The Way of the Kettlebell


I love this Japanese caligraphy style kb drawing done by Rannoch Donald RKC, of Scotland. He says he tried to combine the elements of the circle, the figure eight( for the eightfold path) and the infinity sign. I think he did a fantastic job and this drawing captures the simplicty and beauty of the kettlebell much in the same way the actual bell did the first time I saw it.
I think we're going to make some t shirts with this on it. Its the logo for his blog and I think it's the coolest kb logo I've seen yet.
here' s his blog link:

Rif!,

You just put a big smile on my face. I got a text from a friend 5 minutes ago saying check out Rif's blog. Thanks for your kind words.

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

rannoch,

this thing is better than you think. You need to copywrite or trademark it or whatever it requires so no one steals it.beautiful work.

Just done a Batch of T's for KBs so no immediate plans for the KB Infinity logo.

I'll have a thing about it. Maybe set it up through Cafe Press. You guys know what the quality of their gear is like?

rannoch,

we had the original Girya Kettlebell t shirts done at cafe press and they came out great. Just make sure to get the pre-shrunk hanes heavy duty cotton t's!
Hope you don't mind I used the logo for this blogs. All credit to you of course.
