Over the holiday break I was able to travel home for a brief visit. I spent most of my time with my parents and my (at the time) very pregnant sister. Being away for as long as I have now, these small visits mean to the world to me. The same thing goes for spending time with my…

My good friend Greg (the same Greg from the post “I Once Was Funny”) surprised me with this great picture. Whenever anybody makes me look this cool, I start to believe I really am. Thanks Greg, my ego needed this.
My Good Friend Nic Kanaar has a website called www.speakloserspeak.com (you probably know this because i have been constantly shoving it down your throats for weeks, and months. Your Welcome by the way.) Well full disclosure, I have partnered with Speak Loser Speak (SLS) in a creative venture. I am designing a Logo for SLS and original artwork for some of the blog posts on the site. Nic and I feel this will gives us an opportunity to grow creatively. (Dont worry, no hippie commune bullshit.) No, We believe by pulling our collective talents together we can provide stronger creative content. (Though Nic doesn’t need any help creating strong content.)
Below are the Logo designs we have come up with, as well as some original artwork. It is our goal in this post to get your feeback. Which is your favorite? What are your ideas about the logo? How Do you think they could be improved?
feel free to contact me Ben Matherly at bnmath22@gmail.com with any suggestions or thoughts.
The Original.
This is the original, Nic found this on the web and I vectored it so that we could use it any other things. We like it, however we think we can go a completely original route.
The Close Up
I like this, but I don’t feel it fits the look we are going for.
The Toss
This is my Favorite because I feel like it carries the free flowing whimsy that is complimentary to SLS’s content.
Drinking Buddies
This is another great on. I really like this one, mainly because i took a photo of Nic, and Adam (a friend) and silhouetted them to fit in the style of the original logo mark. What do you think?
I Used To Be In A Band
We are planning on turning this into a T-shirt that will be available in the fall.

Due to my unpopularity, it only seemed right to answer a few questions that have never been asked to me.
1. Why are you so smooth?
Believe it or not, I’m not that smooth. Recently I was in a public mall bathroom dealing with some chinese food I had consumed thirty minutes prior when a…

After a few months of adjusting to my new life in Arkansas, and after an intense employment search, I was finally able to land one of my dream jobs. I was hired by the local library to fulfill a position at the circulation desk (I know ladies, just when you thought I couldn’t get any…
