Build a personalized Shield Drumhead or Shield Logo
Each crest has been designed and modeled after the great drummers of the 20th Century.

 


Shield Logos
Logos are easy to apply, just like a sticker. Once adhered they appear to look painted on the drumhead. No backgrounds or clear materials are used. All logos come in 29″ lengths to fit most bass drumheads. Longer lengths are available, just ask. Each logo is made out of 2mil premium grade 3M brand vinyl and will adhere to uneven surfaces and areas. Black or White color logos will adhere to coated, simulated calfskin and smooth drumheads. Brushed metallic colors are made of metal and will only apply to smooth drumheads. Logos come with easy to read Instructions and photographic visuals. They apply in about 10 minutes.

Shield Drumheads
We can also build you a complete drumhead to your specs. Choose your shield logo choices, drumhead and mic hole options. We can also add your favorite drum company logo for an additional cost. Shield drumheads are made the old school way; Using 2mil premium grade 3M brand vinyl, the logos are adhered to the head surface. They look painted on the drumhead and give you a total vintage appearance. The material does not change the tone of the drumhead.

 


Choose from our selection of crests, sizes, colors and vintage lettering styles. Each logo is then design by hand. We then tweak and make fine adjustments to the lettering, making each one totally custom.


Shield Style Drumheads are made with quality Aquarian and Remo drumheads. They are available in coated, smooth, clear, simulated calf skin and vintage style finishes.


We offer 4 different mic hole and port protection products for your bass drum. We suggest installing a mic hole if you play live or any place where a sound person would need to mic your drum. Shield Logos and Drumheads normally take 3 to 5 business days to produce. We professionally pack all of our drumheads and products to ensure protection while in transit. Our custom drumheads make great gifts for drummers. Order your new drumhead today.

What happens after I place my Drum Head order?

Posted on June 19, 2019 - 12:01 am by
Custom Drum Heads - Bandit Band

Have you ever wondered how your drumheads are getting made so quickly? Customers are blown away how fast our turnaround is (3-5 business days) In fact, our turnaround is so quick because we use a rotating schedule, to ensure if your job comes in on Thursday it goes out Monday. If your order comes in on Tuesday, it goes out on Friday. This proven organizational method ensures you will get your drum head order in a timely manner.   Here is how our process works.

First, you get on our website VintageLogos.com, you choose your brand and size of the drumhead, you upload your artwork and then go on to place mic holes and drum company logos. After that, you go and checkout through our secure woo commerce site. Once your order is placed it comes to us, Jen prints out your order and then it goes into a colored folder, so we know what day we need to ship. It then goes to our Prepress department where they look for mistakes, for example, your file might not be ready to print because your file is too low resolution or you place a mic hole and it might cut off some of your text, etc. We want your drumhead to look great, so that is why we might go back to you and let you know if something does not look correct.

From our prepress dept, it goes to our print department where your drumhead is printed on our large format printer! It is cool to watch your vision come to life! After the drumhead is printed it goes to our production employee, James. He then proceeds to line things up and produces your drumhead (this process is top secret, that is why I left out some of the details lol. ) After your drumhead is made it goes to our cutting Dept, where they add mic holes, port rings, and Kickports. We have mastered cutting a round hole into your drumhead! Don’t try at home or at your own risk.

Your drumhead is now complete. It now gets handed off to our shipping department where Jen prints out the shipping labels using our shipping software. Once the label is printed it is ready to ship. We check over the order to ensure we have everything correct! Quality control is so important. We want to make sure if you ordered 2 drumheads,  you get 2 drumheads.  If you ordered a chrome port ring, we want to make sure you get a chrome port ring. We want you to get what you ordered.

 

Your drumhead is then cleaned off to ensure there are no fingerprints, we add our VintageLogos sticker to the top, we bag it in a clear plastic bag to protect it from getting scratched, and then carefully wrap it in brown craft paper and put it into the box with extra packing to ensure a safe journey to your house or business.  We add your shipping label and put it into the pile for UPS to pick up! Our UPS guy comes everyday M-F at 5:00 est. His name is Dave and he is a hard worker!  Your drumhead is on the way. Rock on and thanks again for your order!

We also offer many other custom products on our website. We produce Custom speaker grille cloths, Banners, Backdrops and more! Check us out if you want a high-quality product in no time.

Sincerely

Jen and Shawn

Shawn's Photo

Shawn McNamara (CEO/Creative Director)

When Shawn started Vintage Logos, over 20 years ago, it was a small one man operation that made custom drumheads for local bands.  Today, Vintage Logos has grown into a band branding experience, creating: drumheads, speaker grill cloths, banners and more for bands across the world.

