BACKGROUND
The shirt draws from Y2K and futuristic design elements to reflect the theme and energy of RecFest. The layout highlights UREC offerings such as weightlifting and intramurals, with a swoosh connecting the back typography to a dodgeball player illustration. Repeated typography, layered athlete imagery, and technical line details add motion and depth throughout the design.
LOGO DESIGN
The logo was built around a cosmic theme, using Saturn-inspired rings around “RECFEST” to reinforce the space concept and add visual weight to the mark. The tilted typography gives the logo a futuristic, energetic feel that reflects the atmosphere of the event.
During the design process, I explored different color palettes, star styles, typography treatments, and layouts to refine the logo’s readability and visual impact. The final design features a star inside the “R,” adding a subtle detail that ties the cosmic concept together.
