Logos

Julius Scissor has a salon on Locust Street in Philadelphia that he has operated since the 1970's. For this logo redesign I combined existing brand elements with the look of stained glass lettering found in the front of his shop.

The Julius Scissor logo has two alternate layouts and a simplified icon.

Food in Jars is a canning blog written by Marisa McClellan, a Philadelphia canning expert, educator, and jar collector. I created the type from scratch drawing inspiration from the retro look of the jars and the unique typography only found in molded glass. Marisa also wrote a cookbook Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year Round, published in May 2012.

The Sir Harold Deluxe Typeface is based on the idea of pushing the contrast of a serif typeface to the point that the horizontal strokes begin to disappear, leaving the viewer to draw a connection between the shapes.

I use Sir Harold Deluxe, with a few variations, for the banner on my blog, rdesigno.com
