After working for several years on various Comic Book School branding projects Buddy asked me this year (2026) to do something a bit different. A sister show to the Comic Book School live project, run by his newest co-host Deanna Destido. The show is based on short interviews with individual comic creators, and a bit less chaotic than the Tuesday night live show. Clips are shown on the Comic Book School YouTube channel, but to get the full interview, usually under half an hour, you can sign up for Deanna’s patreon for $1. And I think the content is well worth it.
After talking through the details of the show with Deanna, and working through several mock-up and icons, we settled on a simple corner representation that has a similar look and feel to the Comic Book School branding. Choosing the high contrast color palette she prefered and a font with some customized serifs gives the entire logo a retro late 80’s early 90’s vibe. And it pops off the sites and social background to stand out to the viewers. I am happy to report the client and her co-host are both happy with the results.
Check out Deanna Destido on Comic Book School Live every Tuesday night at 8pm, EST, but especially on her patreon with her fantastic show Creator Corner.
