Jess Wade Band Branding Design & Custom-Printed Tee Shirts
Embodying the essence of a rugged American musician and the untamed spirit of country rock, the new Jess Wade Band branding makes a debut. The bold, dynamic typography echoes the energy of his performances, intertwined with subtle elements reminiscent of retro-rock and a twist of Western; the logo design was inspired by the unique quality of Jess Wade and his music.
Jess had one challenge he had been wrestling with for years—how to incorporate a treble clef into a “J” for his name. He says, “Our old logo design had a treble clef, but it never looked right. It kinda worked, but it was not something we wanted to build our brand around. It never made it on the marquee.”
Red Type Design spent quite a few hours tweaking the styling of the typography to get the right look. No clipart or standardized treble clef worked; all were a fail. The treble clef used is highly customized— the tilt, cupped serif of the “J,” and the stroke width and typeface were pretty much sketched out to get the right look. Additionally, subtle elements were added to evoke Country Rock and the rugged individualism that personifies the unique character of Jess Wade—SINGER • SONGWRITER • POET • ROCKER • REBEL.
Additionally, Red Type Design designed various tee shirts with the logo and slogans on the backs of the custom-printed tee shirts, including “A Drinkin’ Band with a Music Problem” and “Outlaw Country Rock Band.” The typography and accent scrollwork have a mix of Western and modern that Jess wanted for the tee shirts.
Jess is the real deal! I have no doubt this up-and-coming artist will be hitting some new highs in his career, and we look forward to hearing more from him. Working with him on this branding project and custom-printed tee shirts was an honor. Jess is very genuine and a down-to-earth person. I enjoyed meeting him and discussing music, the arts, and our faith. I hope he can perform with the Longview PRCA Rodeo sometime. I will be recommending him to other local venues!

I am beyond ecstatic regarding the T-shirts I received from Red Type Design. Working with Tim has been a very informative and rewarding experience. I had started with only some ideas about how I wanted my branding to look, and a few suggestions about how to bring some concepts to life.
Tim was somehow able to ask just the right questions to get my creative juices flowing. Then he was able to take my ideas as they grew, and turn them into images that he later fine-tuned even further based on my suggestions.
Throughout the entire process, I felt as if I had my own department working at my behest, and it was if I had taken on a new creative partner. I am now looking forward to where that partnership may go as I look for other ways to use the services of Red Type Design.
Who knew that shirts could be so fun? And the final product will quite possibly be my best form of advertising to date.
