The Keyboarder Logo Design – Just For Kicks
Some logo and typographic foolishness. A ’spin off’ idea from a ‘legit’ logo project called ‘Fifty Two Keys’. Where the obvious subject matter of piano keys etc seemed to be unavoidable. During the project, several other ‘fun’ ideas came about.
The Keyboarder
Just a cute triple meaning of the letter ‘Y’ to form a ‘evening dressed gentlemen’ in the style of several piano keys. Blood spray to infer some ‘dastardly deads’.
Fonts
No surprises with the font used as well. Not my usual style of Helvetica for sure, but Helvetica Extra Compressed seemed to be a good fit. The tag-line uses the free League Gothic font.
This time…
The Keyboarder. A musician for hire, who has a deadly secret.

Very cool and inventive!
One of those logos that pretty much came about through accident, certainly wasn’t planned.
Often the better ideas do happen that way. Of course, it was totally inappropriate for the job I was working on, but it’s nice to play for a bit in between jobs. Especially if you are struggling with ideas, playing with concepts can release inspiration.
Love it! That’s a very cool design.
