When browsing online to find a logo that uses positive and negative space, I came across the Martini House logo. I think this is a very straightforward design that represents exactly what the business is. I like how the designer used two martini glasses right next to each other then made a house out of it by adding the front door. I also liked how he has the white in the glasses to show that they are somewhat full with alcohol. The designer of the logo is Eddie Brown, unfortunately I don’t think this logo ended up being chosen but it’s still a great logo. You can find this logo along with many of his other designs at https://logopond.com/EBrown/profile/13914/?gallery=&filter=N.

He has been honored multiple times, to name a few, he got a Honorable Mention at the second and third International Socio-Political Poster Biennale in Auschwitz, Poland; Silver Award for a poster that was in the Social/Political Posters book produced by Graphis; and Designer of the Year along with Illustrator of the Year at the Birmingham ADDY Awards.

Wright is also the co-founder of Posters Without Borders, a biennial international invitational poster exhibition.
For his work, Death Is Not Justice, he created the poster for Tomorrow exhibition advocating for the abolishment of capital punishment. Wright believes there are many reasons to oppose the death penalty but he believes that a civil society doesn’t have the right to decide whether or not that person dies. He thinks that capital punishment is the death of justice. I like this poster because it reminds me of a tarot card which is what got my attention.
