Codpieceware

Branding project from 2001 for a New York-based software development company called Codpieceware:

Codpieceware Logo 2001

The company’s name was a reference to Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film “Clockwork Orange.”  The blue X shape borrowed from Apple’s liquid-themed system software branding, and the red figure was a nod to Beastie, the BSD daemon mascot.

Codpieceware sought to help users take advantage of the UNIX functionality within Apple’s new operating system.  One of their applications was a system diagnostics and analysis utility called “Logg.app.”
