Bball in the sky

A winning logo contest entry for Bball in the sky, built on the client's existing wordmark and copy — my idea was the basketball flying through the clouds. After winning, I went on to animate the mark. One of my first graphic design projects, and a win during the pandemic.

The brief was a logo contest — the client already had the name and the copy in place. My idea was simple: a basketball arcing up through the clouds, becoming part of the wordmark itself.

After winning, I went back and animated the mark — the ball flying up through the clouds. It was one of the first things I made when I started out in graphic design, and winning the contest with it — in the middle of the pandemic — is still one of my favourite memories.
