ShareThisBig KRIT RLT Logo Project Process November 2nd, 2012
It may come as a surprise to some but we here at MAKE. are huge hip hop fans, like huge huge. For example, one of us can acapella rap the lyrics to Eminem’s ‘B. Rabbit v. Papa Doc’ (Abby) and the other listens to an unhealthy amount of hip hop (Jesse, I love the stuff). That being said, when we received word that we had the opportunity to do some logo design work for Big K.R.I.T., who has frequented our airwaves constantly for the past 2 years, we were elated to say the least! Below we will take you through some of the logo design process, show some of the presented concepts and disclose a bit about how the project panned out. Sadly, it wasn’t good.
