Brooklyn Nets Logo looks a bit like…….

This is not a full out hack but it’s enough of a similarity to question the decision in the selection of the new Brooklyn Nets logo designed by Jay-Z himself. The Milton Glaser Brooklyn Brewery logo still screams Brooklyn more effectively then what the Nets went with. When Milton came up with the brewery logo he wanted to speak about the baseball heritage of the city by emulating the […]

Inspired by Rob Liefelds highjacking of The Fighting American and also flipping the bird to Marvel Entertainment I thought it would be great to bring back another Joe Simon character. Pirana was a slam dunk the aquatic character successfully swam into the abyss of forgetfulness. The BIG IDEA was to insert the Sub Mariner origin into Pirina while using it as a launching pad to an entire universe of characters (the rest […]
