Clark Plays Guitar: Photos

The Old Days...Cheater

Outdoor concert waaay back in the old days! Look at all that hair!
The first Cheater logo, stenciled onto the lid of an old suitcase used to transport cables
The first promotional poster after Clark joined Cheater. No logo on printed materials, but you can see the suitcase from the previous picture laying open in the background.
The second "heart" logo. Drawn by Clark based on input from the band. Whether this is a refinement or first draft of the logo in the next picture is unclear.
The second Cheater logo as seen on the second version of the promotional poster that came after Clark joined the band
After Jim Lawrence joined the band the "5 aces" concept was worked in with the heart. This is the first version, drawn perhaps by drummer Curt Davis.
The first 8x10 glossy promo picture! Just like the big-time bands! (Most bar bands didn't have expensive promo material in those days.) We were moving to the next level!
The next idea using the 5 aces concept came from Curt Davis, our drummer. Curt cut one of the promo pictures up & made these mock-ups. We toyed around with a variety ideas involving these cards, but nothing ever came of them.
