Als amateurgraficus ben ik nog steeds vreselijk jaloers op die figuur die de naam & logo van "twisted pear audio" verzonnen heeft.
Dat is Brians' vrouw:
"The logo... interesting story... well, to me.
Back in the day, when Russ and I first hooked up and decided to do this, we were trying to think up a name. Being engineer types, this was not pretty. After a lot of back and forth, we came up with Twisted Pair Audio.
Next, we needed a logo. If you thought the naming was bad... yikes.
So, I was driving around with my wife, who is an artist, and who loves me despite my complete lack of artistic ability. I tell her we are trying to think up a logo design, and ask her what she sees when she thinks of "twisted pair?" She says, "the fruit. Why not just use a twisted pear?"
Bing, that's fantastic, all we need to do is change the name to "Twisted Pear." But, how do I draw a twisted pear? We finally get home, and as we come in the door, and with one arm holding groceries, she scribbles the logo on a piece of paper with a Sharpy marker (picture rolling eyes... "like that").
Scanned it in, and there's the logo. And our name that generally makes no sense. Perfect for us. "
