Harlem Globetrotters Rebrand

The Harlem Globetrotters, “the world’s basketball team” are the subject of my Media Campaigns Rebranding project. Though they recently went through a rebrand, this is an alternate brand that expresses more maturity.

My objective for this rebranding was to keep the original elements of the current logo while bringing more simplicity and maturity to the logo. Alongside a new logo, I created a new color palette, typography, and designed new uniforms for the team. Thesequalities came together very well in a new video presentation pitching the new campaign.
