I grew up with a background in figure skating, a sport in which one must be outwardly graceful. Roller derby seemed to be the complete opposite of figure skating, and I initially approached this design thinking "brawny! scrappy! muscular!"

Through collaboration with Slam however, I quickly realized that there's so much grace in the sport, and the logos needed to evoke strength but also feminimity (without feeling too sexualized as roller derby merchandise can often be). It was such a rewarding experience working with these folks, and I'm proud of how the final designs turned out.
