The work between the work.
Explorations - where curiosity leads the process. Some projects revisit existing brands through a new lens. Others imagine entirely new teams rooted in place, history, or culture. None were commissioned, but each is treated as if it were, with the same research, strategy, and attention to detail that defines the client work.

Washington RedTails
The Washington RedTails rebrand honors the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen while embracing Washington, D.C.'s role as the nation's city of memorials. Retaining the familiar "Red_____" naming convention creates a respectful bridge to the franchise's past, while WWII fighter aircraft-inspired graphics, military markings, and a stronger emphasis on the District itself forge a bold identity rooted in courage, service, and the capital's unique history. An accompanying throwback uniform reimagines one of the franchise's historic looks through the lens of the RedTails identity, preserving its classic aesthetic while replacing legacy branding.

FC Darwin
Inspired by the unique natural and cultural heritage of Australia's Top End, the FC Darwin identity centers on the vibrant Gouldian Finch - a species native to the Northern Territory and a fitting tribute to Charles Darwin, whose groundbreaking observations of finches shaped modern evolutionary science. The finch's brilliant plumage drives the club's bold color palette, while the stars of the Southern Cross and an Aboriginal-inspired motif surrounding the Commonwealth Star celebrate the connection to Country.

1.FC Koln
This rebrand for 1. FC Köln distills the club's most iconic elements into a bold, modern mark that remains unmistakably Köln. The club's signature rising wordmark is reimagined as a pedestal for a simplified goat, whose cathedral-inspired horns pay homage to the twin spires of Cologne Cathedral, creating a timeless symbol rooted in the city's identity.

Madison Muskies
A modernized muskie mascot brings more personality and attitude to the mark, while the updated logo remains a clear evolution of the team's previous identity, preserving its recognizable silhouette and spirit. The refreshed branding blends tradition with contemporary design, creating a distinctive look that celebrates Madison's fishing heritage with brighter colors, sharper graphics, and a more dynamic visual presence.
