A visual cornerstone, a company’s identity is expressed through its logo, which, along with the brand’s name, is one of the main things that makes a business memorable, or relevant.
According to wiki, the first trademarked logo was the Bass red triangle in 1876.

Needless to say, the boys went a different direction, but we couldn’t be more stoked with the results.
P.S. Yes, T-shirts, hats, and stickers have been ordered.
