The aim of the identity for Fast Eddie’s Barber Shop, designed by Richard Arthur Stewart, was to evoke traditional Americana, a style that the Boston-based shop epitomizes.

Keeping Beantown looking good. Nice work.
Great work! Such a clever logo…I have designer envy.
I love the image of the comb with the bird in the middle … very creative!
Ditto about the bird comb. Smart.
Thanks guys! Much appreciated!
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.
Very, very nice. Consistant, creative and smart.
Um, well, the resemblence to the Reichsadler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsadler) makes me feel uncomfortable…
Frau Haselmayer, you are a boring boring person. It’s clean and tight. I like.
wow this is fantastic. that third photo down showing the full collection.. too awesome.
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.
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?
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.
Does loving this make me a Nazi? If so, slap a swastika on my arm and call it a day.
What stock was used for the stationary?
Hey Holly,
It’s called Brown Bag Paper Kraft…I think available in 70lb and 100lb.

Much appreciated!
