sparkychewbarky Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hey Folks! Many moons ago... I had the privilege of playing lacrosse for the historic "Brampton Excelsiors", on their Jr.A & Jr.B teams. Fantastic game...had a great time...many great stories ( saturday night in Huntsville ). Took quite a few stitches to the mug, but it only added to my rugged, good looks ... Anyway, the city of Brampton, and the Excelsiors Lacrosse Club is hosting the 2020 Founders Cup Canadian Jr.B Championship !!! Last year's tournament took place in Winnipeg, with the Calgary Shamrocks defeating the Six Nations Rebels for the golden cup. As an alumni, I was honoured to be asked to design the event logo. The cup itself is a beauty... ...which made my job a little easier...make the cup the centre-piece of the logo. First step...rough sketches...the club decided to do something like this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Next step was to create a simplified cup graphic, and develop some text. We decided on a vintage look, so I hand-lettered a "Founders Cup" title... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 So, with the cup & title graphics done, I put them together with a couple of vintage crossed lacrosse sticks and a "Brampton" banner. I gave the lettering a white drop shadow to suggest that the words are engraved into the cup... This is a national championship, so I placed a classic, red maple leaf in behind... Voila!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
