Blue Tongue
logo, cover art, & merch applications
Blue Tongue is an Austin based funk fusion collective. Their music is served with equal parts funk, psych and electrifying live performances. I've known Blue Tongue for going on six years now and have witnessed their talent, passion and growth in the Austin music scene.
the challenge
Create logo, sticker, hand-drawn typography and cover artwork for local band Blue Tongue. Solutions should be eye catching and representative of the music genre. Apply solutions to merchandise.
logos
Over the years I've made a few interchangeable logo applications for the band. I hand draw each one before vectorizing them and creating different variations.
cover art
I've made a few designs for singles releases over the years as well as the art for their debut album, Aurelia.
reflection
I've been making designs here and there for Blue Tongue for the past few years. I think including this work is important because it not only most representative of my personal style, but also because it shows my flexibility, adaptability and a bit of my evolution in working with the same people for a few years. Having started working for them before I really began my journey as a designer, I've made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot from having to teach myself something on the fly. I can look back on this work and see my own growth. I would love opportunities to create work for more musicians and creatives in the future.
