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.
