After being responsible for the shop's logo since the beginning, I've finally decided to pass the buck onto someone far more talented than myself. Don't get me wrong; I've liked making the various logos for the shop(s) over the years. But... with all of the other work I am doing for the shop, the con, and my own works (freelance and private), I have not had any time to really devote to upgrading our defining "brand", so to speak. To be perfectly honest, too, I've felt that I had designed myself into a bit of a corner. Being too close to the subject on a daily basis has not helped me start fresh, and like any artist, I'm never happy with what I come up with...
Enter Chris Bishop, an artist and designer from Washington D.C. that I came across a while ago. In fact, I'm sure some of you out there are familiar with his work... anyone remember the t-shirt with the two unicorns making sweet, sweet love under a rainbow? He did that.
Anyway, I've dug his simple style of work since day one, and figured it couldn't hurt to have someone completely removed from The Comic Stop to give it a go. Well, after a couple of months of back and forth and tweaking, here are the end results:

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Nice work!
That's quite a new look for the shop. Kinda snazzy!
So do we all get buttons?
Brian!!! It's Amie. :) I tracked you down on the web - muhahahaha.
Hey you, I am going to hit the Emerald City Comic Con this year, so I will definitely find your booth. Are you planning on working it both days???
It's been too long, my friend.

EICH OH DOUBLE TEE HOTT!
Totally dig 'em! And I agree, you SHOULD get buttons made.
I'm glad to hear that everyone digs the new logo.
I'm definitely having some t-shirts made up for sale, but buttons hadn't occurred to me... I'll have to look into that. I was thinking about stickers, though...
The new logo looks great & the "black bubbles" are sort of an homage to Jack Kirby, sweet!
