WAWG Sharks – Team Identity Design

Designing a bold, competitive identity for a youth basketball team through a hands-on creative workshop.

The goal of this project was to create a strong and recognizable team identity for a youth basketball program.

Beyond just designing a logo, the challenge was to involve the players in the creative process—helping them understand branding while turning their ideas into a professional team mark.

Instead of designing in isolation, I led a collaborative workshop with the team.

The players learned what a logo is, explored different styles, and sketched their own ideas based on what they felt represented their team.

This process allowed the final design to reflect both professional execution and the team’s personality.

The direction focused on creating a mascot-style logo that felt aggressive, energetic, and competitive.

The shark was chosen as the central symbol to represent strength, fearlessness, and dominance on the court.

The final logo combines a bold shark mascot with strong typography to create a dynamic and memorable identity.

The design balances movement and structure, making it suitable for uniforms, merchandise, and digital use.

The identity was designed to be versatile across multiple applications including uniforms, apparel, and promotional materials.

This project gave young athletes the opportunity to participate in the creative process and see their ideas come to life.

The final result is more than just a logo—it’s a team identity that the players can take pride in both on and off the court.

Projects like this highlight the power of design in building confidence, identity, and community through creativity.
