The Challenge

The identity needed to be clean and modern, while still conforming to the traditional badge most professional football teams sport. A muted, darker color palette was also requested.

Result

The final badge featured the mythical legend, a griffin — symbol of courage, strength, and leadership. The "G" within the LEGENDS typeface mirrors the swooping movement in the logomark, so it is recognizable even when used as a standalone wordmark.
