People have always asked us what the Group Effort logo is all about. In the mid 70's I wanted a logo that would graphically depict many groups of people working together, networking and supporting each other, while creating a vibrant music and production community. With this idea in my head I headed over to graphic artist and my long time friend Bob Powers. Bob submitted 3 or 4 ideas that were close but just didn't quite do it.
Then one day he called and said that he had just designed a snowflake T-shirt for some kids in Indiana and with a few revisions, it would convey the Group Effort idea. I immediatly loved it and had it registered with the state of Ohio as the Group Effort Logo. We had T-shirts and bumper stickers made, and I still have this dream that someday people will recognize who we are by our logo alone.

Well the logo lives on anew by adorning a new and fantastically wide variety of shirts, mugs, hats, bags, golf balls, frisbees, and even yes, thong panties. To get your hands on this fantastic stuff, log onto our on-line store!
