Really? Because I could have sworn the style was absolutely identical. Look at the Soulstorm Brew shirt: Low contrast, muted palette, retro aesthetic, squiggly font, Glukkon head graphic, clean vectors, lots of layers.

They’re superficially similar, but there’s various possible explanations for this:
- Eveson designed them
- The designer of the logo was inspired by Eveson’s designs (the logo wasn’t used until well after the Soulstorm shirt was shown off)
- The logo was based off the retro, corporate styles of Glukkon marketing just the same as Eveson’s shirt design, and thus the two appear to be of a similar style
Flat, vector and retro designs are also very, very popular in the design community right now. And as for the colors, check again: they may look similar, but if you render in grayscale most of Eveson’s work shows off tonal variation that isn’t present in the NnT logo.

I'm fairly certain they have specified it. I'm confident it was Eveson, but feel free to go back through OWI announcements to find out where.

I’ll save you the work:
Eveson is only mentioned as designer for the t shirt and posters. No logo. There’s not even a post on the site that announces the logo, it just turned up around E3.

Lorne has described Wil as a "fan". I think you're reading too much into it. If you're going to try and extract truth from the implication of a paraphrase of a madman's ramble, you're in for a hard time.

I was talking more about the Oddworld.com blog. JAW announces everything they possibly can through that, especially collaboration work with others. Eveson’s poster and his t shirt were both announced and Eveson explicitly named as the designer, but this isn’t true of the logo. Don’t you think they would announce the logo in a similar manner to Eveson’s other design commissions if he were the creator?
