All Good Things...

Thanks for the memories! 2012 - 2013 I started to get serious about designing almost a year ago. I feel like I've seriously grown as a designer: putting out really quality items which will hold up over many years. Over this past year one of my major re-brands was for a musician (that will be the subject of a later blog), however in one of the cutting room floor designs, I saw something which really struck my eye. Luckily for me, he discarded...

Fantasy Warfare III

Making little tweaks to the concept. I replaced the script with a new font as the script just seemed out of place with the overall concept. Also - figured it out and added in a new interlocking "SF" logo. I'm really proud of how it came out as I think the "SF" is one of the stronger items I've done. SF Bees Version 2.0 I'm also debuting what may be the proposed 'Road' and 'Home' uniforms: Bees' Home (L) and Road (R) uniforms I tried...

Fantasy Warfare II

From sketches to designs.. We now have a first look at what I'm putting together: You can see a lot of the design elements from my sketches incorporated into the first set of logos. The main Bee logo had been modified from it's butterfly wings and is now incorporated into the homeplate/stinger design. The main crest evolved from circle to hexagon to go give a honeycomb effect. The modified bee now rests atop the city moniker while the...

Fantasy Warfare

I'm a big fantasy sports guy. I started playing back in 2003 and have been in various fantasy leagues across all sport (yes, even a NASCAR league). One of the bigger pleasures of doing these leagues is creating a working identity set for some of my teams. So, with this, I'm working on a possible identity change for my Asylum League team, the Las Vegas Dragons. 2012 Asylum League Logo Sheet This set is based off of a scrapped Arena...

Podcast-A-Go-Go

A friend from High School started up his own comedy company and is doing the stand-up circuit around Southern California. He's expanded the business aspect of it to include a podcast and so far, his ventures have been pretty successful. A while back, he had asked if someone would be willing to donate a logo for the podcast to help the cause. I had some ideas in my head, but never really went forward with it nor contacted him about it. Original...

Just Imagine: Detroit Red Wings

Not going to lie: this was a hard one to re-imagine. You have a great look (but poor wordmark), classic uniforms and a timeless icon. I can see why this would be hard to touch and upgrade... Wordmark is usually in Red, but you get the idea... I took a real chance on this Original 6 team. The easy way out would be to go with an airline or nature theme, but that's not "Detroit". Detroit is the motor city; going against that wouldn't work on...

Just Imagine: Houston Rockets

I initially started the "Just Imagine" contest over on the AsylumBoards. Basically, the premise was off of Stan Lee's Just Imagine Comic Series (a series which he took the names of established DC Comics characters and gave them a complete new spin on it), but to do it with sports teams.  Sadly, the idea didn't take off like I hoped it would (maybe next year!), but out of it came some really imaginative concepts (which was...
