A chiaroscuro look seemed thematically appropriate for this sports logo I finished recently, and I thought it would be a good chance to experiment. One of my favorite things about these logo designs is the way you're forced to limit your color usage because of the silkscreening process that's later used to print them--not only because the advance planning is an interesting challenge, but also because I feel like it forces me to make much bolder choices than I normally would, which I often end up being much more pleased with than I expected.
An earlier, rejected sketch. The "monster sandwich" with the words in the final version is much more interesting.
