Draft 2024:
A Spirit of
Optimism

We brought Detroit’s energy to life through typography, color, custom patterns, illustration, and stage design. From street pole banners and train wraps to the main stage itself, every piece was made to feel like it belonged, seamlessly woven into the city’s bold Art Deco backdrop.

We were inspired by the Guardian Building’s intricate Italian tilework, bold color palette, and crown jewel—a glowing glass and bronze clock at the center of it all.

TEAM PATTERNS

Each of the 32 teams got its own set of patterns, graphic elements, and hidden Easter eggs. The research process was equal parts meticulous and ridiculous—in the best way.

We partnered with this talented French artist to collaborate on team illustrations. Our focus was geometric minimalism & clean lines to complement our modern Art Deco aesthetic. Samy’s work perfectly encapsulates a modern Art Deco aesthetic, and working with our in-house illustrator, Brent McCarthy, an aesthetic that suited the theme was established seamlessly.
