The Client

EikonaGrfxs Illustration & Design: Iron Legion Never Say Die Album Cover started as an original t shirt concept designed to capture the drama and adrenaline of WWII turret gunners. The project evolved into a full heavy metal style album/CD cover, ideal for music merchandise, collectable apparel, and promotional graphics.

The Goal

The goal for Iron Legion Never Say Die Album Cover was to convey the gritty, indomitable spirit of the WWII turret gunners—men who faced near-impossible missions with fearless resolve. Drawing on influences from 1980s heavy metal bands and the animated film Heavy Metal, I wanted the art to explode with energy, drama, and fantasy, blending war history with the visual language of metal music. Custom typography and bold vector illustration were used to forge a striking brand that could expand to various merchandise and event promotions.

The Result

Iron Legion Never Say Die delivers a powerful, over-the-top 80s metal aesthetic, combining vibrant poster-grade graphics with dramatic turret gunner imagery. Unique custom type and vector art bring dynamic motion and heroic scale, while thematic details reinforce the story of courage and defiance. The design works as both a CD album cover and a t-shirt graphic, and is poised for further adaptation to merchandise for fans of heavy metal and military history. This piece showcases my expertise in graphic design, illustration, custom type, and music merchandise branding—appealing to bands, brands, and anyone seeking bold, memorable artwork. Iron Legion Never Say Die Album Cover is a vivid example of merging story-driven art with merchandising, branding, and music promotion, making it perfect for the music industry, apparel collectors, or anyone who values iconic visual identity.
