WJBY is a sister station of WGAD.  I was asked to create this branding image while I was finishing up on the WGAD logo.  This image visually ties in with the other logo - while maintaining an identity all it's own.  I saw both logos enlarged on a banner last night at the Gadsden/Etowah Chamber of Commerce's 'Business After Hours'.  Having created these logos in CorelDraw and fine tuned in Photoshop - I only had seen them on my computer monitor.   It was rewarding to see how well they both looked super-sized.

They blowed up...they blowed up real good!

tuning in

WGAD is a radio station that's been servicing Gadsden, AL since 1947.   I was honored to be asked to develop their new logo.  The station is now under new management and new direction - now boasting a new transmitter facility, new transmitter and a new tower.  I'm anxious to see what the new improved WGAD will offer our community.

The initial challenge was to create a branding image that has a lot of elements (WGAD, 1350, 99.5 and News Plus) and make it work as a single unit.  The initial idea for this image was to integrate the the old 1 3 5 0 frequency into the bold WGAD call letters.  I welded the call letters together to work toward a single element appearance.  The other two elements were brought into the image using the bold red bars.  There was a lot of tweaking involved to get this one just right.  I am very pleased with the final outcome.

This one's from a while back, yet still relevant.

not my idea

I thought this idea from John Shaw was a good one - so I fleshed it out.  If you don't know already, it's based on the idiom, "Fool me once, shame on you;  fool me twice - shame on me."  I hope that when the next presidential election rolls around, more American's will have wised up to Democrat promises of hope and change.  Thanks John.

my sentiments

Commander in Chef

This graphic was inspired after watching the Frank & Beans clip from Obama's CNBC Townhall.

“I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for,” said the first questioner, an African-American woman who identified herself as a chief financial officer, a mother and a military veteran. “I’ve been told that  I voted for a man who was going to change thin...gs in a meaningful way for the middle class, and I’m waiting, sir, I’m waiting. I still don’t feel it yet."

I tell you, I literally laughed all the way home yesterday.
