The
Bat Logo on the header graphic of the this web site was designed
by John Cipollina. John designed guitars and was an artist
that worked in many different mediums. He often designed
bat like shapes to use as pick guards and ornamental accessories
on the guitars he designed and built.
The graphic of the Purple Bat that is used on the
header of this web site, was a design that John Cipollina cut
out of a piece of metal. The metal bat was created as a
pattern for a guitar ornament to be cut from plastic used for
guitar pick guards. The metal piece was recently placed
on a computer scanner and then converted into a web graphic by
a web designer. You can see similar designs by John Cipollina
on his custom built Gibson SG Guitar (currently on display at
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum).
