Surely you jest, good sir!

Two weeks without a blog post? This will not stand!
In the interim, I’ve travelled to and from the fine city of Melbourne, whereupon I dined on many a fine cuisine, and supped upon many a fine snifter of firewater. I also spent some amazing times with mine chums and families. Kindly observe myself and the missus, Melbourne-side, wearing our finest spats and glad rags:
I’ve been working on a few logos, some real, some imaginary. Here’s one of the latter:
I guess it’s for a beer. Padre Pio has been one of my favourite figures of piety ever since I realised he bore a striking resemblance to one Obi-Wan Kenobi. I once had a web-page dedicated to the similarities between the two (no foolin’), but alas, GeoCities had it deleted due to lack of views.
And if you head on over to The Krankiboy Khronicles, you’ll find a new logo I did for an old chum in San Francisco. He also takes some great photos!
Here are some sketches I did of hipster girls:
I think that’s it for now. I’ll try and keep the posts more regular!
Salut!

It’s no secret to those who followed my old blog that I sometimes like to invent make-believe companies and design logos for them. In fact, a certain percentage of the logos on the Identity Design page of my website are, in fact, “faux”, as the French would say.
So tonight, instead of working on the logos I have pending for real clients, I invented another make-believe business and designed a logo for it. Nothing too extravagant, but I think this comes off looking somewhat prestigious (due in part to the name which I borrowed from a certain book about a certain chocolate factory):
Thoughts?
How about you, dear reader? Can you come up with an interesting sounding company name that I can logo-ize? You don’t need to specify what the company does, but that helps. Please leave your ideas at the door and kindly leave without making a mess. Thankyou.
