Logo Design and Branding for Tahoe Golf Tech

Logo Design

Tahoe Golf Tech contact me because they needed a logo and professional brand. After brainstorming, I created a simple logo that can be small, large, embroidered, and used in most mediums.

Band poster design

I designed a memorabilia piece for the members in my band; somewhat of a simple band poster so that someday I can say to my daughter, "Look, I used to be in a band." Band-poster

Funny 80's Rock Band poster holiday gift

Holiday time is not only for love, laughter, and giving, but also for receiving. And in this case, it was me who was receiving laughter, hour after hour, as I designed this fake poster for a friend as a holiday gift.

It all started when he mentioned that if he had had a rock band in the 1980's, it would have been called "Leftover Pizza." From there, my gears started turning.

I found a stock photo of a fake 80's band and isolated them from their background using Photoshop. I created different background elements using different brushes and effects, giving it the real "80's" feel. Next, I took a picture of my friend from a fishing trip and isolated his face. I then carefully added his face onto the lead signer's face, laughing hysterically the entire time.

For the final touches, I made up some silly text for when and where the "show" would have taken place, adding some essential 80's flair. The final product had us both rolling with giggles upon its unveiling:

Revamping an existing logo without investing thousands

Many companies use their logo throughout all of their company materials, including expensive options such as packaging, signage and vehicle lettering. Moving an entire company over to new logo can therefore become a large investment. However, just because your logo was created several years ago doesn't mean that you can't give it a little makeover, making it fresh and interesting.

Here is an example of how I was able to bring a little more flair into Nor-Cal Floor Design's logo to be used in their print and web marketing materials:

Hand drawn logos are not only unique, but also can be used for extraordinary products and brand awareness. These logos are fun, memorable, and stand out among competitors.
