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 (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”.

VintageLogos Has The Best Design Services Around — Here’s Why

Posted on January 8, 2019 - 12:01 am by

Every custom drum head we make is driven by people like you. We strive to help musicians and bands succeed, and we do that by improving their image with the best design services out there.

We seek to help you visually communicate your awesomeness to your audience.

But you probably have some questions, so let’s cover those now.

Why Should I Brand My Drum Head?

What is one thing that will make your band stand out from all the other bands? First, your music has to be heads above the rest (we already assume that’s the case).

But the next thing is to enhance your image — your brand. The best way to do that is to improve your stage presence by branding your drum heads and amp grill cloths.

When people look at you and your band on stage, whether you’re opening for an all-star group or playing at a Battle Of The Bands, they need to know your name. Custom drum heads do this for you.

Branding your band helps define your stage presence, sets you apart, and makes you look like the professional you are.

What Do Other People Think?

As we’ve seen from our previous clients, getting a custom design from us changes things for the better.

Here’s what our customers think about us:

“VintageLogos knocked it out of the park again! Best advertising out there! Super fast, and perfect every time!” – Tom

“This company is by far the BEST professional graphic company that I have EVER seen! They did a great job doing my bass drum heads, and people everywhere that I play just drool over my Custom bass drum heads! Way to go, Vintage Logos!” – Joey

“Great product looks awesome!!!  This is THE place to go for great graphics!!” – Jim

What Options Does VintageLogos Offer?

If you decide to work with us to help brand your band, we offer a ton of great services.

We can help you with designing your logo and even making custom hand-drawn illustrations for you. VintageLogos’ staff has talent, experience, and professionalism when it comes to logo design. You’re sure to end up with an image that fits your band perfectly.

On top of our custom design service, we can also clean up your existing design. Maybe you already have a logo that you love, but it just needs a little help. Or maybe you have a photo that needs some retouching or photoshopping. That’s no problem — we can smooth it out, make it snap, and generally just clean it up and make it look professional.

How Quickly Can I Get My Design?

Simply put, we work fast. Have a big show next month or even in a couple weeks? You can count on us.

Here’s the breakdown of our turnaround times:

  • Simple Production – 1 to 3 business days for the first set of proofs (M-F)
  • Advanced Design – 2 to 4 business days for the first set of proofs ( M-F)
  • Premium Design – 3 to 5 business days for the first set of proofs (M-F)

Like we said, we’re fast.

Sounds Great — How Do I Get Started?

We thought you’d never ask. To learn more, you can check out our Design Services page and hit the “Get Started” button. That’s where you can tell us exactly what you need — what design service(s) you need, what products you want, upload your image or logo, and when you need it.

Plus, we’re super nice and friendly.

How Much Will This Cost Me?

We know what it’s like being a DIY musician, so we purposefully made our prices reasonable and doable.

Here’s what you can expect to pay for our services:

  • Simple Production: $25 to $100
  • Advanced Design: $130 to $225
  • Premium Design: $325 and up

See what we mean by “doable”?

Being A Drummer In 2019: New Year’s Resolutions That Offer Hope

Posted on January 1, 2019 - 1:01 am by
Being A Drummer

I’m not going to tell you what to do. Every musician should create their own goals and career trajectory, especially because being a drummer in 2019 can look very different depending on the person.

But there are creative ways to go about reaching your goals. And if you’re looking for some New Year’s Resolutions ideas, this is the post for you.

Here are four things you can do in 2019 to boost your music career and give you hope for the future.

Join Or Form A Band

If you’re not already in a band, you need to be — especially if you’re a drummer.

I’m not saying drummers need a band to succeed, but the whole idea of drums is that they work best with other instruments. Plus, it’s just way more fun to play music with friends.

If you don’t have musician friends or you’ve just moved to a new city, you can look up a Facebook group specific to your area.

For example, go to the Facebook search bar and type in “Nashville musicians” and check out the groups that show up. Then post in that group that you’re looking for fellow musicians to start a band.

You could also meet people the old fashioned way — in-person. Check out local artists who are playing concerts in your area, stick around after the show, and introduce yourself. Make sure you have business cards so you can quickly exchange contact info and websites (VistaPrint offers cheap and good custom business card).

Create A Practice Schedule

You’ll never be in a band if you’re not good enough. Yeah, you could do all the right networking steps and connect with other artists, but if you’re drumming is not up to par, it will all be for naught. It will go nowhere.

That’s why it’s super important to have a practice schedule (you may already be doing this). Having a schedule keeps you accountable. It tells you to practice even when you may not feel like it.

Sticking to a practice schedule will make you a better drummer. And the better you are, the better chance you have of being a successful drummer and having a hopeful future.

Focus On Advertising Your Band

Once you join a band, that’s when things get fun. You can start practicing as a band, booking gigs, and getting your name out there.

The only problem is that last step — promoting yourself.

Many musicians cringe at the thought of advertising or promoting themselves or their band, but it’s necessary if you want to stay a band.

And one simple way you, as a drummer, can do that is to get a custom drum head with your band name and logo on it.

Find New Venues To Play

Once you’ve joined a band and practiced together, it’s time to get out there and start playing shows. You could play the venues that all the other bands in your genre are playing. But you can also get creative.

You can look into some more unexpected venues to play to tap untapped audiences, like people’s houses, certain restaurants, and local record stores. And as long as you figure out the right rates, you can make money as a musician this way.

If you commit to these resolutions for the new year and apply yourself, you may find yourself with more hope for your drumming career and a success-focused path.
