Casey Ross Jr., also known as Casey The Icon, is the creator and artist behind Icon Studios, a graphic design and marketing company that Ross hopes to make a household name in the future.
He started his business shortly after college when a lot of his friends were starting to make businesses of their own. Ross noticed the need for creative and memorable logos for his friend’s brands, and he knew he had the skill set to create them.
As the business began to grow, he put more effort and time into his design process, becoming more organized about what he was creating and continuously getting better equipment to improve his art.
He currently creates logos, produces mockups of T-shirts and clothing, and designs flyers for various companies. He gets inspiration from different places, including everyday life, the creative style of 70s and 80s, and Black advertisements in movies, products, shows and more.
“Just the fonts they used, the vibe they had would be one of my biggest inspirations,” Ross said.
In the future, he wants to create everything associated with marketing for companies. From Instagram and social media posts to full-blown marketing campaigns with logos, pictures and the company’s creative vision all done by him.
“My plans for the future are to make Icon Studios a full-blown animation, marketing and production company,” Ross said.
