I'm pleased to present the winning design of the Buffalo Powder Keg Festival. The logo was designed by Dan Zeis, and incorporated everything that we were hoping to see into the design. Without prompting, Dan took the emphasis off the snow (very topical), and through bold color and tasteful graphics came up with a fun, explosive design. Here's some info on our winner:
Dan Zeis is currently Senior Art Director with Penton Media. He has also worked for McGraw-Hill Publishing and Primedia - all in their magazine divisions. He is a graduate of Bryant and Stratton (when they were on North Street) and RIT.
After living 23 years in Manhattan he got tired of the cost of NY and returned to Buffalo 3 years ago where he purchased a home with his partner of 7 years in the Elmwood Village.
He has won countless National and International Awards in Design and Illustration but the only one his parents remember is his winning the Allentown Art Festival Poster competition in 2006 (the "claymation houses").
Congratulations Dan, I would like to thank everyone who submitted a design. I am working to hook you all up with cool stuff from the festival, the least of which will be comped tix to music, the beer tent, etc.
