Extracurricular

TOM
TOM stands for Team One Multimedia, and it's a logo I made for the talented group of individuals that sit on the 7th floor and create incredible moving images.

 

YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE LOGO
Just finished a logo for my hometown's youth basketball league. I've got a ton of memories from my days as a player, so it's awesome to do some work that younger versions of me will get to see. We're famous for our citrus trees there, so here's hoping one of these kids' game gains as much notoriety.

ILLUSTRATIONS FOR MY KID
While we were expecting our first child, I created a series of illustrations about his family history. My family is Mexican and Danish--his mother's family is Scottish and German. Each image represents a branch of our tree. Our son Otto Andres Bjarke was born on November 11, 2011 at 11:00am. He is incredible.

"UNSUPERVISED" TITLE CARD

I whipped up a new title card for a production company created by the guys that make It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Check it out at the end of their new show "Unsupervised" on FX.

THE CLASH OF THE CARRIAGES
Expecting your first child makes you think about things in new ways:

 

SXSW WRISTBANDS
A trip to SXSW isn't complete without custom wristbands for you and your friends.  These wristbands grant no access to any event, they won't get you any free drinks, but they will help you look official wherever you go.  Featuring images from SXSW life--boots, beer, BBQ, etc--and exclusive L.I.P. (Least Important Person) designation.

AUSTIN SPORTS THERAPY
Some of my best friends started their own sports therapy business in Austin, Texas, and it was an honor to create a logo for them:

SIMON WALLON LOGO
Filmmaker and friend Simon Wallon needed a logo.  I made him one.  Here are the final options.  Guess which one he picked?

F.B.F.
The F.B.F is the Food-Ball Federation--an organization devoted to the celebration of cooking and ball-related sports.  I designed a crest for the inagural FBF event and subsequent promotional materials.

HERO ILLUSTRATIONS
A continuing series of illustrations, three of which represent my favorite Spanish soccer players: Xavi, Iniesta and Puyol. This round also features an ad for Puyol's imaginary ShamPuyol line of hair care products.

BJARKE FAMILY SEAL
In honor of my parents' quickly approaching 40th wedding anniversary, I've begun to create a few pieces of Bjarke collateral for the impending celebration.  First up was a Bjarke family seal and flag.  Drawing from our unique Mexican-Danish heritage and other pieces of our immediate family history, I created a seal based on the Los Angeles city seal--the town of my parents' initial meeting.
