FRANCHISE BRANDING

The logos and colors worn by players spark feelings of pride and team loyalty. When a franchise determines that it’s time to refresh its identity, special care must be taken to preserve the brand DNA that is at the heart and soul of the team.

Examples: Uniforms for Tampa Bay Rays, Anaheim Ducks, and Edmonton Oilers.

ORGANIZATIONS & PRODUCTS

Organizations and manufacturers with sports DNA in their blood appreciate a design aesthetic that’s born from a creative agency with a sports branding pedigree.

Examples: RINK Training Centre, Sports ETA, ACES, SwingXP, Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center, and Kitty Hawk Kites.

THEME & SUPPORT ART

Logos are just one component of a visual identity. Creating brand immersion requires versatility and adaptability. Collections of support art provide a “toolbox” of assets that ensure continuity, whether on a digital header or covering the face of a building.

Examples: NHL Winter Classic, MLB All-Star Game, and NHL Heritage Classic.

CUSTOM TYPOGRAPHY

A custom typeface is one of the most versatile and valuable brand messaging tools in a brand owner’s toolbox. It allows for less formal communication in print, broadcast, sponsorship, and merchandising.

Learn more about our custom typefaces.

Examples: Toronto Blue Jays, Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Angels All-Star Game, New York Mets, Nashville Predators All-Star, and Boston Red Sox.

SMALL MARKET IDENTITIES

We build small market team identities around the same basic brand architecture we use for major league franchises. While the volume and scope of branded communications are less intense, a basic foundation of branding tools are needed to communicate with all stakeholders and grow the brand.

Examples: Winnipeg Ice, Saint John Flames, Hamilton Bulldogs, and National Family Tennis.

STARS & CELEBRITIES

High-profile personalities from the sports and entertainment industries have learned to elevate their personal brands using the same sophisticated branding packages as teams and leagues.

Examples: October’s Very Own Drake x Toronto Blue Jays, Dave Winfield, EJ Manuel, and First Picks Sports.
