John Scofield

Day 11
#91 – John Scofield (b.1951). Also known as ‘Sco’. American jazz-rock guitarist and composer. Albums include: Hand Jive (1993), A Go Go (1997) and Überjam (2002).

‘Sco’ being such nice letterforms became the starting point and my first thought was to use the strings over the letters to suggest a guitar. Whilst the semi-acoustic guitar does not have a sound-hole, it looked so powerful that this became the final solution.
