Valley of the Vapors VOV 2021 logo

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to create a typographic design for the 2021 Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival in Hot Springs, AR for Low Key Arts.

 I designed the main logo, and the blocky 'VOV' logo and it's extruded form that can be seen elsewhere in their web campaign. The background was created by another designer. (will credit when I find out)

Here is the design, implemented in their web campaign.

Day job stuff: Brochures, banners, sun screens

Day job stuff. I designed the logo, catalogs and some of the decals featured in them.

There is also a gargantuan, matching banner (no photo) for a trade show, and apparently it was adapted to a car window sun screen (see below).

Bella Novela - New Album (Telemetry) and website

Angelus Pacific Co. logo

Here is work for hire logo I did recently for a decal (among other printed items) manufacturer called Angelus Pacific Co. The brief suggested a mountain top, sunlight, majesty and existing logo examples containing overlapping transparent color elements.
The company name can roughly mean peaceful angel. The A implies a pinnacle with circling clouds/fog giving it height. The encircling oval also implies the halo symbolic of an angel, and forms the upper portion of the P.

Lake Dolores - Military patch style design

Here is a design I did for the Long Beach musical duo known as Lake Dolores under the band's direction. The brief specified inclusion of octopus with fighter pilot helmet, lightning bolt, trident, dead fly, and gold atom in a military style patch.

There is word of this going on shirts and possibly actual embroidered patches (which will make me ecstatic), but... we shall see.

Project Shepherd logo

I received a copy of the Project Shepherd CD.

A long time ago, I made a flyer for one of their shows. At the request of the singer, I made a simplified logo of the image. That logo has finally surfaced on their CD and Facebook page, and rumor has it, hopefully/soon on some T-shirts...

Here's a pic of the package with front cover painting by Mear One.

The logo I did is on the disc & back of sleeve.
