This is a preview I did for the game Crysis 2, published in the July 2010 issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine.

Logo design: Secret Project

Some former co-workers and I have begun developing an idea for an animated series - I don't want to give too much away regarding the plot or subject matter, but it revolves around a group of misfit characters in a rock band. I began sketching character designs, and while working on the drummer figure, I realized the band needed a cool logo to emblazon on the front of the bass drum (and to sell to kids on t-shirts!).

Logo design: Party Dodgeball

When I inherited Party Dodgeball -- a NYC co-ed dodgeball league -- my business partner and I made the decision to keep the existing logo for the sake of continuity and familiarity to our existing players. Unfortunately, we both disliked it and felt it wasn't the best way to market the business or build a brand.

Now that we've been in charge for over a year, we're in the early phases of logo and website redesign. I wanted to develop something fresh but with a retro flair, and came up with this colorful design playing off the "PD" initials. The intention was to subliminally suggest dodgeballs with the red color and the circular design.

For t-shirts, we require a black-and-white design, so I reworked it slightly and came up with the version below. It's still a work in progress, but so far I'm quite pleased with it.
