Three person Chicago-based improvisational comedy group Batterymouth is looking for a logo to be used on promotional materials, swag and our upcoming website.

In performance, Batterymouth gets one suggestion from the audience and then creates a thirty minute long improvised comedic show consisting of three person scenes, character monologues and slam poetry-like riffs on a topic or phrase. Our shows are tied together by characters and themes, so the performance is one connected piece instead of a bunch of individual games. We’re closer to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia than Whose Line is it Anyway.


Our audiences have described our shows as “fast-paced and rhythmic” with “disturbingly funny group work.” People comment on how closely the three of us work together and that they come to see us for our full show, rather than for just one or two funny scenes.

As for the logo, we’re looking for something that’s more indy rock band than goofy. Please keep it sharp with no gradients or drop shadows. It would be great if what you designed definitely used color, but that it also had a black and white analog. Keep in mind that the word “battery” has multiple meanings, so don’t be too literal with any one meaning of the group name. This logo should be something that people in their 20’s and 30’s would want to wear on a t-shirt.
