Updating a logo

Some damn good design at the Levis store. Does an excellent job communicating and guiding someone through what would normally be a confusing experience of learning Levi’s-specific terms.

Took a shot at modifying hot wheels. I’ve wondered if it was possible for 20-some years now and finally started drilling out some rivets.

Modified on the left (new wheels, shaved wing) and stock on the right.

Final product:

I recently had the opportunity to redesign the twitter background for @AlisonRosen who podcast fans would know from the Adam Carolla Show. Hopefully this will help augment the sarcasm and general punnery that this young lady deals out on a daily basis.

One of my designs was featured on Got Print’s blog – if you haven’t used Got Print, check them out. There’s no place I’ve found that can print for better prices.

I was able to swing by Rally Innovations yesterday to catch up with some old friends and got a sneak peek at their new Evo Soul catalog that I designed a while back. Came out looking pretty snazzy in print!

Rally innovations produces aftermarket parts for Subarus, Mitsubishis (only the good ones) and the Nissan GT-R.

THANKSBRO – Back in Print

Author: Colin | Filed under: Creativity, Print

 

In any form of motorsport, finding sponsors isn’t exactly easy. Having a quick media package on yourself to hand out can make life easier. I did this 3-pager for Formula Drift / Megan Racing driver Cyrus Martinez, who needed something that would be a quick professional read for sponsors to hand out at SEMA, but not so lengthy that it felt impersonal.

Using a short intro proposal like this is a smart move to get your foot in the door when starting relationships with companies. Keep in mind, a full-length (media and number heavy) proposal should always accompany a specific proposal.

This popped into my email today:

“The biz card you made me just won me free flamebroiler.

I dropped the card in & the girl liked the design and said it’d be easy to pick out next time she did the drawing. I guess good design = free food”

Latest project that was referred to me from a friend of a friend for a quick logo design. Type up top is a pentool freehand creation, and down below is helvetica condensed 47. This would look pretty mean on the side of the supra it’s going on, eh?

This product is actually pretty darn cool. It was developed by Sam down at Platinum Strands for folks that enjoy a good campfire, firefighters, and pretty much anybody that loves being around a flame but doesn’t want their hair to smell like it for the next week. It’s designed to wash the smokey smell out of your hair.. pretty cool! Can’t wait to give it a try.

Here’s part of the final logos I put together:

Happy Belated Easter

Back in January I got somewhat of an emergency call about a website that needed to be up for a big meeting the next day. A few minutes after I got off the phone I had a hefty word document and a bunch of pictures start to flow into my inbox.

Luckily enough I had no plans for the night :)

The idea was to build something that could:
-Visually convey the idea of how a new product works
-Create a full website with limited resources on hand
-Use a pallet that would be appealing to construction professionals

Here’s the result:
