When redesigning the IceGators, I wanted to provide them with a modernized icon that paid tribute to their history and still had the aggressive and fun personality of their old brand.

COLORS

The new IceGators redesign works off of two new colors, Gator Green and Royalty Gold. The brand also utilizes pure black & white when needed, but green & gold are the main two colors that brand icons should be utilizing.

TYPOGRAPHY

TYPOGRAPHY

The main serif font for the IceGators is "Industry Black" with the supporting script being "Fenway Park". The word Louisiana must always appear in gold, and the IceGators word accompanies it, it must be in white. If both words are in "Industry Black", then it can be either white or gold depending on the background.

When redesigning the IceGators uniforms, my approach focused on enhancing the team's visual identity with a nod to Louisiana’s rich culture. I introduced a new gold shade inspired by the elegance and vibrancy of New Orleans, making it more striking and sophisticated. The green, a key element of the original design, was retained but deepened to a richer tone, adding depth and distinction. This combination brought a bold yet cohesive look to the uniforms, modernizing the aesthetic while maintaining the team's traditional spirit.
