Mikey Burton

It’s great when you find that one designer that can wear various design hats. Such is the case with Philadelphia’s Mikey Burton. Looking through his portfolio, I’m impressed with the amount, style and conceptual range of his work. The edgy boldness of the letterpress prints is a nice balance to some of the quieter, more restrained logos.
I love that kind of can-do, all encompassing approach to design. Mikey does it well, and it would appear he’s having a blast doing it!

Thanks grain edit! I feel so honored to be featured. This is my favorite blog and I was like a little kid at Christmas when I saw my name on the front page. I think I’m going to adapt the nickname “edgy boldness” if you don’t mind.
Just to clear things up… I live in Philly, but my heart will always belong to Ohio.
Best,
Mikey

I believe Mr. Burton was prematurely cut from the Command-X competition at the last AIGA Conference (in Denver). I’m sure he’s gotten over it by now, but I haven’t. You were robbed, Mikey! Keep up the good work!
