We came up with a mascot idea and i ran with it.
Here are the original sketches of Oliver. I basically fleshed out the Oliver Fitch logo and turned him into a drunk, football carrying potato.
Heres the final flyer. I went with a sort of vintage, fight poster look.
Im not completely happy with the mascot, but it was a rush job and i had to get it done so it could hang up for at least a week before the game.
I really like how the overall layout of the flyer looks though. I went with some rounded, bubbly typefaces that i usually avoid, to break out of my comfort zone. I like how it turned out though and its still definitely my style of typography.


looks good. i think the spud could use some texture though, otherwise he looks kinda like a fat blob. or a deformed peanut.
something about the copy above oliver's head bugs me but i can't put my finger on what exactly. still rocks though. i was ready to mention something about the fonts before i finished reading the post. very un-chris typefaces.
Yong, I wouldve preferred some sort of texture as well. Deadlines though. I had to get it done so i left it as is.
P, Good eye. The spacing is off on the title type. That typeface is pretty spaced out and i forgot to adjust the kerning on that part.
