Vintage New Britain Machine Company Logo - Circa 1924

The New Britain Machine Company was founded in 1887 in New Britain, Connecticut. By the early 1900s, the company was offering sockets and drive tools, intended primarily for automotive service, a rapidly growing market at that time. These early tools were sold under either the New Britain or "None Better" brand, the latter name a play on the letters "NB" for New Britain. (Source: Alloy-Artifacts.org)

This logo was trademarked in 1924 and I recreated a vector version of it in Illustrator, applied the cracked textures using the Plastisol brushes in Photoshop, then placed it on a layered t-shirt photo from Antonio Padilla of GrahpicHero Co.
