Derek Carr DC4 Logo

​

Derek Carr is an NFL Quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints. He requested a logo that included the alphanumeric "DC4" for his initials and jersey number, with not too much detail on what else he wanted included. After doing research, I came up with multiple options that included symbols that represented speed, agility, and accuracy, traits needed by a player of his position.

​

The final design was meant to be a special nod to his offensive line, with the four corners of the logo representing his teammates providing protection all around, something that quarterbacks are thankful for and allows them to perform their best. The symmetry of the logo represents reflection, as well as the clashing of both sides on the field. The shapes and directions of the letters represent the routes that receivers run.
