Logo design for a good cause with my latest brand identity for Phoenix based, The Barbell Saves Project. An Arizona based non-profit project from the good people at @CrossFitUru that provides ex-cons a positive influence through fitness and wellness mentorships in a volunteer program. From the original hand drawn sketch, it was a fun journey designing this logo for their founder #BrandIdentity #LogoDesign #RyanMcKayDesign (at RECREATE MEDIA) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDlC6Wn5x6/?igshid=13djtjif0tphe

Stoked to see my illustration in print form with these @DontKillArt stickers, originally drawn on an iPad and finished up in Illustrator with the @wacom pro, this Freddy DKA die-cut sticker is included with a print and t-shirt combo which seems like a KILLER deal from @DontKillArt #FreddyKrueger #RyanMcKayDesign (at RECREATE MEDIA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu2MZvFla5/?igshid=1dqstpskgdcvx

Fast forward 50 years to 2068 when the @GraphicArtistsGuild compound will be a travel destination for our members to design, create and isolate themselves from the rest of our chaotic society. Located just outside of Bryce Canyon, Utah, the facility will host up to 100 members on a 14 day rotation with all resources sustainably produced on-site, peep the whole image at FB.com/RyanMcKayDesign #3D #DesignConcept #Future #Architecture #DesignABetterWorld #RyanMcKayDesign (at Bryce Canyon National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BroWFkCFEXa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17eetygku6mgw

Never Stop Finding Fonts - Feels good getting the stylus warmed up in Illustrator using the @wacom intous pro back here at @RECREATEmedia in Los Angeles after traveling back and forth from New York & Amsterdam the last 60 days #Illustrator #Wacom #Fonts #DesignABetterWorld #RyanMcKayDesign (at RECREATE MEDIA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brizkfkloju/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3z3r7b5ly4et

Custom RC letters for my logo client out of Arizona who has now used @RECREATEmedia for his last 4 brand identity projects over the last 5 years. Going from sketches, to Illustrator, to Cinema 4D and finishing in Photoshop is definitely the magic creative combo when designing logos #LogoDesign #DesignABetterWorld #RyanMcKayDesign (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpsM4-TlCLY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12xcgrb95s91m
