Philadelphia Comets

Championship logos developed for the Philadelphia Comets' 2012 and 2013 seasons.

One of my first commissioned projects began with the Philadelphia Comets, a team out of the Greater Philadelphia Men's Adult Baseball League (GPMABL) back in 2010. Shortly after, the Comets rattled off consecutive championship seasons in 2012 and 2013 and I was presented with the opportunity to create a commemorative logo.

"League" Typeface

League is a hard-working modified block typeface that caters to (but is certainly not limited to) the sports branding industry. This typeface features a unique take on the traditional collegiate block and sprinkles in varying contrast, modernity, and flair.

League features four different styles: Standard, Bold, Sheared, and Bold Sheared. Each style is crafted to spotlight a competitive edge to your design.

Though developed for the purpose of sports branding and similar material, League performs well on many stages. This typeface was born during a week-long moonshine tour in Eastern Tennessee, inspired by sturdy, industrialized, no-nonsense typefaces that get the job done. Try it on your brewery branding and packaging projects and let League do the work.

Note: The type treatments and effects in the presentation are not included with the font purchase.

League can be purchased at the Creative Market.

Lettering Projects

A series of personal and commissioned custom hand-lettering work. 

Prestidigitators

An illustration done for a figure in the magic industry. The concept was to create a faux sports team for FUN Incorporated, a large factory for magic tricks and gag novelties, most notably known for creating fake vomit and oversized sun glasses. The name "The Prestidigitators" originally started with "Magicman", and the client evolved it from there.

Go Cubs Go

Some fun typography for my favorite baseball team (and 2016 World Series Champs!).
