Thales Academy Patriots — Athletic Logo & Mascot Design
A logo for Thales Academy’s Patriots in Pittsboro, North Carolina, built around a bold patriot mascot with a determined expression and distinctive silhouette.
My approach follows a “less is more” philosophy: simplify the artwork while preserving the character and intensity that give a sports identity its presence. Strong shapes, controlled detail, and a navy, gold, and white palette help the mark read clearly across different sizes and applications.
The presentation mockups show how the identity translates to helmets, apparel, flags, court graphics, and merchandise.
Superb work!
Second #Rive animation locked in! 🏰✨
For this build, I designed and animated a gothic portcullis interactive UI element triggered by a glowing gemstone mechanism.
What I focused on for this experiment:
End-to-end vector design in Rive: Built entirely from scratch inside Rive to dust off my vectoring skills and master its native pathing/drawing tools.
Interactive State Machines: Configured the click logic using listener triggers to handle the open/close state loop smoothly.
Gothic UI Aesthetics: Balanced heavy metallic structures with subtle vector lighting to keep that dark fantasy feel.
Still diving deeper into interactive vector motion every day! What do you all think of the timing and state transitions?

Cool gothic style!
