Mothers Day / Fathers Day

By bhurst on May 22, 2013 in Graphic Design

I don’t post a ton Mariners work on my blog. Actually, I don’t post a ton, period. But, I’ve been having a lot of fun working on some projects lately, so wanted to share some here.

First: Mother’s Day. Hand-drawn script-y script. The final product followed by 2 process shots.

Next: Father’s Day. Just finished up the final mark for what we are calling “Dadfest”. The design brief was basically: make it look like Obey Giant/Shepard Fairey. The final mark, followed by some alternates that didnt make the cut.

City Logos

By bhurst on March 28, 2013 in Graphic Design

In my travels over the past couple years I come across some great city logos. Logos that have stopped me in my tracks and caused me to snap a photo. One such logo is for the city of Lisbon.

The logo is a ship, with two ravens. Its based on the legend(?) of St Vincent – parton of the city. As the story goes, when the Saint died the body was sent to southern Portugal, and the grave – or tomb – was constantly surrounded by ravens. Or being protected by ravens, I guess, depending on how you interpret the story. Later, the king or whoever sent for the remains of Saint Vincent to return to Lisbon. It was loaded on a ship and sailed for Lisbon, ravens following and circling the whole way.

I did a quick search for city logos and put together a few that I felt were excellent. I’m sure a missed some, so please share!

1. Lisbon, Portugal
2. Istanbul, Turkey
3. Stockholm, Sweden
4. Melbourne, Australia
5. Sydney, Australia
6. Prague, Czech Republic
7. Belfast, Northern Ireland
8. Bratislava, Slovakia
9. Tallinn, Estonia

Last week Stephanie and I hosted our first party in our new house. A celebration in honor of Repeal Day…aka the end of prohibition.

Here is a snippet of the invitation I designed.

This just in. Last week I got a package in the mail – a CD that I did the album art for. The artist, God’s Servant, contacted me about some custom lettering for his new release. Here is the result:
