Hercules one of the most iconic and prolific characters of Greek Mythology, a powerful and brutally strong figure. Raskol Apparel wanted a Greek based illustration to add to their line. They wanted a significant pose and one that could be remembered. Which meant looking into the 12 labor of Hercules, one of which was him defeating the Cerberus, we agreed that would be a great illustration, but finding out how to make it unique and still hold that Greek Pottery Art that is so famous. Melting my own approach with that of the artists from Ancient Greece lead to this illustration. There are two versions one being the Cerberus and the other the Chimera, both hold a flat style with a symbolically strong pose by Hercules, which really grabs that Greek Taste we all love.  The type is based on a condensed Sans Serif, but with a twist of rough edges, easy to read, and fits well with the vertical layout. The word is Greek and is a direct trasnslation of Power.
