Ampersand V1

Some people spell “and” or use a “+” but no matter how you gravitate towards spelling out “and” the “&” or ampersand dates back as early as 1837. The word originates from a slurred form of “and, per se”. Interesting right?! Maybe I’m just a type junkie but I just had to get my ampersand fix to close out Monday right. These unique ampersands are all different explorations from an almost completed brand identity project. Alright, I need some honesty...was anyone even remotely intrigued by the facts above or am I just a nerd? Also which one do you like best?
