It’s not always straight to the machine for us—we actually like to draw. Admittedly, there is a lot of joy in creating vector art but it’s nice when our illustrations have a that hand drawn look. Check out some more illustrations after the jump.
Hawkers Asian Street Fare is located in Downtown Orlando’s Colonialtown district, an area ripe with interesting eateries and cool bars. The challenge of opening an Asian-themed tapas style restaurant in this part of town is that it would blend into the landscape of the existing Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese establishments. Still, Hawkers wanted to have an authentic Asian street food look and feel. That’s when Danger Brain was called in.
Danger Brain was contacted by Vans to help them turn fabric swatches into fully repeating patterns that could then be used on anything from dresses to inlays.

Danger Brain has worked with Profile Racing on and off for the past 7 years. We have helped them with ad campaigns, product graphics and IDs, websites, and brand development.

There was a time when I thought that design was sublime. If you couldn’t see good design, then it was doing its job. And then one day I realized that there was a world of inspiration all around us. In every street sign, architectural detail and geometric shape available for public consumption. Agent Danger Brain 2 is a master at recording and documenting these inspiring details that remind us that design is everywhere.
Tom Vann and Daniel Dennis run a successful online comedy show called “A Mediocre Time With Tom and Dan”. Danger Brain has been tasked with creating all branding and collateral materials for the show. Branding is not just a logo and some business cards. A well-executed branding campaign revolves around a brand “kit of parts”.
Torstein Horgmo is a Norwegian born pro snowboarder and leader of the AWSM crew. The guys over at AWSM contacted Danger Brain to come with a symbol that would accompany their existing handwritten word mark. The challenge for us was twofold – (1) Come up with a memorable mark that would symbolize the spirit of fun that AWSM represents, and (2) Create a symbol that could be integrated with their existing word mark.
Danger Brain operative 2 was gathering intel on potential creative mission opportunities. These are some of the shots from that recon mission.
