Working Late…
October 3, 2007 
… again. But at least I think I have finalized a project that’s been hanging around my neck for awhile.
The Yukon Quest Pin/Patch/T-shirt design.
It’s been one of those jobs that I just couldn’t “find time for.” Which is a real delay tactic in my creative itinerary. Painful procrastination. Most time I can crash into the perfect answer… but this one just wasn’t coming.
Weeks ago, I started with a silly bunch of concepts and offered this to the client.
Needless to say, they didn’t go for it.
Tonight, I was able to concentrate and have sent this off to the client. We’ll see….
I’m off home. My own dogs need caring for.
The 25 YQ is cool, but the dog is wrong. Sled dogs have changed. They are slim, long legged with flat coats. They look focused and strong.
Try again, your layouts are fab.
You’re right. The trend of slimmer, more hound-like sled dogs are what we see on the trail, but as a “concept” using this art was the quickest way to have a visual conversation with the client. We’ve decided to go with just a dog’s head as a result of these sketches. You’ll see it soon as finished art on the arm of your local musher!
Interesting! Logo design is one of those skills I envy in others– it’s hard work that demands persistence and patience. I look forward to seeing the final result!
