Ogbert "Tracy" Jordan went on to invent a new kind of borkulator.
18.11.2025 19:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's not shade so much as it's my opinion regarding how I think it doesn't fit the feel of what is supposed to be AEW's most extreme match.
Maybe "logo" wasn't the right description.
It's more a wordmark if we're picking nits, but there were edits to it that aren't straight font, but who cares.
100% agree.
Too much going high when they stay low.
They should reach across the aisle...and fight.
Decorum isn't working any more.
Stop being the exact same as the corporate fluffing conservative assholes (...but on *your* side!) and practice what you preach.
FIGHT for people.
Period.
My portfolio is at mattbarnette.com if anyone would like to pass it along to anyone hiring a marketing/graphic design/creative director/writer/video editor/motion graphic artist/communications pro.
Yer boy needs help! Any leads? Toss em my way!

All this to say, I've done cool, fun stuff and I would love to do more cool, fun stuff for anyone hiring. I lost my job three weeks ago due to Trump making Solar Tax Incentives disappearing on Dec 31 and the Solar Company I was Director of Marketing for lost most of our business.
Someone hire me!
Another project was the Chris Jericho/Orange Cassidy debate.
This was a fun one.
Eric Bischoff even gave me props for it on Twitter!
I did some other fun stuff for them as well. One night Matt Hardy tagged with the Young Bucks and I did a "Hardy Boys Era" type video for his entrance with one hour notice. It was fun seeing something I'd just finished being played in Jacksonville minutes later.

04.11.2025 23:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The new Blood and Guts logo that I don't like that replaced the original logo that I created for AEW in 2020
The original Blood & Guts logo from the original promo that revealed the name.
Blood & Guts in my hometown of Nashville. Was really proud to see it advertising something for Nashville's market.
I was shocked to see the Blood and Guts logo on a series of action figures. They did this one of Brody King and Darby Allin. They also did some for MJF, CM Punk, Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley, Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa, Kenny Omega and Cody and Dustin Rhodes.
I created the original Blood & Guts logo for #AEW in 2020 and last month saw that it had changed.
It went from stylized and cool to a font that comes with your PC.
My version was on toys and used for 4 years and looked cool as hell.
Oh well. It's not mine, but it was a bummer to see it changed.
You better be glad Dwight David Honeycutt isn't running for a spot on the school board where you live, Ian.

Was looking at title histories on the WWE website and was in the 24/7 Title section and I'm really curious why Jinder Mahal's five minute reign is listed on there are well...more.

I'd like to thank the following people that helped me out after my last post about losing my job:
Nobody.
Not a repost.
Not a message about an opening you saw.
Not an introduction to someone who is hiring.
Not a single word of encouragement.
Nothing.
Thanks, absolutely nobody!

Lost my job three weeks ago due to the company going out of biz due to trump policies on solar tax incentives and i'm desperately looking for anything in the marketing, content, communications, or design world. i've also done videography and video editing for 20+ years and have had my work (CONT'D)
