Clef design comparision

[John Ruggero]

I got a little seasick looking at those rotating clefs!

[Fred G. Unn]

In light of the earlier discussion on rotation, number three from the left is the best one to me.

+1, I agree.

[Vaughan]

I agree, both with Knut and Fred, and with John about the seasickness.

[OCTO]

I agree, both with Knut and Fred, and with John about the seasickness.

:D I agree too!
I have noticed that clefs in old editions...

[John Ruggero]

And I agree with everyone about everything!

I sometimes copy clef shapes I like.

By the way, when I copied the Henle clef I was surprised by the poor quality of the original drawing:

I've wondered the same thing, Pierre, about the Henle treble clef. I think the design has been around for a while, so it could just be a result of less sophisticated tools than we have now. On the other hand, when printed out, the blemishes aren't that noticeable in the original design, but I definitely like your corrections.
