MG helmets Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I see that there are a lot of professional, semi-professional, and amateur graphic designers here. I was curious to what your "Holy Grail" design project would be. What would be the one phone call you'd love to get from a pro team or college to re-design their brand? Is it a project you'd just love to tackle or your favorite team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdougfresh Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If a Fortune 500 company called me and asked me to design their visual identity (logos, print, web, etc.). I'm not so great at sports logos, but I feel a lot better about corporate branding-- there are fewer "rules". I've done this type of project quite a few times for smaller/local businesses, but doing it for a big company would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimEOBrien Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I would love to be in charge of a university's identity from top to bottom. From athletic uniforms to school colors to academic letterhead, that would be the best.I mean, all the little things - signs on campus, campus maps, etc. - would really be the fun parts.

I'd also like to do it for a professional team. Top to bottom identity, including a great collection of fan apparel, signage, letterhead, field markings, uniforms, interior design of the stadium, the works. Too often great pieces of an identity are ruined by other parts of it because the designer of this didn't talk to the designer of that, and the team didn't give a hoot to try to communicate with all those involved.

oddball Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's not a sports franchise that I'd love to get, it's designing the whole spectrum for race teams from cars, to driver and crew helmets and uniforms, to haulers to merchandise and websites, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 MLB franchise. Since the Cardinals are my favorite team, and in no need of a change, ever, just about any of the other teams in need of one would do. Hypothetically, designing the first identity of an expansion would be a great challenge. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54Chevy Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Good thread idea.I've had the opportunity to design a minor league team's program, and was thrilled that they were receptive to the nostalgic style I do. I would love to expand on that and design signage, etc. in a ballpark to give it the same vintage feel.And a college athletic mark would be cool too.

That's would be an awesome assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDixonDesign Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I can honestly say that my "Holy Grail" would not to be designing a whole team's identity, but to rather be an Art Director or Artist for a major sports team. Teams with fantastic identities in place, i'd love to continue to grow the brand, and point the ship for the team, through marketing campaigns, brand management, etc...

nash61 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Since i have no drawing ability, I'd love to take on an NHL team that already has a classic logo, but needs a jersey redesign.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
