Richard Arthur Stewart: Fast Eddie’s Barber Shop

The aim of the iden­tity for Fast Eddie’s Barber Shop, designed by Richard Arthur Stewart, was to evoke tra­di­tional Americana, a style that the Boston-based shop epitomizes.

    Great pho­tog­ra­phy and a great iden­tity. Well put together. Love the black and white only approach to, not only, the work, but also the pho­tog­ra­phy of the work.

    Um, well, the resem­b­lence to the Reichsadler (http://​en​.wikipedia​.org/​w​i​k​i​/​R​e​i​c​h​s​a​d​ler) makes me feel uncomfortable…

    Frau Haselmayer, you are a bor­ing bor­ing per­son. It’s clean and tight. I like.

    LOVE THIS. Mostly because my father refers to my grandmother’s boyfriend only as “Fast Eddy”.

    Great idea bas­ing a logo off the old Nazi Party eagle… oh hang on no it’s a ter­ri­ble idea.

    John,
    Why don’t you leave us a URL so we can see the kind of work you do? If you’re going to bad mouth some­one, you bet­ter back it up with some qual­ity work. By the way, since when did the Nazis get exclu­sive rights to the eagle?

    This seems to be get­ting a lit­tle out of hand. I love a good dis­cus­sion, but let’s be nice people!

    The eagle isn’t only a graphic used in the Nazi era, it is also a tra­di­tional American sym­bol. And being that this is a U.S. based busi­ness‚ that cited “Americana” as an influ­ence, no less — I highly doubt the for­mer was the designer’s inspiration.

    Does lov­ing this make me a Nazi? If so, slap a swastika on my arm and call it a day.

    Hey Holly,

    It’s called Brown Bag Paper Kraft…I think avail­able in 70lb and 100lb.
