Don't Stop Zincing!

This is a project I did for my son in law’s brother who works for a Canadian mining company.

The idea was that coating with zinc prevents rust, and he wanted to bring in the Fleetwood Mac Lyric “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow” changing it to “Don’t stop ZINCING”!

The rest he left up to me to do a logo for the campagne.

I bought a picture of the Tin Woodsman from The Wizard Of Oz from an image bank and layer merged a photo of rusted metal on his left side. I did the lettering in Photoshop, as well as the brushed texture on the axe with the element specs for zinc.

Seems it was a big hit. But I neva got the T-shirt.

Such is life. Grin & zinc it.

Processing done in Photoshop CS4.
