I was asked by the general manager at iFLY Portland to create logos and a simple shirt design for the tunnel’s one‑year anniversary. I based the logo on one of Portland’s most iconic neon signs, incorporating the iFLY “fly guy” and refining the typography until we landed on a final version that was approved for sticker production.
The anniversary shirt originally began as a colorful tie‑dye concept featuring the building, but due to time and budget constraints, it evolved into a blueprint‑inspired design printed on a clean blue shirt.

Later that year, I was asked to create a kids league, and with it, a team identity for competitions. A fellow shift supervisor pitched a Pterodactyls‑themed name and logo to help energize the young flyers joining the league. The initial sketches were considered a bit too cute, so I shifted toward a more realistic silhouette with an e‑sports‑style edge.
The final colors were pulled from iFLY’s official brand palette, and the finished logo was printed on posters and handouts for the league.
