UZUMAKI – Performance Parts Logo

Logo design for Uzumaki – Automotive Performance Parts. This is a specialised on-line import parts business about to launch in March this year. I will post the URL when the business launches. Uzumaki means spiral in japanese and we went for a very fast looking and cool looking typographic style. This is a 100% vector design created in Adobe illustrator to facilitate decals in a variety of sizes uses with some variations for the web and merchandise. These guys take their cars and racing very seriously and the business will have an big emphasis on customer service.

I had these picks made for promo for the website and for a bit of fun. I have been meaning to make up a bunch of picks for some time.

Giving these plectrums out with my demo as promo.

The Last Metal for the Brain T-Shirt 2006

Front and back T-Shirt designs for Metal for the Brain 2006. Designed in Illustrator as vectors and produced good prints, I forget how many we made, several hundred I think. It was the first year with a big shift in demand for small sizes, In the mid 90′s we hardly sold any small shirts. Times change.
