Stanley Family Reserve

A fun little "side project" we recently designed for Paul Stanley of KISS: His friend in Uruguay, who is the owner of the Yellow Rose Vinyards in Punta del Este produced a limited run of Pinot Noir wine for Paul’s personal Stanley Family Reserve for which we designed the label featuring one of Paul's paintings. It was packaged in a beautiful 3-bottle box and gifted to his friends.

    • "We have hired t42design to design many different types of books at Chronicle Books. In fact, several of the book projects were brought to us by Tom. T42design can handle any type of book project, whether the subject matter is a heavy metal band or an animated Disney movie."

      Steven Mockus, Senior Editor, Chronicle Books

    • "I first hired Tom as a junior designer at MCA Records back in 1996. A few years later, once he and Toby formed t42design, I hired them consistently for a variety of projects over the years. Never a worry working with these two. All these years later, they still design many projects for us at UMe."
