If you were a superhero, what would the symbol on your cape look like? We had this conversation recently with Krystopf, Atlas, and Atlas’ sister, shortly after Izod was born, and so I had the idea to design Izod a little logo — you know, just in case he ever ends up being a caped crusader.
“Izod” in Farsi means “angel,” so it was super easy to come up with an idea that would suit. And there’s this stress test they use for the breakage point of metal called the IZOD test so I figured I would toss that in as well. Accordingly, I made a giant “I” out of clay, stuck screws in it as it dried, and sprayed it silver to make it look like a piece of metal (sort of).
Then I took a wing graphic I found on the internet and made it into a sort of stencil.
I cut out the shape and used craft paint to fill it in.
Then it was a simple matter to hot glue the clay piece in place. And some keys I nabbed from a mini keyboard.
And that is it.
