I wish I knew Kung-Fu

New site!!

2010-02-10T08:32:00.000-08:00

Hello all, Just a quick update to let you know Kung Fu has a new site. Give it a look at htpp://www.iwishiknewkungfu.com

Bronto Mountain Bike Company

2010-02-01T11:51:00.001-08:00

Handcrafted tig-welded steel frames straight out of the woods of Central Oregon. Bikes have lots of moving parts and so does the identity. Head badge, down tube, custom drop outs, just writing about it makes me want to ride. Launching soon so make sure to get your order in. These will sell fast. Get more info at bronto@brontobikes.com. Thank you David for the opportunity to rock this for you.

Handcrafted blankets deserve a handcrafted logo

2010-02-01T11:46:00.000-08:00

Beautifully hand crafted blankets for your little ones. Lolly & Frances is launching on Etsy, check it out and enjoy. We might need to convince them to make blankets in adult sizes.

Introducing the Kung Fu company truck

2010-01-31T22:07:00.000-08:00

1976 Ford F-150 Trailer Special. It has just the right amount of rust and vintage design to make it perfect for me. Not to mention the right price. Okay so its not the most economical but if you don't have any design projects just now, maybe I can mow your lawn or spread some bark.

Twin Army Identity

2010-01-27T19:30:00.000-08:00

My good friend and writer Susan N. has a great company name.

She entrusted me with her identity. Stay tuned for the new site as well.

Thank you Susan!

2010 Starts oh so clean

2010-01-11T14:54:00.000-08:00

Zimzala games was looking for a simple identity that could work over a broad range of game titles. The games promise to be super fun (got to preview a few) and you will be seeing them soon! Thanks Jacobe for the opportunity to help you launch.

Gear Aid Identity

2009-12-16T10:43:00.000-08:00

The ultimate form of Green. Fix your own stuff. Blown zipper,

busted boot, leaky tent, no worries. Look for it in

an REI near you soon. Thanks to Fred and the crew, logos are a blast to work on.

Motofish racing

2009-12-01T16:50:00.000-08:00

Motofish racing had a successful cross season and now its on to the road. The boys wanted something a bit more classic to hit the start line with. Hey Troy "Design the logo, kit and come out and ride" This is where work and play become the same thing. A special thanks to Greg and Chris for trusting me with their look.

Wear the Shirt. Spread the word.

2009-11-08T19:30:00.000-08:00

Richard Tait is one of the most brilliant people I have had the pleasure of working with. He is the founder of boomboom brands. A passionate believer in pursuing dreams, big ideas and the people behind them. He has been a long time supporter of Kung Fu. Have a look at the newly redesigned site. www.boomboombrands.com Special thanks to Don, Ryan, Erin, Brian, Ivy and the man behind the camera Bill Rugen of Motofish images.

The Wonder Forge - Logo and color story

2009-11-02T10:52:00.001-08:00

October was logo month. This was one of a few

that turned out really well. A new identity, a new color

story and a new office. My friends at the Wonder Forge

are going to do great things. And the Scout? Well

Jacobe has a thing for trucks. Funny so do I. Nothing wrong

with recommending a new company rig.

Coming soon to a t-shirt near you

2009-10-22T12:54:00.000-07:00

Designing t-shirts. Love doing it. A quick sample of the new range of t-s for Red Torpedo.

Should be out just in time for Christmas.

Identities are sometimes more play than work.

2009-10-07T09:23:00.000-07:00

I really enjoy creating identities. If they capture the personality of the company or brand - nice job. If they look good on a shirt and people are willing to buy one - even nicer job.

All work and no play - makes for dull design

2009-09-28T22:19:00.000-07:00

It is cross season in the North West. People ask what is the best part of racing your bike? Answer: Having great friends to do it with and sharing the passion when ever possible. Thank you Team Motofish for another great Sunday.

2010 Speedplay product catalog

2009-09-23T17:01:00.000-07:00

Clipped in. I have fallen over more times than I can count.No matter how seasoned you are as a rider it is bound to happen. That aside - Speedplay makes amazing pedals. They look funky, which is precisely why they are perfect. A pedal company. Thats all they do and it shows. Fred man, thanks for the opportunity to work this project.

Zipp 2010 product catalog

2009-09-08T22:23:00.001-07:00

Zipp's story is not about wheels, stems, bars, and cranks. It's about people.

And after working with Andy and the rest of the fine crew at Zipp, I can honestly say there isn't a more true statement.

A nice start to a 3 day weekend.

2009-09-04T12:37:00.001-07:00

September in Seattle = perfect weather for a morning ride.

Motofish - a brand in the making

2009-08-24T12:23:00.001-07:00

Greg and Chris are Motofish. Arguably two of the very best photographers in the business. Name it. Logo it. Design everything for it. That was the dream assignment. Stay tuned for the Motofish cycling kit.

Cover Concepts

2009-08-21T13:11:00.000-07:00

Been working with Colourslide for a bit now. Really good guys and great sound. These are a few of the presented covers. Thanks Dean and Alex for the opportunity.

From the vault #2

2009-08-19T16:47:00.000-07:00

Petzl - Look at the hands of every climber and there is a story to be told. Meet them and their personalities generally match their chosen skill. Big walls, bouldering, free climbing. Put it all together and you tell a unique story that stands out from all the other "just show them hucking something stupid hard" and put our logo on it – crowd.

From the vault

2009-08-17T12:21:00.000-07:00

The challenge: Design a timeless package, inside and out that people would be proud to display. And by the way - It will be the first game sold exclusively in Starbucks.

Identity for a great band

2009-07-28T17:12:00.000-07:00

Client: Everly

Amber and Joy took a leap of faith and asked if I could create a new identity for their band. This is how it turned out. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. If you have a minute go here and listen. http://www.myspace.com/everlysong

boomboom

2009-07-23T10:57:00.001-07:00

Client: boomboom Illustrator: Daniel Peacock

I have had the great pleasure of working with boomboom from the start. The identity came from an idea on a napkin and everything else rolled out from there. Stay tuned for more.

Red Torpedo Look book - Spring Summer 2009

2009-07-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

The 2009 Spring/Summer look book for Red Torpedo came out really nice. Special thanks to the Cretins Motorcycle club for use of their club house, bikes and crew. And to Motofish images for killing it.
