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.

T-Shirts

Last year I did some work for Big L's Chop Shop and the Beaters Car Club and not that long ago they asked me to design up t-shirts and hoodies for them. Hopefully they'll be seen out and about in the summer. I made a few colour options so they could be printed on black and white t-shirts, some smaller logos for the front and different shapes for the car club logo.

Tikis!

First post in a little while but I'm back in the swing of things! At the start of September I drew up some tiki icons to be used on gig flyers for a venue in Melbourne. I worked along with Uketsuke who drew up and designed the awesome flyer. After it was completed I decided to drew up some more and I think they would look cool as an alphabet or numbers.

Here is the flyer from one of the weeks!

Band Logo Update

Earlier this month my band had our first gig back in 10 months and I was lucky enough to get my logo printed onto stickers in time for the night. It's great to know that people i don't know have these stickers on their cars, fridges and anything else and the band's name is getting out there more!

On the night too being Friday the 13th we decided to have a horror costume competition, so I thought I'd take part as well. First time I'd done costume makeup and on myself but it was fun drawing on something that wasn't paper and I ended up doing some on the other guys in the band too.

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.

Design Jobs

This logo is for the Beaters Car Club. They already have the logo and type done and asked me to put colour and a background on it. I got the idea from the style of cars that are in the club. It's very custom/hot rod based. Hopefully we'll be able to see it on t-shirts, jackets and stickers soon!

This is a very recent job i just did for the band, The Black Aces. They are a rock band from Bendigo. The brief was very open as long as the photo and type logo was there. The Style i went for is what hard rock bands from the 70s, 80s would have. I think it fits very well with the type of music, it looks like its made to be pasted up in the city streets, it's bold, simple and effective.

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.
