Nuclear Family

Here's some behind the scenes stuff from a title we worked on a while ago called Nuclear Family.  It starred Ray Wise at his most villainous.  It was made a year prior to me joining VUGURU and we were trying to breath new life into it with a fresh poster. It had very little key art and with that being said- here's my first attempt.

I know, I know, It looks a little too much like Super 8... but thankfully we then used it as a steeping stone to get to this- 

This one was my favorite.  I would most likely add a few more elements but the general feeling is there.  In this round of edits it was decided to drop the vertical idea all together.  

Here was my next attempt with a regular horizon line.  Just about the same but ultimately it was deemed  it looked too much like a pulp fiction novel. 

This is the final product-  We were able to scrounge some pictures and produce a collage to hint at the apocalyptic world they live in. 

The Outside Joke Logo

Here's a close up of the final logo I did for The Outside Joke in it's two forms. As a full banner or a thumbnail.  They should be coming out with a slew of new videos this month.

Super . Model_ Alternate Concept

I just found this in the archives.  It's was my original idea for a logo on the show "Super .  Model."  Check out what we ultimately went with in one of my previous posts.  Like I mentioned in the previous post, the show was about super models with super powers.  This was all right before we pulled the plug on the show all together.

Cocktails With Stan

This was a really fun show that deserved an equally fun logo.  I'll note I made it before the Larry King show came out that has a vey similar logo.  Check out all of the shows here -

Super . Model

This is now a very dead project that I made a logo for too long ago to remember.  The basic premise was going to be, you guessed it, super models with super powers.  I didn't have as much to do those days so I took a gamble and made this logo in my free time.  The idea was and tell me if it worked, if you said the show name out loud, you'd say "Super DOT Model."  I'm not sure if this very close to being final logo conveys everything I wanted it to.  Next time I'd put her in a different dress, and make her pose not so close to a  50's mom and pop burger joint.

Ghoul

Concept art I did for a friend of mine the title of which I won't mention to be on the safe side.

Cosplay Piano

We launched a show called Cosplay Piano 3 months ago and it features a very talented piano player named Sonya Belousova playing themes from movies and games.  I was asked to create about 8 cells to quickly flip through to not only tease the upcoming shows but use as a tittle sequence.  This was one of my favorites. We actually premiered with this video and it's based off of The Walking Dead.  Here's a Link. 

And here's the logo I made for it.  What do you think, is the backwards treble clef blasphemy?

And the video itself that features the lovely Sonya Belousova

Real Life Web Slingers

HEY KIDS!   IT'S REAL LIFE WEB SLINGERS!  Here's the cover art I made in a flurry at 2AM for  a series of STAN CO toys for Stan Lee's World of Heroes. I had to do a few more but this one stood out.  Another tight deadline.  If you have a dark sense of humor and a love for comic book characters check em' out here  - Seth Ylitalo-Ward
