    Great photography and a great identity. Well put together. Love the black and white only approach to, not only, the work, but also the photography of the work.

  7. Jeff says:

    Very, very nice. Consistant, creative and smart.

  8. Frau Haselmayer says:

    Um, well, the resemblence to the Reichsadler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler) makes me feel uncomfortable...

  9. Johnny Miracle says:

    Frau Haselmayer, you are a boring boring person. It's clean and tight. I like.

  11. Laura says:

    LOVE THIS. Mostly because my father refers to my grandmother's boyfriend only as "Fast Eddy".

    Great idea basing a logo off the old Nazi Party eagle… oh hang on no it's a terrible idea.

  14. Jason says:

    John, Why don't you leave us a URL so we can see the kind of work you do? If you're going to bad mouth someone, you better back it up with some quality work. By the way, since when did the Nazis get exclusive rights to the eagle?

  15. Courtney says:

    This seems to be getting a little out of hand. I love a good discussion, but let's be nice people! The eagle isn't only a graphic used in the Nazi era, it is also a traditional American symbol. And being that this is a U.S. based business‚ that cited "Americana" as an influence, no less—I highly doubt the former was the designer's inspiration.

    Yikes.
