Steve at All American Dynamics sent me an e-mail to show me how his new logo compared with the big boys.
He sent me a link to Purdue University’s website. On their website is a page showing the corporate partners for the Industrial Advisory Board. Sandwiched in between the Ford logo and Honeywell logo you’ll see the All American Dynamics logo.
Not only is it impressive to see the logo you designed with these big names, but is also impressive to see someone you know on such a board. Very cool, Steve!

This is the logo I created for All American Dynamics.
Steve Lyman, the Founder and President of All American Dynamics, asked me to come up with a new logo and business card layout for his business. Steve and I know each other from the work I did on the Performance Truck Of The Year print.
The goal was to tie the wording “All American Dynamics” with what they do which is vehicle dynamics. The “All American” lettering speaks for itself, the challenge was finding an element that gave “Dynamics” an automotive feel.
To get that automotive feel I used thick bold lettering along with an silhouette of car on top. To help complete the look I used motion lines stretching the length of the lettering. In the original concept I used a generic sports-type car but after reviewing Steve had a great suggestion and that was to do the silhouette based on his Lotus formula car. The Lotus silhouette was the perfect finishing touch.

I also put together a new business card layout.
It was great working with Steve on this project. His experience includes vehicle development engineer, test driver, vehicle dynamics department manager, vehicle dynamics specialist, and vehicle dynamics executive consultant.
See the All American Dynamics website for a list of services they offer.
This is the latest art edition of the Illuminati Concept Car.
In this version the correct headlights were added along with a pair of chrome front bumpers. At the back there were adjustments made to flatten the rear, also added is the car’s number “77″.
When you compare the previous version below with the new version above you can see the differences.

The latest news is that they are now officially one of 13 teams left in the Mainstream Class. They are also one of only 3 all electric cars is that class.
See their team page on the Progressive Automotive X Prize site.
The February contest winner comes from Memphis, TN.

This is the artwork for the 25th Anniversary Flashback Cruz which is held in Bend, Oregon.
Progressive Screen Printing contacted me about creating the artwork for their client the Central Oregon Classic Chevy Club.
All the base artwork was created in Illustrator then brought into Photoshop for additional detail and depth. Below is the Illustrator version of the main car which is also the winner of last year’s show.

Progressive was great to work with, they gave me all the details on what elements the client wanted in the design.
The artwork was used for shirts and posters.
Visit Central Oregon Classic Chevy Club’s website for more information about the Cruz.
This is the back view and now new front view of the Speedstar Vicky concept car. The Speedstar Vicky is one of three concepts I did for a Rod & Custom Magazine article some time ago.
Since then I have received a lot of emails from people asking what the front end looks like?
I have always had in mind what I wanted to do for the front but never seemed to find the time. But as the emails came in I started thinking more about it and decided to work it in between some other projects.
