Some time ago some Norwegian rando kept calling me Steve for some reason. Don’t ask me why.

Later me and some friends came up with stage names for ourselves for our hypothetical band. Everyone went with cool names, nearly all ending with either ‘Axe’ or ‘Chainsaw.’ Me, on the other, I went with the most Metal of tools in the repair box — the pliers.

Today, I felt urge to design a logo with a 1980s chrome look to it. Just for my own gratification and to find out for myself the steps needed to achieve such a look. And here’s what I came up with:

There’s still room for improvement, but for a first attempt, it turned out alright, if I say so myself.

This will probably be my last logo this year. In the upcoming weeks, I will just focus on cartooning and character design.
