Agency Logo

The Agency is a new skateshop in my awesome hometown Yucaipa, CA. The owners are great guys who have done a lot for me over the years. If you are in the area you should do all of your shopping at this shop from now on. Tell them Nate sent you and they might laugh at you or something.

Agency Foot Board

Use Yer Feet!

This is for one of their first board launches, and it doesn’t get much better than a giant, blue, foot…nuff said.

That’s why I have decided to post this. Creativus was for a project that didn’t quite make it out the door, but the type logo came out great, so here it is.

I have decided to try to design as many random logos for random ideas that I possibly can. With the help of my side kick, idea man Noah, this is what we have come up with. Its a work in constant process and I want to keep up making 3 or 4 good ones a week, while still balancing my real work and clients at the same time….


Writes Mostly

The first is a logo for the writer man Noah, who writes mostly. I was excited to get to do a logo with a WM letter combination. The two letters together have a great symmetry and a lot of shape combination possibilities. After some experimentation, I thought the interlocking effect worked really well with the Garamond Typeface. Which has a writer feel to it without being Times New Roman.

Neckless

Last night I was conversing about the word neckless…like….no neck, haha. This mark still needs a little work but I wanted to post the process. This reminds me of Danny Devito fromĀ It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, ’cause he has no neck.

And last in my night of logo partyin’ is Pants. Just because Knomad wanted a Pants logo in which a pair of pants made up the “A” in Pants. He asked, I delivered….Enjoy

I just finished the brand development for an awesome local business in Orange, CA called Orange Medical Marijuana. They are the people who give you the medical card that is necessary to go to a legal marijuana dispensary and get the medicine that you need. I also built the website and when the office is fully open and operational (within the next week or so) you all should go there and get what you need…but remember to bring some sort of medical paperwork, this is a legitimate business you know…

Mundays Mascot

He will twista your mustache

I designed the original character for the Mundays event that is held by myself and co workers every third Monday of every month. It usually includes us drinking, smoking ciggarettes, and making Tshirts, so I would have to say it’s pretty awesome. Come through and bring some shirts for us to print on, this next design that’s coming out this Munday is going to be epic to say the least.
