Iron Bears

FRC Team 854 has over 20 years of history competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition and continues to perform at the provincial level. For the 2024–2025 season, the team sought a visual refresh that reflected its longevity and competitive standing while unifying a collection of legacy graphics.

I modernized the team’s historical mechanical bear logo, preserving its recognizable character while refining its form and structure for contemporary use. From this mark, I developed a visual brand used across team apparel, pit signage, engraved robot decals, and other competition materials. All graphics were rebuilt as scalable vector assets to ensure consistent reproduction across formats while accommodating common fabrication constraints such as print size limits and engraving requirements.

The resulting identity maintained continuity with the team’s established orange and black school colors while introducing a cleaner, more modern aesthetic. The designs were produced as merchandise for team members and used throughout competitions, becoming the team’s active visual identity for the 2024–2025 season.
