In a few weeks Horn Matters will be hitting its third-year anniversary. To celebrate this, the new University of Horn Matters, and other future projects, we have opened a new store that offers some fun merchandise for sale.
Over the years I have created a number of horn-related images and imagery, and so the new store will soon include drink-ware, posters and stickers. I will be slowly adding to the collection with more and more items over time.
For starters, we have two designs on a variety of T-shirt styles. Here are two samples:
The first logo (on the left) is for the new University of Horn Matters that John announced yesterday. What is the second logo you ask? The one on the right with the cute cartoon dog playing a horn?
Well, that comes with a short story.

Before settling into a full-time position as a web developer, I operated a freelance business from a home office. In that time period I helped a number of individuals and organizations with their first web sites, including:
- The International Horn Society
- Thomas Bacon’s Horn Planet
- Osmun Music
- Robert King Music
- Sonoran Brass
- Regional Orchestra Players Association
The official logo of that business was the horn-playing dog, and it came about from my own passion of playing the horn and working like a dog at it in order to make a living. My freelance business has since been retired, but I still use the logo as an avatar.
