Brief:

Dave Scheidt had a logo sketched by Jess Smart Smiley and wanted another pass at it. I liked the foundation, but wanted to develop the letter forms.

Notes:

The final logo went through one more revision. With the political climate at the time it was decided to get away from the patriotic "red, white, and blue" and make the logo slightly more apolitical.

Brief:

He's a teenage mummy. A lot of the humor comes from being a weirdo in high school and being sort of the odd man out in every situation. Think Freaks and Geeks and 80's teen comedies but with a sort of modern sensibility to it. Not straight homage but a tinge of that flavor.

Notes:

- handwritten or something that would be scribbled in a notebook

- the word Mummy would be big and spooky but fun looking

- the letters being wrapped like a mummy, cartoony with big round letters.
