Drew’s 5 seconds on NPR’s Marketplace
March 6, 2008
I was recently interviewed as a logo designer and rebranding expert for the public radio show Marketplace (aired on NPR). I did my best to refrain from criticizing anyones work, ie. XEROX’s new logo. When reporter Jennifer Collins arrived she took no time getting her equipment up and running. She had a microphone the size of a bazooka. I have never been interviewed before and thankfully I was able to kept my foot out of my mouth (another first). Our original interview took about an hour. Here are my official first 5 seconds of fame. (I now have 14 minutes and 55 seconds to go!)

HOT WHEELS Branding & Product Graphics
February 26, 2007
I never thought I’d see the day when one of my logos would be on a Hot Wheels car! These graphics will be used on HW merchandise world wide and will include backpacks, clothing and cars. Some of these are in stores or will be in the near future. I found two cars at Target and Walmart. A special thanks to Dave at 13th Floor Design and their client Hot Wheels/Mattel for allowing me to collaborate on this project.
Some of these logos are on merchandise and on sale now at the Hot Wheels Design Lab here… http://www.zazzle.com/hotwheels
Of course I had to remove the rare speedwheels version from the packaging!
Art Directed by Dave Parmley and Eric Ruffing of the 13th Floor for their client Hot Wheels/Mattel. Logos Designed by Drew Dougherty of BXC Inc. All art owned and copyright of Mattel Inc.

KELLY SLATER’s new surf brand’s identity system
February 17, 2007

BXC created the logo design and identity system in collaboration with the Komunity team. This final design was selected out of about 9+ pretty solid concepts. The logo’s visual story is about people coming together, shoulder to shoulder. It also needed to be stenciled, stitched, PVC molded and look great on product.
This is the leash & traction packaging for Kelly Slater’s new brand Komunity Project – launched Spring 2007. The main design goal was to stand out in a sea of sameness and be environmentally responsible too. No plastic. The traction backer card is 100 % recycled post consumer waste and has a sick die cut logo so the grom (big and small) can tag the Komunity logo on their boards, car, whatever. All technical products are designed by Kelly Slater, Chris Pitts and an ever growing team. Packaging was designed by Christian Prollamonte and collaborated with Drew Dougherty of BXC.
A little video we made with Patrick Gadauskas.
This is the premier of Komunity Project’s booth at the Action Sports Retailer (ASR) and Surf Expo trade shows. The Hawaiian garage-themed booth was designed in-house by the M&D Group at Quick and they did a killer job bringing the Komunity team’s vision to life. The build out was done by The Exhibit Shop.

Website homepage at launch in 2007: komunityproject.com

Dealer sales catalog design.

The BXC take on a flexible corporate logo usage guideline. Super simple.

Product Board Graphics – Francisco Goya
February 3, 2007
Newly released board graphics for world-champion windsurfer Francisco Goya’s 2007 line are now in shops world wide. BXC (nicelogo.com/BXC) designed all logos and product graphics as well as final production for the high-res screens.

I finally got to see one in person while I was on a shop tour in Europe last month. They look as if they were hand painted and signd by Goya (the windsurfer) himself.

Surf Sportswear Ad Campaign – O’Neill
February 2, 2007
These are a few samples of the O’Neill European summer clothing branding campaign. This pan European ad campaign ran in all core surfing, windsurfing, snowboarding and action sports fashion magazines – most as front page spreads and back covers. They advertised young men’s and women’s summer and winter fashion product including boardshorts, shoes, outerwear and core accessories.
We also designed this 11×15 action sports photo calendar that kicked off the original ad campaign’s look and feel. These were not only used as corporate promo but were sold in surf shops all over Europe too. This calendar/ad campaign concept is one of my favorites, seeing that we were able to develop a 12 month campaign that successfully launched side-by-side with the consumers monthly calendar. Our work was done, so to speak.
