 nice to see they still wear it proudly.

Back Blogging

Hi again,
Thanks for being patient ...just wanting to let you know my Blog is back even though I've never left.

For starters I began my venture into font design, which you may think is a natural segue for a designer who specializes in typographic design and illustration. To me it always was an attraction and so I dove in head first by creating a new logo for my new venture, CozyFontsFoundry.

Q: Why the name CozyFonts?
A: Cozy is a childhood nickname started by my longtime bandmate and song writing partner Mike Garrigan who was nicknamed 'Beefboy" by one Jon Bon Jovi who Mike worked for.
Cozy being short for Nikosey (pronounced: nick co zee).  When Mike and I established our music publishing company we named it CozyBeef Music. So it was fitting to name my foundry CozyFonts.

Go Greenies!!!

...here's a fun logo I dreamed up for the wonderful Bay Family and their commitment to a greener, more sustainable future, through introducing and representing 'green' products and devices through their online store and services. After a few logo sketches presented to Chris Bay, their young and passionate CEO, this was the standout choice. This had the most 'human touch' of all.

We're all rootin' for the Bays success! -TN

Beer of the Month

...some of you may know that I've been branding the micro-beer 'Firemans Brew' for a few years now. Like any upstart, it's been a challenge, but with a great tasting 3 beers and dedicated partners and associates we're breaking through!

Our 'Brewnette Dark' has been named 'Beer of the Month' by the Los Angeles Times.

We're extremely proud of that achievement and what makes it more satisfying is being able to give back. Our founder is a working California Firefighter and we give a percentage of our profits to benefit the NFFF ( National Fallen Firefighters Foundation). -TN

Show Man...

...being asked to create a logo for another creative can be a daunting task at best. When long time friend Kenn Lubin phoned from NYC, where he's been creating displays for Broadway for over 30 years, my first thought was...'what style lettering do I employ to capture this man's varied and colorful career?'...the answer was in his face! -TN
