One of my favorite videos of all time, Masterfully shot in black and white to make QB look like Beirut. Very bleak colors and slow cuts to match the beat. A classic feel to it.

I developed a few new logos this weekend, the thought was to repeat the S, being that its repetitive in the name of the company, with that overlapping sequence. I wanted to express forward movement/progress. Also while developing I considered the letter cuts to be able to add colors in an effort to separate the 3 S's. making it a one or tri-color print. Here are 3 of the 20 or so that I created.
