Here’s the last of the sketches I worked up for Labor of Love’s design of the logo for Saleh’s Deli.

Salehs was a minimart near the house when we lived and had our office for Labor of Love from 1996 to 2004. In 2002 they decided to include sandwich making as part of their service and commissioned LoL to design their menu and a new logo. I did the sketches for their mascot. Jason Oxrieder turned the final one into vector art.

Ah, April 1st. That day when people make up elaborate lies so they can shout April Fools when others are taken in by them. I won’t be doing that. If I didn’t need to schedule this post I wouldn’t even remember the date. It’s not that I have a problem with an international day of lying (it would nice if we could keep our most egregious lies restricted to a single day) it’s mainly that I don’t remember holidays in general. I remember Christmas and New Years. Christmas because I have to plan ahead. New Years because it’s so soon after Christmas.

And what does that little rant have to do with the above sketch? Not a darned thing.
