Label chic
As a designer wannabe, I’m a bit of a sucker for good visual design and well-executed branding. Such is the case with System Recordings, a dance label out of New York.
Honestly, I know next to nothing about these people aside from getting their promos and that I like some of the songs their artists are releasing these days. But one thing for sure: They have their design and branding act together. From their web site to their MySpace page to their online store, they sure seem to “got it going on.”
What prompted this post, frankly, is their t-shirt line-up in their online store here. They’ve taken their cool logo and done-up a couple of brand shirts that use it to good effect, especially the black one… What looks like a tire track across the front of the shirt is actually a mosaic of their logo. Pretty clever, and yeah, I ordered one just because I think it’s hot looking.
It’s sort of gotten me thinking that I need some DJ Wesley shirts once my new web site is up (speaking of branding and all that). Might be fun. 
And speaking of branding, look for my all-new web site to be launched in the next week or two. I’m pretty stoked, but still a lot of work remains before it’s ready. Stay tuned…
