The Mashup of F**ckery
This library logo mashup goes out to my fellow Our Flag Means Death fans. Click on either image to get the full-sized version that you can download and use. Enjoy!
Being “Part of It”
While working on my classic monster mashup, I could not get the song/idea for a mashup out of my head: Werewolf Bar Mitzvah. After finishing the designs, both the song and idea remained. Now, I’m not a fan of public libraries celebrating holidays. But I couldn’t help myself: between my love of laughter, and Halloween…
Monster Mashup
🎵 I did the mash – I did the monster mashup-with-the-library-logo. 🎵 This is the first set of new designs I’ve created in years, and the first I did with Affinity Designer. I’m not sponsored by them or anything – I’m just very pleased with Affinity’s program. This also means that I can send you…
Library Logo Mashups
Over the years I have created quite a few library logo mashups – many I forgot to share on Hafuboti. Well, I forget no more! With some bonus high-res versions! Having learned how to use Affinity Designer (think cheaper, but just-as-great Adobe Illustrator), I can now create mashups at lightning speeds! Well, maybe not that…
Library Icon Variations
Several weeks before the #LAFE signs existed, I had been playing around with the universal library symbol (yes, I know how to party in my free time). I stumbled across them today, and realized that I should set them free and into the world for anyone to use. Like with everything else on this blog,…
Library Logo Line Art
You could also call this post the fourth unofficial Build a Better Artwork post since I could totally see these being put out for a passive coloring program OR a SUPER SPECIAL FILL-IN-THE-LOGO WITH HOW TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD OR SOME SUCH COMMUNITY ART PROJECT WHERE YOU THEN CUT OUT THE IMAGE AND PUT…
Build a Better Artwork pt. 3
I recently realized that I could easily modify my alternative summer programming artwork here and here and to give a wider variety and make them overall more useful in library land. The way I’d do that would be to take each image and replace what the character was holding with a globe. I must give…
Build a Better Artwork pt. 2
If you’re a librarian or a Punk Rock Book Jockey prepping for the upcoming CSLP theme of Build a Better World, and you don’t want to use the artwork provided (or want to beef up what’s provided), then do I have some art for you! Also, don’t feel limited by this summer’s theme with these…
Build a Better Artwork pt. 1
After over a year of excitement awaiting what the “new art process” for the CSLP would yield, I was disappointed (to say the very least). That’s all I’ll say about that. So back to the literal drawing board I went! I must give a HUGE shout-out to both Angie and Bryce for brainstorming ideas to…
Oh My Anne Carroll Moore!
Many months back I created another pop-culture/library symbol mashup series – this time featuring the Lumberjanes! I somehow managed not to share them here on my blog, for some reason. Most likely forgetfulness. But if you haven’t read Lumberjanes and/or it’s not part of your library’s collection – then add it and read it! Ladies…
Holy Mashups, Batman!
The other week I received a lovely surprise email from the remarkable Lindsey Tomsu. She was busy working on firming up details for next year’s Summer Reading Program, and wanted to see if I’d tackle “Surf’s Up” Batman, and maybe Robin as well. Her teens really love Batman ’66, and she thought that it would…
Guardians of the Literacy
Anybody else really excited about Guardians of the Galaxy coming out this week? In honor of the occasion, Bruce and I collaborated on another library logo mashup! I’ll be the first to admit that I leaned heavier on the comics material as my source, but with a little movie mixed in as well. Bruce was…
The Mashup Is On!
I’ve contemplated doing this public library logo mashup since when I did the superheroes and had a blast. These were equally fun to do. Please have fun and enjoy them! They’re yours to use and do what you like.
Readers Assemble!
A while back I made a mash-up logo with Batgirl and the ALA public library logo. It was a blast to do, and ever since then I’ve wanted to do more super heroes (even though they don’t have the awesome library tie-in that Batgirl has). It took one awesome stranger tweeting about how much she…
Batgirl @ Your Library
I wanted to share the image that I created last night and posted to my social media sites, but also give credit as to where the idea came from. I wanted to be sure to credit my main inspiration for this which was seeing this Pinterest pin. The other thing that made a light bulb…
