Rarely does one see Communist and Texan iconography in one place, but the disciplined Chad Michael makes it work in his refined self-promotional stationery suite. A systematic, yet fun icon set lends character to the individual business cards while restrained use of color and practical typography unite the pieces as a whole. It certainly gets the job done.

The goal was to create a self-identity system that was unique to my character. I wanted to create a raw feel with the stationery along with a set of icons that would quickly describe aspects of who I am and how I work. Conceptually, the materials and design reinforce the “hard-working” aspect of myself that I would consider one of my best traits as a designer.
