Chickening Out


Existing Tyson logo.

I've talked about agency work before and how it can be very fickle. That said I still have a lot of fun working on a variety of projects even when some of those projects never see the the light of day publicly or not.

Such was the case on this project I was hired to work on for Tyson. The agency wanted me to design a branded mark that played off the equity of Tyson's primary brand shown above.

Everything on this project went pretty smoothly and I delivered the goods only to find out months later that a new brand manager came on board at Tyson and killed the whole project, so once again my work won't be gracing grocery store aisles anytime soon.


Bevel detailing.

This logo seems relatively easy but in fact it took a lot of time to finesse the details. The typeface I had to build the beveling manually. It was kind of fun and reminded me of air brushing chrome back in the glory days of art school.

I'm not a huge fan of the whole web 2.0 glassy look but some times it's appropriate for a given project and in this case the agency requested this visual aesthetic. I like how it came out and was able to avoid the ever dreaded lens flare and hot spot common in this now over done genre.

So even though this work will never be used to push a new chicken product it was still a fun gig to work on even though Tyson chickened out on it.
