Custom Guitar Design 1

Description

I've done the design for a custom made guitar, and this symbol will be appearing on the guitar neck. The M is from the guitarist's name, Marcus Silver, thus the choice of this letter.

The idea with the double rotation is that whether the guitar is standing on a guitar stand, or if it is being used and held sideways - you will in both situations see somewhat the same.
I found inspiration in old viking ornaments with the M parts crawling over and under like a snake, and the arrow ends are also a nifty detail inspired by old craftmanship. I am also a huge fan of tribal tattoo designs, so I tried to make something in the veins of that in the symbol surrounding the capital letter.

When the guitar arrives from the manufacturer, I'll post a photo of the finished piece!

NOTE: If you are tempted to steal this for your own guitar, please concider twice as it is copyrighted and watermarked :)


I beg you to fullview, I find no point looking at only the thumbnail if you like it. No details! ;)

That's totally amazing! Someone might teach me how to use illustrator, soon, so I guess I can make logos like this with this program.
Very different from what I would create normally though.
