SOFT&FURRY™ WEEK #8

04.08.08

Markham “Shitty Kitten” Maes took week #8 (the FINAL week) of the S&F™ logo/identity design contest. Week #8 was a tricky one, we (cypher13) received some pretty amazing identity concepts, but in the end decided that Markham’s characteristic over-the-top creative interpretation of what the S&F™ project dreams to be, seriously stole the show. We’re in the midst of reviewing the eight winning logos a little closer to see who’s gonna get the gold. We’ll be choosing the big winner soon!!!
