HANOVER BEARS

Branding // Logo Design // Sports Marketing

brief:

In 2021, The Hanover High School student council voted to remove The Marauder team name and mascot.

After much debate, the council chose to rename the athletics teams “Hanover Bears” and created a design competition for a new “Bears” logo.

The bear should represent the school, the students, and its overall brand.

solution:

In March 2022, we submitted the following designs to the competition.

We started by looking at sports logos; often high school sports teams use very unoriginal logos and icons. Simple animal characters are often downloaded from vector sites and pasted onto sports gear.

Hanover is an award-winning school, offering its students access to the highest levels of education and sports. The school is known for its academic and creative surroundings so a simple bear head would simply not make the cut.

We offered Hanover a bold and original logo, something that couldn’t be mistaken for any other high school or college.

The design uses bold angled lettering to form the shape of a bear walking. We have deliberately chosen to avoid the classic angry bear as this doesn’t align with the school’s diplomatic policies.
