SXSW Goods for Hashrocket & Cliqset
Posted by admin | Filed under Friendspiration, News and Updates, Posters
So even though Halftone Def didn’t grace SXSW with our physical presence this year, we will be there in limited edition design. Our good buddy Dennis from Thought & Theory and currently HASHROCKET hit Halftone Def up to do a limited run poster for them to hand out to a select few at SXSW and The good Folks at CLIQSET also hit Halftone Def up about a month back to make a VOLTRON inspired shirt for them to hand out. We didn’t print these though thank gawd, as you can see they were pretty complex with lots of colors and they were a run of 200. But thanks to Dan @Vivid Images we got that part handled! Until next SXSW next year -TRON OUT!
LOGO Loungin – An Oldie Makes The Cut
Posted by admin | Filed under Logos, News and Updates
So you may not be able to teach old dogs new tricks, but sometimes people will adopt one! I did this logo way back in 2005 when I was working for a company out at the beach that I, for sanity reasons, will leave unnamed. It’s kinda funny though cause this is not the exact one they went with. The one on the website has a lowercase t which to me doesn’t make the best of sense but hey, It’s what they wanted. But that still doesn’t mean I cant show this one! – TRON
I’m Flattered… not. The Mars Volta Deserves Better.

::UPDATE #2::
My 74 Soundsystem Poster Rip by Mr. John Harper made it onto an article about Extreme Graphic Design Plagiarism by The World Famous Design Junkies. Pretty Interesting. Read the Article here.
::UPDATE::
Thanks to the many comments left on my post www.youthoughtwewouldntnotce.com and awesome hate emails that you guys must have sent him, he has either taken his site down or carbon made jacked him for violating the terms of service. So thanks everyone. Even though he doesn’t think he did anything wrong as in comment #5.
I would say we were flattered John but seriously… the Mars Volta deserves better than this. What happened, could you not find a supporting act so you could finish the forehead? Just because your in the UK doesn’t mean we wont find you. Next time you rip someone off, you might want to stay away from graphics where the concept is all hand done type and the type is specific information… kinda makes it hard to have a decent outcome. And for god sakes leave good bands like The Mars Volta outta your crappy design rip offs and try something more in the POP Genre.
Anyone interested in Hiring Jonathan Harper to terribly rip off someones design for you he is available for freelance… you can contact the little bastard here and see the rest of his rip offs on these wonderful websites!
You just might want to check and see if your work is on here is well…

UAW – Just below Mr. T and Right above Jesus!
Posted by admin | Filed under News and Updates
So I know this was a while back seeing how they just released Book #5, but this was were my Urban Art Warfare logo landed in the Logo Lounge book #4. That’s right, on the front page of “Heads” Just below Mr. T and right above Jesus. I couldn’t have asked for a better spot. I didn’t have anything to submit to #5 but I have been told that my Techease logo is going to be in a special “tech logo” book and just this morning I found out that the RockandRollover logo as well as CatDog both got accepted into a “Animals & Mythology” special edition. But it still will take me decades to catch Mr. Kendrickkidd in that department. Check out all the Logo Lounge books for good inspiration!
Carl Spackler aka Bill Murray Caddyshack Shirts
Posted by admin | Filed under News and Updates
Here are a couple of the shirt designs I laid out for the Murray Bros Caddyshack Restaurant a little while back. The two on the ends are pretty simple, nothing special really. But the middle one with the one color Icon Illustration of Bill Murray as Carl Spackler from the movie was pretty fun to work on. I was told they wanted something similar to what Mike Ditka has for a logo, but I think I did a little better while keeping the simple icon style. Thanks to Big Chief Damon Williams as well for the pointers. Now pick up that blood and bark like a dog you mangy varmint, It’s in the Hole!
