About the new logo.

April 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t; but faux beau has a new logo.  If you haven’t seen it yet:

logo

  • The “FB” is based off of the typeface from Herbert Matter’s logo for the New Haven Railroad.
  • Added the western detailing on the verticals to make it more modern, and give it a more woodblock type vibe.
  • My own handwriting/artist name is in the banner. (Fun fact: my real middle name isn’t Scott)
  • The anchor and compass rose; because I love anything nautical, I grew up on the water, and have a tattoo on my foot of an anchor anyway; so why not?
  • Art nouveau, filigree-style details because art nouveau concepts inspire a lot of my illustrations.

A big thanks to my friend Dylan Tav for inspiration and suggestions for the logo.  Safe to say he “gets” me?
