Trick Button

I think Jay Howell posted this a while back… my turn… new logo for Restaurant Cotton. I work with Jay on several of his projects and he always gets the best from me… countless revisions and a lot of sleepless nights as I contemplate if I should murder him or not … but alls well that ends well. Thanks, man. Keep 'em coming.

Here's a vehicle wrap I designed recently for Mr. Discount Drugs Inc - thanks to Signs Now Monroe, La for their always stellar work installing it (and for sending me the gig in the first place).

Here's a logo I did for the soon-to-be-open Max Porter Provisions located on antique alley. They were after a clean, classic and masculine look that could be branded across several products. The shop will have a mix of men's clothing, accessories and if all goes well, they may even have a couple paintings of mine gracing the walls (and for sale). Thanks to Cassie Livingston for coming to me with this one.

I've designed various things over the years - swim trunks, a whack-a-mole console… but this is my first sit-down arcade. If you haven't been to Okaloosa yet (311 hudson lane, monroe), you're missing out on quite the unique experience. Thanks to Jay Howell for this one.

This was a fun one. A group of local cyclists needed to brand their team - they already had a great name, just needed a logo slash illustration to go with it. This badboy went through a few revisions; if interested, visit www.trickbutton.com to see the original version which takes the gore component up a notch (or two). Thanks to Scott Greenwood for coming to me with this one.

I design a couple car wraps every year. Here's one I did for Paramount Healthcare Consultants - I thought it turned out pretty good. And thanks to my homies from Signs Now Monroe, La for production, installation and hooking me up with the job.

So I rarely self-promote but I thought I would take advantage of a slow day to show a few things I've created lately. A couple designs for Flying Tiger Brewery and a poster for Chennault Aviation & Military Museum - Thanks to all friends and clients who come to me with this stuff. I'll post a few more later in the week including a logo I did recently that might be one of my favorites, ever.

I wish I would've written this - I've been preaching it for nearly a decade.

Why do so many brands change their logos and look like everyone else? Tech and fashion logos are becoming increasingly similar, all of them using sans serif fonts. Why do they do that? And why it doesn't make sense.

Here's a truck/trailer wrap I designed for Hogg Boss. Thanks to Kory Gilbert for coming to me with this project. This badboy looks mean - love it. And big shout to the always dependable Signs Now Monroe, La for production.

Pleased to design the Vietnamese Coffee label for Standard Coffee Co. These badboys hit the streets this week - run by Standard to pick one (or several) up.

The first 3 designs I did for Flying Tiger Brewery were the Amber, the IPA, and the Blonde… I've learned a lot about the art of can design over the years and I'm happy to say that each of those has gotten a facelift. When the time is right, we'll unveil them all - in the meantime… ladies first.

I do a lot of work for events that the city puts on, Downtown RiverMarket stuff mostly. If we can ever get a certain pandemic under control, you'll see the following designs available on shirts in the near (hopefully) future. Shout out to Myra.
