Logo Design Brief
🏈 Project Title: Cincinnati Dukes — Official Football Team Logo Design
Overview:
The Cincinnati Dukes are a new professional football team in the Continental Football League (CoFL).
We’re looking for a bold, timeless, and battle-ready logo that captures the strength, pride, and heritage of Cincinnati — a design fans will be proud to wear on game day.
This logo will appear everywhere: player helmets, uniforms, team merchandise, website, and social media.
It should feel professional, powerful, and instantly recognizable as a major football brand.
Creative Challenge:
Create a logo that feels like Cincinnati royalty meets football toughness.
Think “grit meets greatness” — something that can stand beside the NFL and NCAA elite while maintaining its own unique identity.
Design Direction:
Strong, clean lines with a professional sports aesthetic
A design that scales well for helmet decals, embroidery, and digital use
Can feature a crown, shield, “D” mark, or knight/royalty theme — open to your creative interpretation
Bold typography that feels athletic and confident
Official Team Colors:
Royal Blue (Primary)
Silver / Gray (Secondary)
White (Accent)
Please ensure the logo works on both dark and light backgrounds.
Applications:
Football helmets
Player uniforms & warmups
Fan merchandise (hoodies, hats, shirts)
Website & social media
Stadium signage & banners
Optional Text Versions:
Full: Cincinnati Dukes
Alternate: Dukes
Avoid:
Overly detailed or cartoon-style mascots
Thin or overly decorative fonts
Designs that rely too heavily on gradients or effects
Inspiration Keywords:
Powerful · Modern · Royal · Bold · Athletic · Classic · Iconic
Deliverables:
Primary full-color logo
One-color simplified version (for helmets)
Transparent background files (PNG/SVG preferred)
Optional horizontal and stacked versions
