Smashinistas Jersey Design

Some rough-and-tumble, roller derby ladies were having a tough time coming up with a new logo for their jerseys. A few ideas had been submitted, but not everyone in the group was ready to proclaim any of them a winner.

Polkadot YR Eyeout is a personal friend of Tripp Co. Creative’s owner and approached him to help. He loves being of service in a pinch, especially for really fun projects like this one.

Tripp Co. took the basic idea that had already been presented and refined and redesigned it. The Smashinistas have a “princess militia” theme to their uniforms, so the final logo had to reflect their image. The splatters on the logo work out well because they could be read as sweat or blood (these girls are tough) by the spectators. The type has and unmistakable military feel and the pink was chosen to coordinate with the trim intheir uniforms.

So roll on over to see the “Smashies” sometime, and make sure to look at their breasts… to admire the logo of course.

Operation tribute To Freedom Collage

Operation Tribute to Freedom (OTF), a program of the U.S. Army, shares the stories of Soldiers who have or are currently serving in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The program connects these Soldiers with their local communities through speaking and appreciation events, as well as media outreach. When the program started the Army wanted to emphasize the personal stories of the soldiers and their families. The materials are intended to be a “scrap book” of sorts. With handwritten notes, taped on photos, etc. Banners were created to send to events across the country, and as the snapshot shows, they were used as a backdrop for Josh Gracin as he performed at an OTF event.

 Chosen poster concept

The Sheldon Concert Hall wanted to host an event where corporate bands (band formed by employees of local companies) could battle it out and showcase their talent. They needed a poster designed to promote this special event to a wide range of potential ticket purchasers including the band co-workers, donors and benefactors and current and visitors to the Sheldon. The goal was to capture the essence of the event–quirky, fun and irreverent. The Sheldon’s acoustics make it a  perfect venue for the driving rythms and pounding beats that these bands produced .
