Capturing the Spirit of Competition – Hereford High School Bull Run T-Shirt Design

The Bull Run event is an annual highlight, known for its challenging cross-country course and the fierce competition it attracts. With that in mind, our goal was to create a design that embodied the dynamic and unstoppable energy of the runners, while also paying tribute to the iconic symbol of Hereford: the Bull. The result is a T-shirt that not only celebrates the race but also the rich tradition and pride of being a Hereford Bull.

Liberty High School Marching Band T-Shirt Design – A Dark Twist on a Classic Tale

Liberty High School Marching Band T-Shirt Design – A Dark Twist on a Classic Tale

In Silverstein’s original story, we witness a tree that selflessly gives everything it has to a young boy as he grows up, embodying the themes of generosity and unconditional love. But what happens when we shift the perspective? What if, instead of focusing on the tree’s giving, we examine the boy’s relentless taking? This darker interpretation of the story inspired Liberty High School’s new theme, turning the narrative on its head to explore the concept of greed.

Hampstead Maryland Restaurant Logo Design

I was beyond excited when they reached out to me for new branding. Restaurant logos and pretty coveted and are just a solid and perfect addition to a portfolio. Restaurant logos do get a lot of face-time with customers and make a huge first impression for people, they are a teeny bit more special than other industries identity, in my opinion of course, because food is life.

What Should I Receive When I Buy a Logo?

I have been working with several small Carroll County, Maryland businesses this month on logos. One located in Westminster, MD, one in Sykesville, MD, Upperco, MD, and the other in Hampstead, MD. I always walk all of my customers through what they will be receiving once their logo is complete, and I am always surprised when they don’t realize that they get so many different logo versions and file types.
