Why 9Volt?
Why 9Volt?
OK so this sounds like I'm makin' this up, but one day I found myself in a situation where I was "dared" into getting a free tattoo by my tattoo artist pal Sean from Boise. I had 15 minutes to decide what was going to be on my person forever (or I would be mocked forever). So i went through some cool retro logo books lying around and found some cool electric logos- but they were too cartoony. Then I remembered that cool 9 cat on the EVEREADY battery. So I ran across the street and bought that battery and had him draw it up and tat my calf. It was the most spontaneously stupid thing I had ever done...bar none. So, I decided to document that moment by starting my own biz and naming it after my tat. For my logo, I just took out the cat, left the 9, and focused on the energy bolt for my design logo. I now have 9 lives left (already used at least a few). So let me energize your company with the power of the black cat today!
