13 possible Electronic Cottage logos

4/9/2018

For his first post here in Electronic Cottage I am going to show you 13 designs that Mike sent to me for possible use as EC logos, banners, etc. Please tell me and Mike which ones you like best, and tell us why, if you want to.
Please note that all of you are welcome to submit designs and artwork for EC.
EC is a site that will be constantly changing and evolving.
Mike's designs, and your designs, could be used by us, now or in the future, in various ways and places on the site.

After reading Carl's comments about which ones he liked best, Mike worked up three more logos, which I will post here below.
Additionally, in the spirit of collaboration, William Davison took one of Mike's logos and altered it, also below.

Mike Nobody

Turning Junk Into Punk Since 1985

Mike Nobody
is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, visual artist, and creator of experimental
custom-made instruments. Diagnosed with major depression and social anxiety disorders, he is regarded as an outsider artist–musician by his contemporaries in the fine art and alternative music scenes. Known for his highly eclectic style and diverse projects, his sound incorporates a variety of music genres, both popular and experimental, with a predominantly Lo-Fi aesthetic. Much of his work consists of ultra-limited, handmade cassettes recorded alone in his home, with whatever means that were available at the time.

His visual work consists primarily of “stream of consciousness” drawings and mixed media paintings
made from repurposed materials, with occasional ventures into film & video.

Creating in near anonymity since the 1980’s, most exposure to his work has been primarily in the form of mail art packages, ad-hoc self-distribution, and a few local retail outlets. He gained some notoriety in the Metro Detroit area, beginning in the 1990’s, and has collaborated with numerous musicians across the sonic spectrum. Whether people were listening or not, however, Mike continued to compulsively produce music and art pieces. Exponential growth of the internet in the intervening years has given Mike new opportunities to reach an audience, unavailable to him before.
