Senior Thesis Show
For his senior show, Benjamin Yelich sought to showcase his logo design skills and understanding of sports design through the creation of a fictional university, Grand Island University. He developed a complete visual identity for the university’s athletic program, including logos, uniforms, game-day posters, game-day programs, screen-printed T-shirts, and a Hall of Fame wall. The project allowed him to explore how a cohesive sports identity can be carried across a wide range of applications and experiences.
