In my talk in Ayala Museum last year, I was asked what's next for me. My answer was that I'd like to "give back".

Along with the talented illustrator Feanne, we've designed a t-shirt for a cause, where all proceeds go to Architecture for Humanity's Philippine Floods Response Program. Basically Feanne did the illustration and I provided some direction and coloring haha.

The program's goal is to raise $100,000 for the program. The sale of the t-shirt is our own little way to help achieve this. The design contains endangered Philippine species as both national symbols, and as symbols of our hope to use our land more wisely.

Hope you can support by buying some t-shirts or spreading the word to your network!

Thank you so much.

AJ

So I decided to create my own take on what I think Nike could do for him in terms of branding and identity. I'm not an expert in this field so I did this exercise to hone my skills.
Below are a few ideas. If you like what you see, let’s work together. 

Disclaimer:
*this is not an official Nike (Jeremy Lin) logo
*all photos used are not my own, if you are the owner and wish for me to take it down please contact ajd@collision-theory.com

PROCESS


I started sketching out ideas. Exploring several possible directions. Playing around with his initials, "JL" and his jersey number "17". I also explored doing a logo based on "LIN" or "JLIN". 



I then started picking out some directions I thought would work and went on to recreate them in Adobe Illustrator. I really liked using "JL" because of the symmetry of the letters. You can essentially create the "J" and just flip it horizontally to use as the "L".

I also liked the idea of of designing "LIN" as an ambigram. It worked because the "in" also become his jersey number "17". 

The other directions included designing "JLIN" or "JL17" and make it look like Chinese characters. But not really sure if this is ok given the cultural implications.

I felt strongly about the solution below because it was flexible enough to be used in many ways. As "JL", "JLIN", or "JL17". And by playing around the placement of "JL" and "IN/17", I found out that it creates a cross based on the negative space. As some people know, Jeremy Lin is very open about his faith.

Application
The next part was to apply the logo on posters, apparel, and other merchandise. Nike, after all, needs to sell products. I love the blue and orange of the New York Knicks so this was my jump-off point in choosing the colors. 
Posters
Shoes
Apparel
Patterns
