The Design District

Revised and updated logo for the 80s-90s game show Double Dare. I missed this show the first time around, but it has been brought back for live Nickelodeon events. Top logo is the original (not by yours truly) and the new logo, below. This was a fun project and I like how it turned out, thanks to helpful art direction from the folks at Nick.

My favorite posters I designed for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ride at Mall of America.

Completed a few projects for the recently launched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ride at Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America, in Minnesota (which incidentally broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS for the largest gathering of ninja turtles!).

I designed the branded logo, for marketing and print, based on the ride sign created by another designer. Also worked on signage for the ride queue which features words of wisdom by Master Splinter. I will post more of the signs soon, as they need to be appreciated in their full glory.

How about this weather? It seems like heaven here in the Catskills. I’ve got a backlog of projects and wanted to start with a branding kit I completed for SUNY Oneonta.

This kit was created to promote the upcoming Summer Session and includes posters, broadcast email templates, a mailer, bus signage and other collateral.

A shiny, dimensional, blingy logo for SpongeBob’s ParadePants live show. Coming near you, if you happen to live in a land down under, to Nickelodeon Central at Dreamworld, in Australia.

Surface graphics for the premiere Nickelodeon “SpongeBob At Sea” launch in Asia, which occurred Nov-Dec 2011. Top: Back wall for a daycare center. Middle: Photo Op back wall featuring SpongeBob and room for a schedule of daily events. Bottom: Pool enclosure layout. All designs are art direction mock ups except for the Photo Op wall, which is a mechanical.

Signage concepts for a hotel cafe. This was a fun project that went through many iterations, beginning with some black and white concepts (top of image), through neutral with some color in between.

Of particular note is the “C”-swirl, which represents foam or an ice cream twist as seen from above. Also the fill in the ice cream icons is comprised of overlapping heart shapes for some subliminal desert love.

Ultimate Sliming logo, created for the Nickelodeon Cruise and co-sponsor Stride Rite. This event took the term ‘immersive’ to new levels as guests were literally doused poolside with Nick’s famed SLIME. Replicating 3D and extruded vector type has become one of my specialties.

Final poster for SUNY Oneonta Slam series. This is for the Grand Slam competition and it will be fierce! This project was a lot of fun and I think these improved throughout the run. Apparently these won an award for something, but I don’t have the details on who with yet. Will follow up with info. Thanks to my friend Robb and everyone at SUNY Oneonta who have been nothing short of great to work with!
