The Magic Bus in the original led to immediate associations to Ken Kesey, his Merry Pranksters and Tom Wolfe's chronicle of their adventures -- 'Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'. I used a stock photo of a guy with an afro, turning it into a silhouette. I built a gradient using colors from a poster for 'Hair' and filled the silhouette, then borrowed some text from the beginning of Wolfe's book to fill in. The title font text was filled with a gradient and a single pixel stroke was added.
