Stared by Selecting Typeface, then created a series of playful layouts. Experimented with placement, Type Touch tool, offset PATHS. (ONLY using B&W grey OK)
Then edited layouts > PLACEMENT of letters, Alignment, etc). and selected a direction for color (You are not seeing it here, but I tried MANY other colors). Decided to use the last one.
Changed AMPERSAND (&) to green. Still it had some issues with dark colors and the legibility of type. Decided to make all a bit brighter.
