The Hunt for a great logo


I have never been a hunter, but sometimes you have to step outside of your box in design. That is the mark of a good designer - being able to jump from whimisical children's designs to professional healthcare designs to rugged outdoor designs.

I recently worked on the third of those three. This is my second time working on a hunting site, and we worked until we got it all just right. This new business start-up needed a new logo design and website for Davis Outdoor Adventures in Texas. He wanted something he could use that was sharp and bold and that would appeal to his clientele. He also wanted a symbol that could stand alone. Above is what we finalized. The green antlers can stand alone or be used as the V in conjunction with the full name. I am happy with how it turned out, as well as the website. Check it out www.davisoutdooradventures.com

Head on over to his site. You never know...you may just find yourself ready to hunt a hog!:)

Another SSN in the books


It was another successful Summer Songwriter Night in Peggy's Field. I can always feel my grandmother's presence out there, especially this night, as it is an event she loved. It was an exciting one to welcome a legendary guitar player, songwriter and performer Steve Cropper. I was lucky enough to get a picture with the musical genius while holding a signed poster that I designed. The banner I created hung on the barn and is now going to a new home in Nashville with Croppers crew. It is always fun to meet the artist whose songs were the inspiration behind the designs. I feel fortunate for the opportunity to work with Edward Moore on this great event. A highlight each year for sure!
