Commissioned by the head football coach at Phelps SHS in Washington, DC, to  come up with new branding for his program which is only two years old. 

Coach started the program using marks of the Caronlina Panthers, so he wanted to keep the new branding in the same lane that would still attract attention to his team but could be longstanding in the school heritage and tradition.
