MARIA PARRA - ANIMATION & ILLUSTRATION

Here is the retro & cute logo design that I've created for Dynamite Vintage Hair Salon.

I am happy with the result. The logo is stylish and strong. I love the simplicity and the colour combination of black & white plus the iconic 1940's red, Rosie’s Nail Polish.

Dynamite Vintage creates explosive retro hairstyles for the modern world. Victory rolls, Pin-up curls, Beehives, Hollywood waves and Bettie Page bangs. What's not to love!
