Rhapsodies

This is a favor I did for a friend who does a political blog which deals with a lot of things going on at the University of Washington campus. Because of that for the longest time the blog had a logo that had a strong resemblance to the Uiversity of Washington’s Husky.

Recently he got some threatening letters from a third party pointing out potential copyright issues. It suggested a cease and disist would come soon.

Whatever the issues they were probably doing him a favor since whether the the image was legal or not it was derivative as hell.
I was asked to work on a husky logo that was in no way shape or form the UW mascot. The basic idea I had was something lighter and cuter than UW like the tone of the blog suggested.

I drew a lot of puppies that week.
