I'm not sure if werewolves like to play with their food. Haven't had the pleasure or opportunity to ask.This collection of marks, logos and pack designs is evidence that I like to play with mine. Figuratively speaking anyway. My way of staying sharp, playing with new ideas and my means of entertainment when there's nothing good on TV.
RESPECT THE BADGE(S)
I'm a lifelong Liverpool FC (football/soccer) supporter. I love their badge. It means a lot to me. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than a lot of the ones I see in the Premier League and elsewhere. This is a 'modest' collection of badges and kits I've redesigned that I felt needed some design love.

BOOTS, BONNETS & BADGES
Working on Porsche will turn any designer into a car nerd. I'm pretty certain of that. Especially if your ancestors immigrated from Germany and Italy...apparently. Over the past eight years, I've developed a (healthy...I think...) infatuation with European automotive design. I've been to a number of car shows and car club meetups, taken photos of European sports cars I see on the street wherever I go and made a point to go to the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy when I was on vacation there with my family. Through all of this, I've also seen a few car badges that are poorly designed and/or dated. Below are a few I redesigned along with the badge currently being used.

PACK IT IN
I'm one of those suckers who bases their purchase decisions on pack design. Especially if the 'thing' is going to be visible to me and/or house guests on the regular. If given two choices, I will almost always choose an average bottle of Pinot with a nicely designed label over a nice one with a shit or unimpressively designed label. So, operating on that standard, my pack designs are aimed at selling the goods, whether it's an average or excellent product.

I elected to eject the queen and Mumbai's previous moniker in favor of honoring India's present instead of its empirical past.
DESIGN BUFFET. ALL YOU CAN EAT (WITH YOUR EYES).
I design on a daily basis. If I don't have a client project to work on, I give myself a project to work on. Which results in a veritable buffet of 'design stuff'. You'll find that stuff below.

I declined to perpetuate the historic inaccuracy of the viking with a horned helmet. The horns were added for an opera for dramatic effect in Wagner's 1876 opera "Der Ring des Nibelungen"
