JOSH SAUNDERS - 2013
Our original logo mark by Josh Saunders. with a career between Berlin and Leeds Josh had been on my radar from day one and I was stoked to have him work on our original brand identity. Josh’s mantra ‘Never Not Working’ resonated with the birth of the barbershop and the early mornings/late nights trying to build a busy barbershop.
DREW MILLWARD - 2014
The first T Shirt artwork we ever commissioned by world famous and all around nice guy from Yorkshire - Drew Millward. Drew has drawn designs for some of the biggest bands in the world, but we met when he was getting his hair and beard cut in the barbershop, we hit it off and the rest was history. We always said we wouldn't churn out merchandise, so when things clicked with Drew it felt right to put out our first art lead t-shirt over a year after we opened doors.
EDDY BENNETT - 2015
Eddy Bennett (aka Eddy Artist) is an artist based in Brighton, UK who specialises in glass and gold painting. His work is a real throw back to traditional styles and methods, so in 2015 we commissioned this beautiful hand drawn piece to put out as a limited edition screen print.
CHRISTOPHER KENYON - 2015
‘Tailor Made Haircuts’ was a throw away comment during a haircut appointment by loyal patron Josh H, and we immortalised it on a sticker and T Shirt. Hand drawn by our good friend Christopher Kenyon of True ‘til Death Tattoo.
KIM THE BUTCHER - 2016
Kim and I first met in the early 2000’s stood in the Ramones Museum in Berlin watching a Teenage Bottle Rocket acoustic set. I was in town for a show with my band the following night, and Kim was in town to catch a few bands, and we hit it of over our common interests in all things punk rock. We stayed in touch and years later commissioned Kim to draw this gnarly reaper to go on a limited run of enamel mugs.
DREW MILLWARD - 2016
During a haircut appointment Drew said “Ivy has a great face, I might draw her one day”. A few days later this landed in my inbox. We decided between us it was too good not to use, so we split a super limited run of screen prints between Drew’s webstore and the barbershop.
SAM MCLOUGHLIN - 2017
Sam’s been a patron of NWBC from the early days, and we always bonded over our shared interest in design and graphic illustration (along with many other things). This was the first art piece the infamous ‘SamBizzle’ did for NWBC before heavy involvement in a rebrand in 2024.
MATT WEAVER - 2019
Another member of the wonderful True ‘til Death Tattoo team, Matt had a background in graphic design before learning to tattoo. We went on to do 3 designs with Matt over the next few years during his tattoo apprenticeship.
MATT WEAVER - 2019
The next piece we did with Matt Weaver was to generate a bit of income during the Covid-19 lockdowns. This shirt was a preorder only limited edition of 100.
MATT WEAVER - 2013
Matt played a huge part in the visual identity of NWBC between 2019 and 2023. This graphic was to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of NWBC opening its doors. It was the centrepiece of our 10 Year Party poster and the backprint on the anniversary T Shirt.
SAM MCLOUGHLIN - 2024
A full overhaul of the NWBC visual identity was on the cards for a while, and after several conversations with Sam about the direction we landed on a new type logo that embodies our graphic lead passion while remaining clean and legible.
