I've been working on building up my freelance design practice lately, and I thought I'd show off the logos I just completed for the Somerville & Capitol Theatres. I really love those theatres, both as a performer and a patron, so it'll be extra fun to see my work representing them!

I'm definitely looking for more work; if you know anyone who might be looking for some print design, please do feel free to point them to my online portfolio at rosenthol.carbonmade.com

ooh, ooh! awesome!

And the portfolio site is also awesome... hadn't seen a bunch of that stuff before.

those are gorgeous!

Wow! I didn't realize you had so much design experience!

We definitely need to talk...

I'd be happy to! My email is gilly@postdiluvian.org, drop me a line.

Really nice work, both these and the full portfolio. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for looking! One of the things I love about design is being able to point to something and say "look what I made!" :)

Beautiful! Stylish! Retro! Awesome!

Actually, my household might have some need. I'll send you mail.

Oh, and yes, gorgeous! In case I haven't said that enough about your work. ;^)

Wow, awesome! And they capture the history of the theaters very well!

As it happens, I was just telling

vanguardcdk (not knowing who had done it) how much I loved the design work for the Dracula T-shirts and mugs, and he informed me you had done it. I really like your work!

Thanks! They were actually inspired by signs that had been used on the theatres; the Somerville one still hangs in the lobby, and there are pictures of the Capitol one on their web site. I really love doing vintage design, so it was a fun challenge to find a way to reflect those signs without being too literal about it.

And I'm so glad you liked the Dracula art! Since T@F found a cheap way to print in color, I've been having a blast doing their design.

beautiful! I love the art nouveau Capitol Theatre. Or is that deco?

The Capitol is nouveau, the Somerville is Deco. I've always loved art nouveau myself, this is the first time I've had an excuse to do any work in it!

Love it! Hope you're getting paid for it.

Thanks! And yes, this one was definitely for pay.

How will they use these logos? Print ads? Online?

Both, I believe. Just delivered the final files today, so it may be a little while before you start seeing them in use, though.

A small 2-screen cinema in Lexington Center recently changed its name from Lexington Flick to Lexington Venue. Wonder if they'd like a new logo to go with their new name?

The reopened Stuart Street Playhouse (now a movie theatre once more) could probably also use some publicity assistance.

Oooh! very nice. I still totally love your business cards, too.

Those are fantastic! Congrats!

I don't think I've ever told you before, but you do really great work, Gilly. And these logos are fantastic. Congrats!
