This week's episode is about the almost rebrand of Watford Football Club by St Albans based designer, Marcus Dilley, and Portland US based sports logo specialist, Brian Gundell. This summer, Talenthouse advertised a logo rebrand (paid) contest for designers to redesign the iconic Watford FC badge/crest that had been in place for 40 years. Watford are 'The Hornets' and in the past their badge has been depicted as such. In recent years, also affectionately know as 'The Graham Taylor Era' the Watford badge has depicted a Moose looking Hart. Was it time to change, go back to the hornets? That's what this contest was about and there were some great designs submitted. The 'finalist' was a joint effort by Marcus Dilley and Brian Gundell. We talk about their process and story to the point where they just lost out with 40% of the vote against 60% for the current badge. This is what happened...https://www.watfordfc.com/club/club-crest-designs-futurehttps://www.talenthouse.com/i/design-the-new-official-badge-for-watford-football-clubhttps://www.talenthouse.com/i/1632/submission/381702/d7db0b9ahttps://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/18049561.watford-supporters-vote-favour-keeping-current-club-crest/

On this episode, we have a crossover episode of sorts as I bring you the raw and uncut audio from a Q&A on SportsLogos.net I conducted with Brian Gundell of Brian Gundell Graphic Design Co. and Brandon Moore of the Miami Dolphins regarding their open branding freelance project for Baseball New Zealand. We discuss how the idea came about to publish a public log of process work for branding a sports organization like Baseball NZ, as well as chat about the challenges of working across 3 timezones, including one that is 18 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. We also chat about how the designers are compensating for the cultural knowledge and differences in having never been to New Zealand or being intimately familiar with NZ heritage. In addition, we discuss how the designers plan to veer from New Zealand's biggest sports brand, the All Blacks, in order to build a brand of its own for baseball.

“You should start spending a half-hour a day learning Cinema 4D to advance your design repertoire. It's not hard, it will make you better.” ESPN College Football, Mike & Mike, NBA on ESPN, the 2014 World Cup—do these brands ring a bell? Our guest this week is Tim O'Shaughnessy, broadcast art director at ESPN, and has worked on graphics packages for each of these TV brands. We discuss Tim's undergrad degree in psychology and how it aids him in his work as an art director and empathizing with his intended audience or designers he art directs. Music is an art that influences many designers. Tim is no different. We chat about why designers tend to either be musicians or appreciate music so much, including recognizing creative patterns and applying them to their own work. We touch on the trend of amateur animaged GIFs in college sports and what makes an actual "animation" vs. turning off a layer in Photoshop. Lastly, Tim gives us deep insight into some of the processes the broadcast department uses at ESPN including working with agencies or freelancers, rendering matte paintings, developing an overall vissual language for a show or event, animation engines & software being used, as well as the behehmoth of a project he worked on with LoyalKaspar for the new ESPN College Football motion package which is up for an EMMY.

Always be open to critique.” On this week’s podcast, Mekale Jackson from St. John's University athletics joins us to discuss working for New York's college hoops program. Mekale gives us some insight into his background prior to St. John's where he discovered graphic design & Photoshop in college as an English major at the University of Michigan by stumbling across a fraternity flyer. Detroit, Mekale's hometown, is a place of inspiration for creativity and art despite the negative stereotypes the Internet & media says about the city and Mekale shares his love for the city with us including a few fav artists he follows. We also discuss Under Armour's relationship with St. John's basketball, its value to the school for recruiting and brand recognition, as well as that one time Steph Curry practiced in their facilties.
