NIKE 6.0 TEES.
Nike had two skateboarding lines SB, harder to find and more limited, and Nike 6.0, which was a bit more "mass market." I was never part of the skate group but while at Nike, and after as a freelancer, I did design a fair amount of tees for the 6.0 line. Here is a sampling.
I created these logo mark tees out of actual food. I fashioned the food items into the 6.0 logo, photographed the result, and put that on the tee. Right is made of Mike N’ Ikes, center is spaghetti and red sauce, and right is made of sunflower seed shells.
6.0: Nike n Ike's
6.0: Spaghetti n Sauce
6.0: Sunflower Seeds n Birds.
6.0 destroy your idols. I used the 6.0 marks to “tag” over classic Nike marks. The Nike marks where printed with several layers of ink to really look and feel old. It is a technique I developed in order to make faux-aged tees look less faux. It takes a bit of work but the results are worth it.
The 6.0 alien head mark. The alien mark was the primary logo for 6.0 when the brand was first launched. The green alien is printed with glow in the dark ink and has red rhinestone eyes.
Subtlety not necessarily a goal!
