Wordmark & Logo Approaches

Option A
Brad Clark
For Judge
Tarrant County · Court No. 5
Gold rule creates separation with distinction. Elegant, restrained.

Option B
Elect
Brad Clark
Tarrant County Criminal Court
No. 5 · Conservative Republican
Dark version for website header. "Elect" reads active — a call, not a label.

Option C
elect
Brad Clark
Judge · Tarrant County · Court 5
Italic lowercase "elect" adds a human, handwritten quality. Very distinguished.

Design Rationale
Judges are not politicians — they project wisdom and impartiality, not campaign energy. A clean typographic wordmark in a font like Playfair Display carries more judicial authority than any graphic mark. The name is the logo. All three options above are pure typography — no icons, no scales of justice clipart, no stars. Dignified, timeless, and fully legible from yard sign to website header to business card.
