In July 2019, I submitted this design for Talenthouse’s open call to redesign Watford Football Club’s crest.
The brief was to “design a new official badge for Watford FC that brings to life the club’s culture and nickname, ‘The Hornets’ in a modern way.” On the famous black and yellow stripes, I have created this striking new badge, featuring the hornet and switching the fill of the crest to red and yellow to really make the hornet stand out. The Hornet inspired and replicating the shape of the 1972 badge, works as its own recognisable icon to be used on clothing and as a secondary option.
A fan vote will then decide if one of the Finalist badges or the existing badge will be selected to represent Watford FC from summer 2020 onwards.
