The first step…

…is admitting you have a problem.

A Lethal Dõs Manifesto


America. Land of the free and home of us. I, Cerebro, was not privileged to be born in this great pot of delicious, melting culture. But we Lethal Dõs are a testament to the grand idea that two men, from different corners of the sphere…wait, that's not logically possible—but back to my point: that two men can join together in the service of great graphic design, and wrestling on the weekends..

I, Cerebro, have married a beautiful, American lady and look forward to making my own little tag team of destruction and candies. All this is only possible within this great land.

That being said, these are scary times. The economy is in upheaval and the government seems more concerned with legacies and winning wars and elections than securing the futures of you and us. I know, from firsthand experience as a wee luchador, how frightening it is to live where the government is not your friend. I also know that existence is never more than the loss of a few patriots away. Which is why I'm happy to live here. Here, there are many, many patriots. Cowboy patriots, hockey mom patriots, truck-driving patriots, mask-wearing luchador patriots, blue-collar patriots, maverick patriots, patriots who like the company of the same sex patriots, and most important of all, patriots who wear clothes. As I, Cerebro, tried to design a t-shirt that would make clear how I feel about the role of patriots in this country, I realized it would be impossible, because that would take a very large shirt, and it would be difficult to ship. What I finally realized was that the most important thing a patriot can do, is to stand when they are called, by the times, by their fellow patriots, or by their conscience. This is what we have tried to state in the shirt design above.

As I looked for a quote that would best fit the idea, I found many others just as patriotic, but not quite as short. One that particularly caught my eye was this one:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage.
(Sir Alex Fraser Tytler) (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian

Are we doomed to failure? Or can we beat the average? I think we already have. We just need to hold the record. Aren't we, America, No. 1 after all?

Casual Fridays with Lethal Dos…


To this day, El Nato insists the slippers were a put-off. Still, after that meeting, Conejo Bros. Rabbitry Group became Lethal Dõs Customer of the Year: 2006. The plaque's still on the wall in my office. Click Here to Read More..

Very well. You can look...

...but no touching! There can only be…dõs. Sometimes, El Nato's (on the left) work is so off-the-turnbuckle smash-mazing that I can hardly contain the reluctant tear that trickles down my cheek. The children, El Nato! Think of the children! Other designers—please don't try this at home. Click Here to Read More..

All aboard the wrong idea express!


New York has nothing on us! Well, except maybe the idea—first. And…on closer inspection, a variant that doesn't have an ounce of sexual innuendo (thanks a lot, Urban Dictionary!).


The actual idea was to imply that we like to smash blunt objects over the craniums of our opponents. But only when we can sneak them in behind the referee's back. When the T-shirt becomes available, however, feel free to declare your intellectual superiority to everyone around. Just don't say the idea came from us. We are happy to take credit for the idea to engage in folding-chair combat, though. As long as you only do so once your clients' projects are complete.

I wonder if the liver has any trailing innuendo… Click Here to Read More..

Recent fridge-door candidate…


Standing on the Word originally began as a logotype meant to compete with the likes of the NoTW brand. It eventually evolved into an online presence/storefront. We were able to complete the job on schedule and well within budget by creative use of the free (as in beer) Blogger engine, free (as in Iraq) Zazzle storefront, and our inimitable drive to create kick-ass websites. In a few days' time, our client had a place to send her customers to make purchases as well as find out more about Standing on the Word (or SoTW, for the abbreviation-oriented). Behold, the power of the web! Brought to you by Lethal Døs, commercial-free (as in “without”). Click on the image to experience the magic.

Our beloved mentor…

…the great Santo, masked avenger of the Mexican cinema and our inspiration. True, he wasn't much of graphic designer, but what his hands couldn't design, his fists could pound into meal; a delicious meal of destruction and justice. Watch and learn; then contact us and let us show you how we can metaphorically apply similar techniques to the problems you're having getting your product or website done on time and on budget!

Put down that chair…

…first of all, it's an illegal, foreign object in the ring. Plus, we'll need a place to sit while we fix your website. Our mugs, however, will break nicely over an opponent's skull. We don't really like coffee anyway. Taints the spirit and all.
