CLIENT PROFILE

Brand positioning
-
New name
-
New logo and visual style

Core values

Defined vision, purpose and mission

The findings from this exercise provided the bedrock required to develop the rest of the branding elements on.
Core Values
Through research and workshops, the following core values were crafted and instilled in the organization:
​
Team-First
We put the needs of our community and each other ahead of everything else. Our connection is the core of what drives us forward.
Pathfinders
As pro-athletes, business leaders and influencers, we work together to pave new pathways to success and formidable legacies
Real
Being down-to-earth, direct and transparent is how we show up for our community and each other.
Committed
Through our unbridled dedication and support we will always strive to ensure success for our community.
Extraordinary
We've experienced the high-stakes of pressure and success, and now we ensure everything we touch has the same passion behind it.
NAMING PROCESS
Working closely with the founders, we implemented a weekly cadence to present, discuss and scrutinize concepts. We went through nearly 70 naming options, 25 of which we further researched, 11 of which we conducted an in-depth trademark analysis.
Through 8 rounds of revisions we proudly anointed the brand with its rightful name:
Won For All
​
MEANING
Won For All represents a realized mission. We found that its best described from the perspective of a Won For All client:
Throughout my life, I not only played to win for my fans, but for my family, my community, my teammates, and for myself. I strived to win not only in sports, but in my post-game career and in my personal life.
I won for all.
Additionally the name speaks to the connectivity of team, community and fandom; it's a nod to the adage "all for one, one for all".
Ultimately the name is an ode to victory, the future and legacy; what athletes strive to achieve in and out of their athletic careers.
LOGO AND IDENTITY
Building on the name, attributes and positioning, the logo was designed as a bold, dynamic and optimistic wordmark to bring the presence of the brand into relevance with its audience.
Ensuring that it produces beautifully on digital and physical mediums, we kept in mind the potential for this logo can be adopted as a wearable symbol or flag representing the purposeful nature of the brand.
