3RDEYE OPTICS is a fledgling clothing brand in Santa Barbara, CA. They shared their vision with me and from the get go we were on the same page.

5280 Custom Paint was an automotive paint shop in Denver. 5280 is synonymous with Denver because of the “Mile High” label. I love when I can impose a graphic on top of a letter.
