VolleyballDemon Beater Uppers
A high school volleyball team needed a title graphic with the energy of a video game — bold, layered, and loud enough to live on a banner, a shirt, and a jumbotron simultaneously.
A high school volleyball team needed a title graphic with the energy of a video game — bold, layered, and loud enough to live on a banner, a shirt, and a jumbotron simultaneously.
The Volleyball Demon Beater Uppers needed an identity that felt like a video game title screen — layered dimensional typography, glowing effects, and the kind of raw energy that makes a gym go loud when it drops on the scoreboard.
The name itself is a challenge — three distinct words that need to read as one unified graphic at multiple scales. The solution: a three-tier typographic stack where each word gets its own treatment, color, and visual weight while locking together as a single composition.
Every great graphic starts with pencil and paper. Here's the full pipeline — from initial character concepts on notebook paper to the finished title graphic.
The sketches reveal the thinking behind the project — two distinct character types developed simultaneously to build out the full world of the Demon Beater Uppers.
The title graphic works because each word gets its own typographic personality while the overall composition reads as unified.
