I did two hours last night on Midnight with Dan & Rich, on Click Radio. You can download the podcast of it at HearNewBrunswick.com. It’s two hours. I played maybe 6 songs (some of which are new) and did some funnin’ around.

Friday is finally the day when Steve Bove’s article about me hits news stands in the Asbury Park Press’ “Jersey Alive!” section, so be sure to pick up the paper and save me a copy. There’s an online preview/teaser on app.com

Also, Friday night is my first show back out, and my first show performing under the new band name. Espresso Joe’s in Keyport, 7:30pm, free! It’s Eric Ginsberg & The New Originals (acoustic) featuring David DiGioia, Graham Schumann and Darryll Meter, with special guests, Alex Biese and Amy Malkoff. I’ve missed you so much and can’t wait to see you then!

So, in non-logo-related news, the Asbury Park Press article (mentioned in my previous post) has been pushed back to next Friday, which is great, ’cause it’s closer to area dates that I’m playing.  And in logo-related news, more anonymous logos (from a different anonymous submitter):

Asbury Park Press writer, and generally awesome guy, Steve Bove, has chosen lil’ ol’ me to be featured in this Friday’s Jersey Alive magazine (an APP insert).

You can check out the online preview/small sample of the article for now.

I’m just bubbling with antici…

Two submissions from Jessica just hit my in-box. Thanks, Jessica! Comment, y’all.  Got ideas of your own? Enter the contest!

Here’s a third batch from Chandra Jade. Drop a comment and let me know what you think.

Len Peralta, of Jawbone Radio, Monster by Mail and Jonathan Coulton’s VTAW fame, has submitted these two entries for the Eric Ginsberg and The New Originals art/logo contest. I think I’m gonna poop myself with excitement. Comment, people! And buy a monster from Len!

NOTE: Len and I have exchanged e-mails to the tune of “something belongs in the black space in the top right corner of the first image.”  We can’t figure out what, though.  Your suggestions?

More from Chandra Jade (with even more on the way).  Click here for contest details and enter!

The result of some feedback and some fresh ideas, here is a second round of submissions from Ms. Katie Biese.

Perhaps something I ought to mention: I sincerely appreciate most of these logos being one color (’cause printing one color merch is way cheaper, and stamping the logo on stuff is easier when it’s B+W). That said, the only color rules to the contest are that the logo should be one color with a different color background (and even that isn’t such a hard-set rule), and though I’ve been getting a lot of black logo on white background, if you create something that really only comes through (or you feel comes through better) in another chromatic variation, go for it!

This next submitter asked to remain Anonymous. No sweat. I realize something, though, that is probably my fault for not saying so (as I’ve received a few submissions like this): it’s “The”, not “the”. Grammar be damned, that’s what I’m looking for. Y’all better be commenting on this stuff! I need your feedback! To enter the contest, click here for details.

Aviva used Marnie Mitchell-Lister pop-art of a Derek Gross photo to make what is more of a flyer that she has deemed a goofy thrown-together bit. I’m definitely going for more of a text thing, which she quickly realized, but I sincerely appreciate the image and look forward to more!
