Scottish Esports League

Identity Design, Broadcast package, Social and OOH campaigns

The brief

The biggest esports event in Scotland, in it's 4th year was preparing for the announced Dundee Esports Arena. The brand needed to reflect the intent of the league and make a more engaging spectator experience across the 5 games being competed in.

The execution

The identity required a colour & logo system for all imagery to be synonymous with the brand in all its facets. We also wanted to make the league feel inherently scottish but not overtly so took inspiration from national symbols of the saltire and stags.

Alongside this I was Creative Director for the Scottish Esports League and other IP.  In addition I secured and maintained partnership relations with sponsors including Lenovo Legion, Currys, Irn Bru, and more.
