Cross Platform Campaign

Brand Identity Cross Platform

Jackson Ultima is a long-standing figure skating brand under Tournament Sports. However, their current branding feels dated and understated as they cater to an athletic and powerful demographic. I wanted to highlight this while keeping some brand equity with the colour blue and retaining the triangle motif from their logo.

The rebrand represents individuals who are fearless and dauntless and crave to be apart of a community of like-minded individuals. This brand is to compete on the same levels as the top dogs in the sports industry and serves to inspire people to get out there and compete.

STRATEGY: Research, Branding & Visual Design

IDENTITY: Logo, Identity System, Branding & Visual Design

DELIVERABLES: Cross Platform

Visual Ideation & Brand Standards

For my visual ideation, I first started with some basic word listing to get a good sense of the visual direction I wanted to pursue. From this, I learned that I wanted to emphasize a sense of motion within the branding. I knew that figure skaters typically create choreography plans that show visual motion through lines. To replicate this, I opted to use text along a path of motion instead to create something less expected. After this, I paired simple typography to emphasize a sense of balance. Finally, I chose to keep the signature Jackson Ultima blue for the color palette to retain brand equity and included a pink to add a refined touch.
