Art B25 - Typography
Sports Team Logo

Design a logotype and symbol for a sports team.

The symbol may be a mascot, but if you choose to portray a mascot, I strongly recommend that you use a high contrast silhouette, as seen on the examples to the right.

Concentrate on the logotype first. It must be resolved before you add anything else.

Start with research and then proceed to concept.

I want to see a minimum of 10 ideas before you proceed to the computer.

Make up a team or choose a team that has no logotype. You cannot simply redesign an existing team's logo.

Consider:

What are some general attributes of sports team logos and symbols?

How would you characterize the colors generally used?

What kinds of typefaces are utilized?
