We developed an identity that celebrated Raptors’ fans outsider attitude. We moved the logo beyond its cartoonish dinosaur beginnings. Our resulting design strategy sought to capture the behaviour and aggression of a Jurassic raptor rather than just illustrate a literal interpretation of one. We translated that aggression to a logo with a claw tear through the ball in negative space – a simple but bold mark.
