Image Trace’ command.

Once I had the paths traced, it was just a case of constructing the ‘H’ and letter ‘c’. The ‘H’ was simply made from parts of the original ‘T’, and the ‘c’ was made with Gotham Rounded Bold, with a few little tweaks.

I did spend a little bit of time trying to see if anyone knew if the TalkTalk font was, but looks like it's a custom job. However, the closest font I found was called Chocolat, from T26. By far the closest in terms of the rounded and bloated inner corners, just that the letter 'a' was way off!
