Merola updates Buster Brown logo

New logo design for Buster Brown clothing

Being asked to update an icon that’s over 100 years old was both an honor and a chal­lenge. A study was done to deter­mine which of the brand attrib­utes were most rec­og­niz­able and which of those could be updated or elim­i­nated. The style of Buster’s hat was the topic of much debate. After many, many redraws, this ver­sion of Tige the dog was deter­mined to be the most cud­dly. Sid Edwards was the illustrator.

Hang tags and look books were also designed.
