Chevy Concepts

The Detroit Auto Show recently brought to our attention 2 new concepts Chevrolet is working on targeting youth buyers, I think. Although they are nice looking they still seem to be missing the mark, for me anyway. The CODE 130R looks like they tried to re purpose a new Camaro into a smaller car. Didn’t they do this with the Camaro and Vega back in the 70’s? The other car they introduced, the TRU 140S, although looks cool and I really love the front’s aggressive looks, the shape of the care as a whole reminds me of a current Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Sooooo……

Smash!

I smushed them together. I took the front of the 140 and the rear of the 130. Oh and added new rims ’cause I just do things like that.

Stick’m Up!

Well not your arms but stickers! Decals rather, made from vinyl. We recently got some new equipment and I thought I would test it out. I design logos all the time and always get asked if I can make decals or shirts out of them and I usually tell them I couldn’t or referred them elsewhere. Now I can! I will be doing small t-shirt runs and anything else you can do with vinyl like signs, window lettering and more.

See you thought vinyl went out with the avocado green washer and dryers huh?

Custom Coat

Kevin Ayers of “Ayers Garage” in Springtown,Texas was looking for a logo that help communicate the type of powder coating work he does. He likes antique machinery the best. Doesn’t matter if it’s an car, truck, bike, tractor or even an old WW2 era Plomb ratchet. You want it coated, he can do it.

He is a Fire Fighter and during his off time he is a powder coating fool. You can see some of his work on his blog or his Facebook Page He does really good quality work and I would recommend him to anyone.

Rubba-Dub-Dub!

This was a logo created for another small business owner looking for something real specific. He wanted a “Hot Rod” feel to it but also wanted to include his wheel from his project truck. He builds custom wheel tubs for 67-72 Chevrolet trucks that have been “bagged”, lowered all the way to the ground with air bags and or Z-notching the frame. This style of drop usually required total removal of the wheel tubs or serious modifications. I crated a basic logo (shown above) and a logo her will use on the back of a t-shirt(shown below).

Fit for a King.

Summer time brings on family togetherness. This is perfect for family reunions. Here is a t-shirt design I did for a Texas family starting a new tradition. They decided to have their reunion at the popular Comal River in New Braunfels Texas. If you have never been then you need to take the time and go check it out. The water is cool and the leisure float is very relaxing. for this design I just tried to incorporate fun lettering and a tube on the water. These were screen printed on turquoise cotton t-shirts.

The “Beave”

I was contacted by a local guy looking for a cool “vintage” style logo. After talking to him and getting a good idea of what he was looking for we went with a late 50’s early 60’s style logo. He pretty much let me design it the way I wanted as long as included the valve train form the cam shaft to the valve. It’s came out pretty good I think.

Feeling gassy??

Well maybe not this kind of “gassy”. Here is a logo I cleaned up for a little known group of hooligans that love “Gassers”. Vintage cars with big engines and open headers, various go-fast goodies, and fat tires in the rear and skinny ones up front. They sit higher than than a gangly teenager is tall. They have the fuel economy of a gasoline can. Here is the logo for the “Gas House Gang”.

The 2012 VW Beetle was unveiled today….

Here is my take on it:

This is how we do it

What I did:
Slammed it
Designed a Luggage Rack for it
2-toned it
Tinted the glass soda bottle green
Classic red line tires

What can (Tom) Brown do for you?

Tom Brown set up shop in town next to Bow Wow Barbers in Waxahahcie in the old Mac Salon location. They gave me a call and asked me if I could help out with a logo and of course I was happy to oblige. He’s got new gear and is ready to take your photo now matter what you look like.

A new horizon….

Well the sun is setting on the old logo for Sunset Logisticts, Inc. Here is new one they are going to use. I think it looks more sporty and modern. Please take the time to enjoy it as you see on their sand trucks on DFW highways.
