T-Bo Knows Prayer

Friday, November 18th, 2011

Bo knows baseball, but T-Bo knows prayer! Based on Nike’s “Bo Knows” ads (from 1990) for their cross-training shoes, here’s a parody update with Tim Tebow praying. Cross-training indeed!

Photo image: Tim Tebow prays right after scoring the dramatic winning touchdown on November 17, 2011. Parody ad bonus: Reebok and Nike logo confusion.
More Tebowing.

What a week for Buckeye Nation. After Jim Tressel’s resignation, we now try to figure out if he’s good or bad. This reminds me of another good/bad icon, Darth Vader–whom the younger generation sees as generally good, but the older generation does not.
After the OSU press conference debacle earlier in the year, it was obvious [...]

Super Bowl XLV: Packers Gold = Steelers Gold

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

The Packers and Steelers share the same yellow gold color, Pantone 1235:

This would make a decent flag…

Another flag option, a horizontal tricolor:

Jamaica flag!

KSO 2009 brochure

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Here’s the cover of a brochure I designed for the Kentucky Symphony’s new subscription series. This season the orchestra will be performing in venues all over Northern Kentucky, so the solution for the cover is a “law firm” name of the three counties and a map of the counties with the Ohio River.

GM’s new divisions (banana republic style)

Monday, April 27th, 2009

If this were a banana republic, the recent removal of GM’s CEO and board would open up all kinds of possibilities—like renaming the divisions for cabinet members! Here are some revised logos with actual (often humorous) taglines.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gets Chevrolet, the largest brand.

Vice President Joe Biden, the old guy, gets Buick—the maker [...]

KSO Gala

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Here’s a sign I designed for the Kentucky Symphony’s annual Gala. (The ladies here—I think they were Ben-Gals—did not know this, and I didn’t mention it.) When they asked if I wanted to be in the picture with them, I replied “No thanks.” Thankfully, they did not cover up the sign–otherwise I would’ve had to [...]

Flip-flopping the candidates’ logos

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Here’s what happens when the logos and fonts are switched for the candidates…

“WHAT?! The symbol of hope and change being used for old McCain? He’d be the oldest president ever at 72! 72 years, people! This design is a mockery! A travesty!”

“WHAT?! A military look for two guys with no military experience? The last time [...]

Opening Ceremonies!

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Wow, it’s finally here–the launch of my full website. THANK YOU to everyone who has offered encouragement to me over the past many months. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaking of Opening Ceremonies, it seems that the British Embassy still issues passports with the name “Peking”. So, here’s an alternate “Anglicized” Olympic logo. [...]

The epic adventure is here.

Steve Sjogren business cards

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I originally did this as a joke for Steve Sjogren, but he loved it and wanted cards printed up. And yes, he has cleaned a whole lot of toilets.
