Black Bulls
Associação Black Bulls had an outdated logo that lacked personality. It felt generic and did nothing to capture the club's fighting spirit. They needed a fresh mark that could stand on its own.
[Overview]
I rebuilt their identity from the ground up—starting with research, sketching, and refining until the new bull embodied power and precision. The result is a versatile logo system ready for any application.
The new identity reinvigorated the club's visual presence. Fans responded immediately, and the refreshed branding now anchors everything from jerseys to stadium signage.

[The Challenge]
Outgrowing the Legacy
The Starting Point: Black Bulls came to me with a logo that had served them for years—but no longer represented who they were. It was time for something bolder.
[Research]
Defining the DNA
Research & Direction: I studied the original mark as the primary style and pose reference, gathering material to define a new visual language—studying stylized animal marks that conveyed strength without losing clarity.
[Execution]
From Sketch to Symbol
From Sketch to Symbol: The first rough sketch captured the aggressive forward motion. From there, I refined the linework until every curve felt intentional.
[Conceptualizing]
Visual Evolution
Visual Evolution: I presented three distinct directions to the client. Concept 1 remains closer to a refined rebrand of the original legacy mark, while the subsequent directions explore more unique and aggressive interpretations. Concept 3 was the final selection for the new identity.

The Final Mark
The Final Mark: A charging bull that commands attention. Built for versatility—from stadium banners to embroidered patches.
[Versatility]
Logo Variations
Logo Variations: A complete system of lockups ensures consistent application across any context—light backgrounds, dark backgrounds, or single-color printing.
[Impact]
Real-World Application
In Context: The new identity translates seamlessly to real-world applications—from jerseys to stadium flags.
