I am designed the logo for a campaign celebrating the arts in Nashville called “Mozart in Music City“. This is a partnership between BlackBird Theater, Nashville Symphony, Nashville Opera, and Lipscomb University.
The logo is based on varying handwriting of Amadeus Mozart on a music scale. See if you can spot the guitar which is usually mandatory when you use the term Music City. 😉
The theme for this year’s Play On Con was Battle Star Galatica. In order to keep with tradition Uncle Sam “Uncle POC” was infused with a cylon head. See if you can spot the cylon raider form in the brim of the hat, the Uncle Sam Top Hat silhouette, and Uncle Sam pointy beard.
The theme for the HCA 2012 Caring for the Community Campaign is Space:Above and Beyond. Here is the multi stage variants of the badge logo that an astronaut might get for their mission (think Apollo 11 missions). The best part for the design was figuring out how to make it look stitched like a real badge. I ultimately figured it out in Illustrator and kept it all vector. Pretty cool stuff.
This year also marks the first social media foray for the campaign. Check out HCA CFCC on Facebook.
The guys at DWP have started a Star Wars The Old Republic podcast called YE OLDE REPUBLIC and they contacted me to provided the logo, podcast graphic, and other collateral. The basic idea is an avatar…I like the idea of the multi-arm idea of MMOs. Simply put people choose to become one of many classes in game, so the multi arm avatar symbolizes this with the main character holding different weapons to symbolize the different classes (Jedi, Sith, Trooper, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, etc)
Brent at good old Dead Workers Party commissioned a logo for a new podcast they will be kicking off for FIREFALL the upcoming free-to-play shooter. I have not yet received a beta key but I signed up so here’s to hoping. Enjoy!
The ever busy Dead Workers Party has another podcast underway. It is called “Core Elements” and will focus on gaming as a whole ( read not only video games).
Wes Wilson over there asked for a poster to be drawn up with a turn of the century tinkering feel. I got to do this in the Art Nouveau style, which was great fun to investigate. Art Nouveau has alot to offer though it seems to be passed up buy the more familiar Art Deco and propaganda style posters of the early century. Also for part of this was a logo .
Have a gander at the sketch, the finished poster (which will be available in print soon), the logo, and a close up for vanity sake 🙂
IT’s that time of year again for the HCA Caring for the Community Campaign!! This year’s theme is SuperHeroes. I wanted to approach the branding in a stoic and idealistic approach. Also the agencies that help the community are the real Heroes and we come along side them as sidekicks int he community.
In Nashville there is a tall skyscraper that locals have dubbed “The Batman Building”. I worked its silhouette into the overall design for collateral. Also I used silhouettes and a basic shapes to down play the silliness that could be associated with Super Heroes and focused in on more the ideal concept of heroics.
