2014 SAL Golf Tournament Tshirt Design

I had a request to re-visit the gopher theme from many years ago. Here it is.

2013 SAL Golf Tournament Tshirt Design

Another entry into the annual tournament tshirt design archives.

Sadowski Enterprise

Here is a redesign for a local contractor. His business card got the job done, but I couldn't wait to improve on it and add some personality. I started with a logo design using the initials of the company, a simple solution using the typeface Black Oak. I modified the "S", adding a hammer head, and added a subtle gradient. The company name is set in Univers Bold Extended. I also rewrote the tag line so it didn't begin with the word "no". The tagline and name are set in a script typeface called Italianno. The phone number is set in Aachen, and a gradient was also added to it. I chose it because it has big, thick serifs that complimented the logo well. The email address is set in Univers Light. Notice how I capitalized "Enterprise" so it would be more easily read. The background is a royalty free stock image from Thinkstock. It is a photo of a plastered wall with a shadow being cast from a metal screen of some sort. I really liked the warm glow of the photo. I added a reverse beveled white background with a drop shadow and brought back the opacity so the background texture peaked through. A postcard was also designed to tie into the business card design perfectly. I also put together a very simple website: www.sadowskienterprise.com.

Enlow Auto Care

This client asked me if I could "do something" with his business card. I took the star and "e" combination of the existing logo and created a new one. The grunge blue background was added for color and interest. The logo rests on top and has a slight transparency. The reversed text at the bottom gives it a nice foundation.

Cathie Beck Public Relations

My very talented friend, Cathie Beck, contacted me about designing a logo for her new public relations venture. She is an accomplished writer and journalist, and wanted a simple design incorporating her initials. I chose the Tiffany typeface for it's classic serif. I especially liked the unique look of the "e" and "k". Two subtle colors were used to give it a timeless, traditional feel.

A Facebook cover image was also created to give a more visual representation of the business offerings. The same two colors were utilized in the background image and duotones were created.

Golf Tournament 2011

Logo for another t-shirt design. The font used on "Fore!" is Harliquin with a modified capital "F." "19th Annual" and "June 12, 2011" are set in a fun text called Jiggy Roman. I usually don't like to mix two different fonts that are so unique, but the word "Fore!" kind of took on a life of its own as a graphic element and didn't compete much. Remaining text is set in Impact.

Golf Tournament 2012

Here is a logo I created for Boulder SAL Squadron 10 for their annual golf tournament. The typeface is Poor Richard. This logo was printed on the back of t-shirts and promotional material.
