These aren't a process, as in - I didn't start with the top one and work down until I came to the last one. I'm just messing around with placement.

Also, the dog is an English Mastiffffffff.

I like the second one best. It's the most pleasing to my commercial-addled teenage mind.

Made the 2nd one for you better =o

I like the second best. I personally think the "R" needs to be filled in some more, though.

Good work.

i posted a new one at the bottom =o

My favorite still stands.

Also, for some reason this reminds me of Corona.



I think it's the font. No idea why this one alone reminds me of it. abbcdea

haha, i guess it's a similar color, and both fonts are some sort of old english

Update:

So this is what I ended up with as a whole. The mark's color is interchangeable depending on its application. The primary mark, by the way, is the circle and mastiff and not including the name. The mark is to be set alone on most applications and be recognized by the mark alone. Similar to if one would see:

You realize that it's Element without having to read the name Element anywhere.

looks nice and simple, I like it.

Second and fourth are the best for me. Simple and nice! Very eye-catching.

Just updating to say, that since this whole topic is basically about my senior thesis, that I got a hold of Cole Barash and his studio manager yesterday and they're totally allowing me to use Cole's photos for my thesis project. (Cole is one of the world's top snowboarding photographers). I'm using a lot of photos from Cole's "Split Second Snow" portfolio from his website.

fuck.yes.

my favorite photo

change airdog to ghostdog

First piece done or at least 95% done.

It's an 18"x24" poster that hangs in-store.



The quote (which is really drawn back, and on purpose) is a parody of a famous quote. It says:

It's not the size of the dog in the flight, it's the size of the flight in the dog.

(Obviously it's a parody on Mark Twain's quote about the 'fight' of a dog instead.) Fight was changed to flight to mimic the whole campaign and obvious followthrough from the name of the company "Airdog".

Update.

Working on my skateboards now. I just finished the first one. I love it!

The quote (which is really drawn back, and on purpose) is a parody of a famous quote. It says:

The angle the dog is on irks me, Is there a reason he's on an angle?

I absolutely love that skateboard, looks awesome. Good work.

board 2 up!

This is so the work you were born to do, dude. I dig the crossbones one, myself.
