A modernised mark

The brief was to feel current without losing the club. I kept the devil and tightened the vector construction so it holds at small sizes and in digital, where the old mark struggled. Angular type for aggression, rounded corners for a bit of vintage.

The prototype site

Built from scratch and modelled on professional NRL club sites, so the brand could be judged in something close to the real thing rather than a static mockup.

Out in the world

And how the refreshed mark would carry into the club's physical spaces.

ROLE

Sole designer and developer. Refreshed the brand (modernised primary mark, kept the devil) and built a prototype website from scratch modelled on professional NRL club sites.

PROBLEM

Norths Devils needed an identity that felt current and dynamic without losing the club's history. The existing mark struggled at small sizes and in digital. The site concept was built alongside the brand to show how it would work in practice.

OUTCOME

Speculative work. Not adopted by the club. Built as a self-initiated concept.
