    ReMod Media

    January 28, 2008

    ReMod Media is a production company focusing on online TV content and the like. The concept for the logo was to create a character who was quirky, yet sophisticated with a nod to history. It was a lot of fun fusing together the helmet of bizarre contraptions, not to mention, when animated he looks amazing. The ReMod’ers lovingly named him “Barneby”.

    Aaron’s favorite drummer in the world (okay, and tight friend) has a sweet new side project. When Fred Eltringham in’s beating the skins for likes of The Wallflowers and The Dixie Chicks, he’s kicking out quirky noisy catchy sounds with The Get You, we knocked out this logo (and few others) for him:

    Jill Sobule and the Provocateurs

    January 28, 2008

    When Jill Sobule isn’t writing pop nuggets and kissing girls (yikes—did we really say that? Sorry Jill!), she’s probably updating her killer blog. In honor of both we designed this logo for her:
