McMahon Marketing Sneak Preview

My buddy & new client, Korey McMahon, is about to launch relentless assault on the marketing world with his brand new marketing group – McMahon Marketing. The mark above is the starting point for his logo.

Website, logo, business cards, letterhead, airplane banners, signs in Times Square, gratuitous earth art (viewable from space) are all on the way.

Korey is a champion snowboarder, inbound marketing guru, business coach and all around swell guy. If you want your business to go to the top, give Korey a shout!

Died by The Sword

I got another chance to see The Sword perform last weekend and it almost seemed like the first time. I was fired up not only to see The Sword again, but because it was a true “Man Night.” 9 of us total rolled up to the ACM Performance Lab in bricktown. Madness ensued.

What do a German Museum & an Oklahoma Bank Have in Common?

A mark, of course! I was browsing Pentagram’s site today and noticed something interesting. The mark they created for Museum für Film und Fernsehen looks almost identical to the newest MidFirst Bank mark.

You can only do… what I want you to do. Starring: DirecTV

In my eternal struggle with web sites that provide service to their customers I have come across a pattern. Poorly constructed sites are difficult to use while beautifully constructed sites are easy to use. True statement. Right? Not so fast…

Meet the real me

I'm Mario Rosas and I hail from Parts Unknown. I currently am established in Norman, Oklahoma.

Designer
I'm an interactive designer with a passion for clean, usable sites and "juiced up" graphics. I'm giddy for all things well designed. I like using photography, love typography and, like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, truly believe "ain't nothin' like the real thing baby."

Drummer
Music is my first love. I see shows, play instruments, listen to music with headphones and am at my best behind a drum kit.

Lover
I love things. Ill show you. I've also sired the child who will one day be king.

You can reach me at pantone175c [at] gmail.com
