A CREATIVE student bowled over the competition after designing two new logos for the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League.

Jodie Veale, a second-year graphic design student at Teesside University, created the logos after her lecturer Michael O’Malley asked his students to take part in the project.

Teesside University has sponsored the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League for ten years and this year, as part of the partnership, the University agreed to help in the search for new logos for the T20 and F15 competitions.

Despite being no expert on the sport, she was definitely up for the challenge.

“I started by researching cricket club logos to get a better feel and understanding of what they needed," she said.

“I noticed that many logos I came across were quite dated and very similar to each other, so I wanted to make something that would really make T20 and F15 stand out.”

She incorporated her own minimalistic, clean style into the designs and worked directly with the clients to create the perfect logos for their needs.

The designs were unveiled at the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League pre-season meeting of clubs, hosted at the University’s Middlesbrough campus, where Jodie was presented with a cash prize by Chris West, President of the League.

Mr West said: “Jodie was professional throughout and took all of our feedback on board. We are delighted with the final result and thank our partners Teesside University for helping to facilitate this project.”
