Description:
This was designed for a video distributor. The idea was to capture the golden era of film by putting the logo in the context of the Art Deco movement which was popular at the height of Hollywood's glamor.

Wow! Sick train illustration - nicely done! Type looks a little too large/chunky IMO and detracts somewhat from the train, but overall it's great.

ReplyThe idea was to capture Leslie Ragan's artwork obviously.
ReplyI did use a previously created illustration from that era as a template. But then spent four hours in Adobe Illustrator stylizing and cleaning it up so that it would reproduce well at various sizes. My most ambitious vector illustration to date. I'm sure a blowup of the train in a side-by-side comparison with the original would help make the distinction.
