eSports Club

September 2022 - October 2022

The eSports Club at Palo Alto High School (Paly) was created by my friends and I to connect gamers of my high school to have fun discussing and playing video games together.


As the nominated graphic designer and club officer, I created a logo that would distinctly represent our club.

Brainstorming

Before I started designing the logo, I needed to understand the parameters I would be working with. I looked at my school's publications and clubs to find 3 common themes.


- Color: All of them were a shade of our school's color green.


- Mascot: All of them had a reference to our school's Viking mascot. There were many Viking helmets and Viking ships.


- Distinction: All of them had an element that identified what they were. Ex. Gears for robotics and a podium for debate.

Initial Brainstorming

Sketches

After brainstorming, it was time to begin sketching. To match the aesthetic of other Paly clubs, I experimented with different ways to incorporate the 3 common themes I found into the logo design.


I tried incorporating different Viking helmets, horns, gaming headsets, gaming controllers, and more.

Exploration Sketches

Designs

My final design is a Viking with controller buttons for eyes. I used Adobe Illustrator to complete the logo.

Reflection

I am super happy how the logo turned out. It was lots of fun showing people my progress and asking for their feedback.


This project allowed me to be part of something bigger than myself. I'm super thankful for this opportunity to represent a community that I'm super passionate about in such an

impactful way.

Thanks for reading!
