Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Kanga Clanga Badnik from Sonic Superstars. He is cute and orange, with a lovable blank eyed expression.

Kanga Clanga Badnik, as it appears in a 2.5D prototype Evening Star worked on after Sonic Mania. It is balancing on its tail and kicking forward with its springy roo feet! Sonic is knocked to the left with significant kinetic force.

A wider shot of Kanga Clanga hopping in pursuit of Sonic in the outback.

It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

🔹 Logos I've Made: The Logos Of 2024

For the PWG logo, I took inspiration from this one logo I saw but I wanted put my own spin on it. Overall, not too to say about it but that I’m proud of the design.

🔹 Pro Wrestling GAIA Logo

Another one of these Joshi promotion logos for my STAR-VERSE thing I’m working on. I wanted to go for a more Y2K-esque look for this design in particular so that's what's supposed to be conveyed here. I added stars to the design so that it would give the logo more of an identity. I added Japanese to go along with the regular text. Finally, I added saturn rings for more identity. The only I really had a problem was with the colors of the logo itself. I didn't know if I want to go with a solid color or gradient color. Ultimately, in the end, I went for a gradient color as I wanted a more sunset-esque look for the logo like with the Stardom Dream Queedom logo which should be convey here. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

🔹 Stardust Station Logo

This is one of the logos for the Japanese promotions I have in the Star-Verse. I was originally going to add a thunderbolt for the logo but ended up scrapping it as I couldn’t fit in with the rest of the logo. I edited the text for the “Pro Wrestling” and “PRIDE” parts of the logo mainly with the “S” and the “I”. Finally, I choose red and white for the official colors of the logo. I was also going to add lion to go with the theme but end up scrapping that as well as I couldn’t find a way to fit it in with the logo. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

🔹 Pro Wrestling PRIDE Logo

Another one of these Joshi promotion logos for my STAR-VERSE project I’m working on. Like FORTUNA, I tried to keep it simple as possible while giving it an identity. This is one is very straight forward as I wanted to go for something regal with the text so I choose the font that best represents that vision. I went the same route with this as the SABER but tried to be unique with it with the spear going through the ATHENA text to harken back to the Goddess of the same name. Overall, proud of this design.

🔹 ATHENA Pro Wrestling Logo

This is one of my first projects using a text wrap arch. I think I did pretty decent for a first attempt. Now, on to the logo itself I tried to keep it simple and to the point. I wanted to use a font that would match a type of NOAH/AJW vibe so I decided to use Hatigek Batagor for the design as I felt it matched with what was going for. Next, I used the text wrap arch for the "FORTUNA" text. Finally, I added that whole sun with stars thing on the bottom to give it more of an identity. I’m overall proud of the design.

🔹 World Goddess Ring FORTUNA Logo

This is my take on the @/COHwrestling1 logo. I wanted to keep fairly simple with nothing to complex ngl. I used @/yuta_ptv’s game changer font as a reference and before you say anything, yes I know the “H” looks like an “X”. My main goal was to go for a professional yet indie-esque look for this project in particular and feel like accomplished that. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

🔹 Code Of Honor Logo [My Redesign Take]

▫️ Uploaded: October 20th, 2023

This is another Stargazer related logo. Again, I tried to keep it simple while trying to make it unique. I decided to have two saturn rings instead of one ring as I felt inspired by the Gundam 00 logo. I was originally going to add a star to the logo but I ended up scrapping the idea as I felt didn't look right with the two rings. I do feel like could’ve done this design better but I still like the design overall.

🔹 STAR-VERSE Logo

I was told by Jordan to go for an Auto-Shop vibe for the logo so I went for the Los Santos Customs as base of reference. I recreated the fist and lightning bolt from the logo that Jordan gave me and used a fleur-de-lis from a dingbat I downloaded and I found one that look nearly identical to the one to the logo I was given. I added text inside of the circle so it didn't feel empty. I was told to add "B⚡️F" but I didn't have a place for it in the main circle so I created a second one. Overall, I'm proud of how this logo turned out.

For Lofi Wrestling logo, Retro wanted me to go for something Y2K inspired so that's what I ended up going for. I used @/Detetiive's Bomb Rush logo as a basis as to what I wanted the text to look like and feel like I'd done decently on that end. I was originally going to add japanese text to the logo but I ended up scrapping that idea entirely since I had no font to match the lettering at the time. Overall, I fuck with the logo but I do felt I could’ve done better with this design.

