Hawks 50th Anniversary
Celebrating 50 Years
The Atlanta Hawks faced the challenge of commemorating their 50th anniversary in a way that celebrated their rich history while also reflecting their forward-thinking and innovative approach to the game.
Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future
The goal was to create a cohesive branding and design strategy for the 50th anniversary celebration, encompassing a new logo, special edition jerseys, and a commemorative court design. The aim was to capture the essence of the Hawks' legacy while infusing it with a modern twist that resonated with fans and players alike.
Striking Gold
Tantrum Agency partnered with the Atlanta Hawks to design a striking new logo that incorporated gold accents to signify the milestone anniversary. They crafted special edition jerseys featuring a unique feather pattern inspired by the Hawks' iconic phoenix motif, symbolizing growth and transformation. Additionally, Tantrum created a commemorative court design that honored the team's history while providing a clean and timeless playing surface. The result was a cohesive and visually stunning celebration of the Atlanta Hawks' 50 years of excellence in the NBA.
True To Atlanta
“We are going back to a simpler time, what the courts were 50 years ago, and calling out our 50th season in a big way at center court.”
