This is a little off topic for me, but I found this website, and thought it was interesting.

Sydney Beach volleyball School logo

Quite a few years ago now, I created the SBVBS logo. To be fair, the client had a lot of input so I can’t claim the concept as entirely my own. The design was based around three themes, a volleyball, the ocean and the sand. The shadow below the ball shows the contour of the sand, the volleyball itself is fairly self explanitory, and the colours are also quite obvious. Yellow sand and blue ocean and sky.

This design was thoroughly thought out and we went through at least 50 alternatives. (We came up with few other good devices in the process which I’ll post a bit later on.)

Applications: Business cards, signage, flyers, website, van signage, A-frames, volleyballs, clothing… in fact it was plastered on just about everything you can imagine.

Here’s the away strip.
