Bossa Nova

This is a headline lettering for a poster my friend requested for his presentation about Bossa Nova music. It was used together with some famous record covers.

The text consists of five separate lines forming the letters. I first drew this by hand to get the basic lines and their relations right, and then scanned it and made a vector version. The colors are of course the same as in the flag of Brazil. Each of the five lines has a separate gradient coloring to keep the look a bit more lively. There are some areas the curves could have been smoothed out a bit more but I like the look in general.