My take on the @NaptownAllPro's logo. Took directly from my SWGP logo and added a bit more for this one. Both use the same font but modified the "P" to distinguish the logo a bit. Did whole star thing that I did for the SWGP from scratch. Overall, I felt like I could’ve done better with this redesign take.

This is my take on @LosNeon's Saber Wrestling Logo. Fairly simple with this one. I went for a more Freedom Pro-esque look while using a different font. I added the swords to try and give that Saber logo a bit more of an identity of its own. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

For the PWF logo, I went for a TJPW vibe with this logo in particular. Fantastia is meant to be like a rival to Prestige in sense which is why is this logo was made. Once again, I went a cutesy vibe and I felt like I accomplished that here. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

I went for a New Japan Cup feel for this one. Added the trophy to give it more of a identity. I was going to add a laurel wreath to this but I couldn't find one that fitted in with everything else so I scrapped that idea entirely. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

🔹 SWC Logo

For the SG-1 Royale logo, I don’t really have too much to say about it. I went for a G1 Climax vibe with the logo itself. Added the stars for brand recognition. I was originally going to add a saturn ring around the logo but opted against it due to me not being fit it with the logo from a visual standpoint. Despite that, I really like how this turned out.

Grand Odyssey is the Stargazer’s equivalent to WrestleKingdom and it’s the vibe I wanted to go for the logo. At the time, I felt like I matched the vibe but now I do feel like I could take a crack at redesigning the Grand Odyssey logo to match the vibe I was going for to its fullest. Overall, I still like the logo but I’m most likely going to redesign it.

I’m not even going to lie, I hate the old NSA logo because I really it’s uninspired and has nothing going for it compared to the other Stargazer logo I made so far.

The BLACKHAWKS logo was something I wanted to make a future comic project I want to make in the future. The main thing that was difficult was the hawk but the other than that it was a straightforward process making the logo. Overall, I’m proud of it.

For the GALLANT redesign, I went for a futuristic look for GALLANT this time as well as adding a globe as a reference to CROWN another project was part of with my homies from WWE2K that never came to be. I redesigned the GALLANT logo because I hated the original design and wanted to improve upon it. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

I was mostly trying to go for Fate series vibe with the logo which is why it looks the way it does. It took a minute to finish this one as I was trying to think of ways of how I could've been able to create an effective logo design. Eltnum suggested we add the sword placed on the ground while being on fire which I feel really completes the look to me personally. Overall, I'm proud of the design.

For Stars In The Sky logo, I went a different route with this one. Instead of going back to taking inspiration from DEFY Wrestling's Into The Fire logo, I went ahead took inspiration from the Kolaf Interlude Logo from @/senssylee while putting my own flair with the text. I should note that the reason I redesigned this logo in particular is that I didn't like the look of the original design. I feel like I could've done better with it over so that's why this exists to be a successor. Hopefully, going foword with all Stargazer related logos I'm able to capture the vision I want with the them. Overall, proud of the design.

For SWGP logo, I mainly wanted to keep this one simple while truly to keep on par with Stargazer’s branding. I feel like I did well on that regard but I know some will disagree. Overall, I’m proud of the design.

Honestly, one of the most difficult logo I had to design so far. Fourty had work with this cool ass Japanese logo reference that I don’t know where it came from. The main thing was difficult was trying to work on the text as it took a minute to get right. Overall, I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish with the design.

This isn’t related to actual Dreamville record label and it was for another wrestling promotion for my StarVerse project. I decided to redesign the logo entirely because compare to my other logos it felt uninspired. Overall, I feel like the logo is inoffensive.

For the Prestige logo, I tried to go for a more cutesy vibe with it like some joshi promotions. Maybe asking why is this a redesign? Well, a long time ago my buddies who were apart the CAW Community in WWE2K made a joshi promotion that never really went as far as the production stage and I remember seeing the whole branding for Prestige at the time I remember not liking it and wanted to take crack at redesigning it but I didn’t have a laptop at the time. By the time I did this redesign, Prestige had long been defunct so to some y’all it might looked like I wasted my time with this design but I don’t think that at all so it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a minute. Overall, proud of what I did with the logo.

For the Puroresu Infinity logo, I was asked by Brent to go for a Dragon Gate inspired look so that’s I went for here. Outlining the phoenix would be hardest I had to do like it took a minute to get it right but everything else was after was easy. I want to say I accomplished that goal but I don't know. Either way, I'm proud of what I did here.
