Corporate
Fight with grit, engineer with precision.
Minutemen Racing is a student run racing team, founded in 2021. After using a single logo for a long time, they reached out to us to upgrade their branding. Working with local designer Eren Erden, we came up with something pretty special. We wanted to keep the color identity of UMass, but wanted to make it feel more extreme than the typical muted UMass red and white. The brand design goals was twofold: to have a 'badass' design for students to be attracted to, but also allow for corporate usage for finding sponsors within industry. We provided 3D renderings of their car, giving funders a chance to see what they were supporting before the physical car was finished. Logos and type were inspired by racing trends and engineering drawing aesthetics, combined with a bit of grit where the rubber meets the road.
Logomark
Built for speed.
Repeated angular lines give a sense of motion, while the bold font helps keep the form balanced. With the addition of the signature lightning bolt, you know these guys aren't slowpokes.
