Brand Design

 

Our approach to brand design involved implementing a motion-centric and dynamic branding system.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors, iconic imagery, and the inherent energy of MLB, our designs aimed to replicate the excitement of baseball in a digital format.

The fluidity of these elements mirrored the dynamic nature of the game, providing an immersive visual experience for users.

 

Collectible System Design

 

The development of the NFT collectible system was a detailed and thoughtful process.

We collaborated with Candy.com to create collectibles that each told a unique story, reflecting the diversity and storied history of Major League Baseball.

Rarity Levels

 

We meticulously curated various rarity levels for the NFTs, assigning unique characteristics to each tier.

The motion and dynamic branding system vividly brought the game to life, while the carefully crafted collectible system provided fans a unique opportunity to own and cherish a part of baseball history.
