Can't Win Them All

Recently, I worked with the Corpus Christi IceRays on a pitch to bring the Robertson to the Coastal Bend.  For those of you who don't know, the Robertson Cup is to the NAHL as the Stanley Cup is to the NHL.  Each year, there is host city selected....sort of like how the Final Four in NCAA Basketball.  

My part was to design the logo for the tournament (if it came to Corpus Christi).  This was the first logo of its kind that I've ever has the chance to design.  The biggest difficulty was attempting to match the style of the logo to match the rest of league.

Each graphic design has it's own niches and style, just like a chef cooks a certain type of food or an author writes in a particular way.  In an odd way, I had a lot of fun working on this logo.  Though it kept me up to late, it was a big challenge that I enjoyed taking on.

The other challenge with this one was incorporating a wide variety of elements into one cohesive logo.  I had to include the name of the event, the cup itself, dates, plus, a touch of Corpus Christi.



Unfortunately, the IceRays didn't win the bid, so the only place you'll be seeing this logo is right here, but it definitely one of those projects I had fun doing.
