Celebrating our Birdland at Raven's Playoff!

A special game for Eva Barsin and I since we grew up in Northeast Ohio with the Cleveland Browns. Now being Maryland residents for many years, our team is the Ravens! When the Browns left Cleveland for Baltimore in 1995, I was working at Grafik Communications in Alexandria, VA. I was on the design team that pitched branding to the newly-formed Ravens. Grafik wasn’t rewarded the contract but it was a great experience to be at the Raven’s headquarters before they even had a logo. A couple of years ago, I created this Birdland crest for Citizen Pride. It has been one of our biggest sellers. Check it out here along with other Sports Fan Pride crests I have created.
