11.17.2008 +++ re-designing the EPMD logo for charity..
So, this is cool.. we’ll be among a group of international artists who have been invited to redesign the EPMD logo. Pretty sweet. It’s all for charity and happening towards the end of this month, pretty quickly actually.
From the press release:
“Works from each artist will be presented on canvases and prints and auctioned off at a record release event and a listening party. In Los Angeles, EPMD will team up with the Microsoft Zune space, offering guests the first opportunity to hear the new album and bid on the exclusive artwork. A main event will follow in New York, which will include performances by EPMD and friends, as well as the next opportunity to bid on the artwork.” The Logo Project’s current roster of participating artists also includes: Cey Adams, Hersk, Claw Money, HVW8, Keith Rocka, Darren Brass, and Chris Garver. Additional artists are signing on to participate on a daily basis.
Portions of the proceeds earned from each event will go to benefit Brooklyn New York-based charity Groundswell Community Mural Project.
“Additionally, the event will be commemorated with a limited edition T-shirt and poster of one select piece. A portion of these items will be given to attendees and the remaining will be auctioned off at the event, all proceeds to benefit the charity. A contest will also be offered in conjunction with a media partner, in which the general public can submit their own interpretations of the logo. Winning designs will be featured at each event.”
