Retro Hockey Challenge was a proposed charity event to raise money for Child’s Play charity. It would have been a video game marathon centered around 1990s-era hockey video games. The logo for Retro Hockey Challenge was designed to invoke an “old-time hockey” feel, deliberately older than the video games that would have been played. A […]
For DetroitHockey.Net’s fifteenth season, I designed a logo in the style of something that could be worn as an athletic jersey patch, like you would see a sports team do. I started with a vaguely-triangular shield shape, with an outlining pattern similar to that of the DetroitHockey.Net shield logo. That logo itself was perched at […]
The version of DetroitHockey.Net that launched in November of 2008 was intended to clean up several problems that had started happening on the site in the two years since its last redesign. First and foremost was that the Invision Power Board software was intended to be used with a wider site template, so in the […]
The August 2008 redesign of ClarkRasmussen.com came from frustration with another project. I needed to focus on something else and realized that it was time to rework one of my own sites so I did that. Intentionally, the site design was similar to some of my other sites. The basic structure (banner, horizontal navigation bar, […]
HockeySweaterNumbers.com was my first completely new personal site launch in several years. As such, it should come as no surprise that I borrowed from my existing sites. The color scheme of HSN was based on that of O6 Web Services and the basic site template was similar to DetroitHockey.Net. Completely unique to the new site […]
I made two major design changes to DetroitHockey.Net for the version that launched in October of 2006. The first was to abandon a “fluid” layout in favor of an “elastic” one and the second was to incorporate a horizontal – rather than vertical – navigation bar. The change to an elastic design was because of […]
The HockeyBird.com Tenth Season logo evolved from the Illustrator equivalent of a set of doodles. I was working on another project and was a little stuck so I started putting together ideas for a logo for HockeyBird.com’s upcoming 10th season. A set of three were developed, all with the same design but slightly different styling. […]
My wife and I were planning on having a luau-themed party on July 1, 2006. Even though we were in the U.S. we jokingly referred to it as our Canada Day luau. As the joke continued, I decided to make a logo for the event. The shape is meant to resemble the look of the […]
On February 27th, 2006, a new version of Michigan State University’s web site launched. The next night, a team at MSU’s Division of University Relations that included myself rolled out a series of new sites for the university administration. The updated sites were for the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, and […]
With the predecessor site of DetroitHockey.Net having been founded in 1996, I wanted to celebrate the site’s 10th season in 2006 with a logo. Unfortunately, it took me until over halfway through that season to come up with one. Sticking to my usual method of designing logos that could be worn as patches on a […]
