Nail is a fellow artscene traveller, a refugee from the ‘90s with a fondness for the activities we used to conduct but not many outlets for them. Somehow, he ended up singlehandedly generating 100% of the Mistigris iconography used in the MIST1016 artpack – the FILE_ID.DIZ and the logos on both infofiles. Basically, anything that said “MIST” was done by him… which isn’t bad for someone who was historically never part of it! Nostalgia by proxy!

Anyhow, the previous two of his pieces we examined were minor works – a FILE_ID.DIZ is necessarily constrained, while “the world’s smallest Mist logo” doesn’t really have the chance to bust out. But here, atop the newsletter, he went for the gusto and minted this wicked logo depicting some species of digital graffiti from Hell, balancing the whimsically looped “i"s with the Satanically inverted "G”. It’s a typographical tour de force, and really got us out the door on a Hallowe'eny foot, no doubt! Hats off and thanks again to Nail for ensuring that we didn’t head out into the world undressed 8)
