Fight Head On

"Shinkou shoubu" is a yoji-jyukugo, a kanji compound which combines four kanji to form a single meaning.
The meaning of this compound is "fight head on".
Soto Sabisu has used the kanji compound, combined with the seal of JKS England to produce a promotional product to raise funds for the JKS England karate squad.
There was quite a few hours of graphic design to get from the Block W5 font to the final artwork which very closely matches the version on the jacket of the association's chief instructor.
I have attached a few images so you can see the transformation. The plaques are available via JKS England.

Step 1 - Stock Kanji Selected

Step 2 - A free hand font selected in our graphic design package

Step 3 - The Image is converted to vectors and edited by hand
