OpenSRS sports team logos
Several weeks ago, Ken at OpenSRS asked if I’d be interested in helping him invent some sports teams to exist in the OpenSRS universe — sports teams that the mascots and characters that populate their website would potentially join or be fans of. These teams would be realized in the form of t-shirts for OpenSRS staff and clients. Here are the final designs, which I think turned out great. In addition to designing the logos, I also got to brainstorm and give the teams their tames.





I thought I’d share some of my process. After zeroing in on the team names (rejected ideas included the Zambonis, Netizens, Dribblers, and Bowl Weevils) I sketched up some rough ideas: 
Ken liked these, but wanted these shirts to be tied closer to the OpenSRS branding. I took my favourites from the various roughs, and redesigned them to incorporate the colours, shield, and star from the OpenSRS logo: 
Eventually we used different colours for each sport, but these refined roughs were enough for me to then create the final versions.