Vintage Logos is proud to have worked with, Universities, Military Bands, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and even The Rock & Roll Hall of fame its self.  Although Vintage logos has grown and much has changed over the years, one thing has remained the same, Vintage Logos is a Family owned company that puts an emphasis on, as Sean would say, “giving people a custom handmade product that they love”.

Shawn is a family man. He enjoys spending time with his wife Jennifer and is two children, Bella and Brayden. Together, Shawn and Jennifer have seen the world together and built a business.

When Shawn is not producing drumheads or spending time with his family he is experimenting with and adding to his extensive audio equipment collection.

Q: If you could be in any band what band would you be in?

A: “I would be the drummer for Van Halen.”

Jennifer McNamara (Business Operations Manager)

With 20 years of retail management, sales and leadership experience, Jennifer joined her husband Shawn at Vintage Logos in 2004 as Business Operations Manager.  Her masterful execution of  Vintage Logos day to day operations has made a vital impact on the company and has helped make Vintage Logos the success it is today.

From the initial order to the production and logistics of each product, Jennifer works with each customer on a personal level and  strives to create meaningful relationships.  Jennifer often says “Dream big, work hard, stay focused, and surround yourself with good people”. This is the attitude she brings to  work daily, and we are all made a little better by it.

Outside of  work at Vintage Logos Jen spends time with her husband and her two children.

She enjoys going to garage and estate sales to find “Vintage” treasures 

Q: If you could be in any band what band would you be in?

A: “Since I love 80’s dance music, I would say singer for Kool And The Gang!”

James (Production Artist)

James (Jay for short… J if you’re just lazy) joined vintage logos with a wealth of experience in production art after working in the screen printing industry for years.  He currently is the man behind the curtain that expertly creates the drumheads, speaker grill cloths, banners, and more.

After each piece has been designed and printed, he goes to handcrafting the finished products that our customers receive.  Driven by his humor he does it with a smile on his face , and he keeps the team smiling as well.

His favorite quote is “I don’t know how many years on this earth I have left. I’m gonna get real weird with it.” – Frank Reynolds, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

When he’s not working at Vintage Logos he moonlights as a Brad Pitt lookalike and/or the lead singer for Matchbox 20.

Q: If you could be in any band what band would you be in?

A: “Menahan Street Band as the bassist so I could play alongside Charles Bradley, or a member of OFWGKTA because Those boys are wild”.

Michael (Graphic Designer)

Michael is the newest addition to the team. Having worked as a brand strategist and graphic designer for 6 years, Michael is now putting his talents to work for Vintage Logos.  Michael works side by side with Shawn to create custom artwork, drumheads, speaker grill cloths and more.   He also creates social media content to promote Vintage Logos and share our custom work with all of our loyal customers. 

His favorite quote is “There are no bad pictures; that’s just how your face looks sometimes.” – Abraham Lincoln

When he is not working at Vintage Logos,  Michael enjoys creating artwork of his own.  He also enjoys learning and playing his favorite songs on the guitar.

Q: If you could be in any band what band would you be in?

A: “I would play guitar for AC/DC.”

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to read about our team, we hope that you feel like you’ve gotten to know us a little better. When you call into our office, you are going to reach one of us and we will help you every step of the way branding your band. Please do not hesitate to give us a call!

Drummers, Artists, and More!

Who are we?

Vintage logos Inc. has been designing and producing custom drum heads since 1997. We provide trademark images for drummers, marching bands, and musical groups alike. We pride ourselves in excellent customer service, product knowledge, and top-notch quality products. For us this is not a job, but rather a passion. For years and years bands have struggled to set themselves apart from the hundreds of other musicians around the world. But little do some know we can make that process so much easier for them!

Our dedication to drummers.

How did we get started? Take a look at  Vintage Logos the First Years, our founder Shawn took $50 and a dream and has created this company that stands today! Now we offer more products than before and are getting ready to launch more! We pride ourselves in the excellent custom drum heads and banners we make; they’ve been featured on national television and at local marching parades all around. Our quality has been tried and tested and we are confident that not only will you love your designed drumhead, our quality will also last you from gig to gig.

More to look for. 

We’re so excited to announce some new products coming up soon! Just like our site now, you will have a DIY builder so YOU can be the designer! We are the only custom drumhead producer in which you can completely design your drumhead seamlessly on our website. How amazing is that?! We want to continue assisting drummers and artists to start their journey and branding themselves in every way that we can. That’s why we will continue to create the most quality products for our customers, because we know how hard it is to be in the music industry.

Our Mission

We strive to keep our customer in mind every step of the process. When you place your order on our website it’s sent directly to us. The same people who write these blog posts, design and produce your custom drum head. We are a team and a family that wants to continue working hard for our customers so that they can grow their brand as well as us growing ours! We appreciate all of you.
