Alpha Omega

My friend Austin has this tatoo on his arm of alpha omega for the beinging and the end. I really like the way type is used in this. I like how the alpha and omega overlap and form one unit working together. Something I might change would be the bottom feet of the omega the angle and make them go straight out like they really do in the omega symbol.

I really do like the idea of the alpha and omega coming together to form one unit, but I agree with you Meredith in that the execution needs some work. Some of the angles are noticeably off and there are extra little shapes coming off of the symbols that I dislike.

I really think they came up with a good way of fitting these together, its like they became one unit. The execution is a little weak.... but still cool.

i love how the symbols work together. i agree with merrr as well about the execution and the angles. you just have to be picky about those things when getting the tattoo

I agree, the execution is not as strong as it could be. The extra symbols are distracting and take away from the piece.

I like how the two letterforms are interacting together but what I don't like is how the omega was manipulated, especially at the bottom because I feel we miss the most unique and beautiful part of the Omega symbol.
