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

ASPEN – Facility Services Logo

Posted by admin | Filed under Logos

Here is a quick little ditty I managed to whip up for a friend who is starting his own facilities service/management company in south Florida called ASPEN – Facility Services. Sometimes it takes pages and pages of sketches before you can get an idea right, and sometimes it just comes right out of you. This was one of those lucky times. There was a lot to work with here having the company named Aspen and mountains being somewhat shaped like a “A” but that was just too obvious. All I could keep thinking about was those Gillette Mach 3 commercials where the guys uses the razor to carve out a mountain scene from the shaving creme. It was that Idea that lead me to try to make a mountain scene out of cleaning swipes and in about 5 tries or so, I had it. Add the custom type, and some environmentally friendly colors that he suggested and Boom…Buddy Stoked

SWEET N FLOUR – Logo & Stamp

Posted by admin | Filed under Logos

It’s Pretty Simple actually… My wife Marisa Makes Delicious Handmade Baked Goods, I love her very very much and I Definitely love the goods. So when the time came to make her a logo that would encompass everything about her, I put all my love into it. And then when my love started running thin, I called in the help of a good friend and expert kendrick kidd. He took what I had started, Rounded the edges and dotted the lines (literally) & made what I thought was good better. And the final product came out awesome as you can see. A cute little curvy logo seal with bows, cupcakes and pies tucked neatly inside… Just like Marisa. Thanks Guys for the Help and the Inspiration. You will be seeing much much more of this logo in the near future, cause we are just pre-heating the oven!

Point.Click.Enjoy Logo Design

I did this logo for my good friend Sarah “The Butscher” Butscher’s web side of her photography (Point.Shoot.Enjoy) and blog. It’s a slight variation of the type treatment she already had on there but just staring at it one day, I notice that with a little tweaking I could get the I, L, and J to line-up and it made for the perfect little umbrella icon which is appropriate that Point.Click side of her work and life is good content for a rainy day.

Murray Bros. CaddyShack Logo

This logo is what I like to call the REHASHER! I was asked to take what they had and make it better but I had to use all the same parts that where making the previous one difficult. But this was nothing that a little hand done type couldn’t help. I basically knocked the color palette down from 5 colors to 2 and simplified the hell out of it since it was going to embroidered on hats, printed on golf balls, and everything in between. I gotta say when I saw it on the 30ft x 30ft backdrop, I was pretty stoked!

I also designed the current website as well check it www.caddyshackcharitygolf.org

The Urban South Identity

Posted by admin | Filed under Logos

Well Folks, this was pretty much the beginning, and your on the site now so you know what it stands for. Basically I just wanted a logo for myself that encapsulated my love for both the city life and the woods and get a little 80’s sitcom / Muscle car heritage in there. And I think I pretty much got it! All you designers out there know how hard it is to do a logo for yourself, but if you think hard enough, one day it will just come to you… Probably while your driving, in the shower, or on the toilet.

Urban Art Warfare Logo & Street Tag

Posted by admin | Filed under Logos

This Logo was Originally my Identity for my self promotion piece for portfolio class while in school but soon became the Identity of the Website (UrbanArtWarfare.com) a site dedicated to showcasing artist on the web and Street Tag which which was used to promote the site and the movement. The logo gained a good bit of publicity due to it’s obscure/scary likeness to a war gas mask, and depending on who you talk to, It became pretty popular over the next several years. Since it’s Inception, it has been seen on anything from clothing and stop signs to Billboards and TV. Accomplishing exactly what the name describes and nothing more to this day… Urban Art Warfare.
