colt 45 and two zig zags...


your boy afroman is coming to town...and he's bringing some crazy interpretive type with him. what you see here is his band logo. the circular shape of his afro assumes the shape of the o in "afroman." typographic innovation has entered the rap community. watch out...is that a cigarette?

its cool how they used his head as the o, but i think it would have been better if it were more simplified. i don't know if you have seen raef and martha's wig out ad for galyean's class, but something like that would have worked much better for the o

nice, afro man...the fact that his huge fro/head makes up for the "o" is priceless, and funny...but they could have used just his fro for the "o" instead of his whole head

I agree with Melissa. My boy Afroman might have worked better if he were more simplified, more of a silhouette. He draws too much attention away from the actual type.

agreed. Because he is so detailed its hard to read it as an "O" great concept though! ya I would have just had a plain head and fro!

...BABY THATS ALL WE NEED! Aside from afroman being too detailed, and yes thats true, I like the green type on a lighter green background. The white stroke helps distinguish the type from the background.
