A New Logo in Currency Design

 all images,  c. Kevin Sprouls A couple of months ago, I was called on to create a new logo in currency design style. I've done a lot of currency design illustrations over the years. It's highly-detailed and exacting work. Here are some examples of my illustration in the currency genre:The above, a straightforward replica of President Andrew Jackson from the twenty-dollar bill. I copied it as closely as I could. The image appeared in a sales ad for a midwestern department store.The illustration above was for a TIME magazine cover. Unfortunately, the story got bumped by late-breaking news and this image did not make the cover!The logo I did recently was for a company, Big Money Players, being created by the actor Will Ferrell. The design firm was Laffayette American. The concept was already worked out, so I merely had to present a solid sketch before proceeding to finished art. Here's the drawing I submitted......and the finished art from my desk:The designers decided to add some color to the art, and they also handled the typography.

He plays an aspiring Eurovision contestant from Iceland, with great and convincing panache. I was quite impressed by the film's inventiveness and Will Ferrel's acting chops. It's a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXAoznWmuL8
