Death Metal Logos!

 Recently I was lucky enough to design logos for an up and coming death metal band, Scorched Earth. This was great to do as it was something different for me. Knowing that the band's influences are early metal I'd be great to have the logos that style too. Majority of them are drawn with ink as I thought it would give an older look and not make it so clean and sharp as a vector style would. The band's just told me too that they have already sent them off to get t-shirts done! so will defiantly post up some photos of them!

Gig Flyers!

I've been able to do a lot of flyers recently which is good because I've been able to use recurring themes or go with anything even if it was nothing to do with the band but as long as it stands out and attracts attention. Even though they're temporary it is still great to see them posted up around the city, in the venue and other bands using them to advertise.

            

         

           

Band Logos

These are the first two logos for my new band, Lace and Whiskey. I thought this time round I'd do just type based logos as I'd have much more freedom in using many illustrations and icons for different purposes when the band is avertised. The inspiration for the logos are 70s/80s hard rock as it is what we love playing.

Band Logo

Not that long ago I was asked by a new and upcoming band to create a logo for them that really said what they are about. The Royal Cut Throat Co. are a mix of swing, jazz, rockabilly and maybe even a hint of punk, they have the look and what to stand out. They wanted something simple but would suit the genre/scene they want to attract. From a design point of view it was great to have the band know what they wanted and to draw up precise pen tool images in illustrator. The thing I like about it, it would be easy to change the colours around and it perfect for a drum skin.

New Logo and First Gig Poster Back!

One of the bigger projects I've done in awhile is the new logo for my band Push To Twist. The reason for it being is it's the band's second coming since March with new members. This logo is a series from the first one being a hot rod car now to a hot rod plane. There is an idea behind the plane going into our stage show but I don't want to give much away as we haven't had our first gig yet. I animated the plane as I would with a car and I'm happy with the result and hopefully this will be seen around a lot more.

Here is our poster for our first gig back. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. The original idea for it was to be based on n old 1930s comic book cover but I was finding it a bit hard to get it to much what we wanted out of it. With that idea still in mind it became an advertisement from that time still. The overlay of the old, worn paper at the start wasn't meant to be so dominant but once I put it on I knew it was perfect, it gives it a constructivism look which fits the era still with the style of plane. I used both Illustrator and photoshop.

Logo Art

The drawings here I had worked on for the last couple of weeks as ideas for a band's new logo. These three did not get picked but I'm still very happy with the result of them and I used a cell shading with them and i think it suits well with my style. It was a bit of a challenge drawing people again but i enjoyed it and I've decided to draw a some portraits after my current project to get back into it.
