Side Assignment 1: FC Hobo

This being the CNY holidays and everything, I was feeling a wee bit bored. I started calling up my friends and an ol' college mate of mine commissioned me to design a new crest for his amateur soccer team. Being bored yet surprisingly filled to the brim with creative energy, I accepted his challenge.




The client's demands were that the crest be-


1) Ironic


2) Witty


3) Refer to 1 and 2




Being Chinese New Year and all, I came up with a Chinese looking logo for the predominantly Malay soccer team. To view this irony, do visit their blog at http://www.fchobo.blogspot.com/ where the crest and team photo stand prominantly side by side. It was honestly worth the 4 hours of work in exchange for a chicken sandwich and bragging rights. But in case you're too lazy to click to their blog, here's the image anyway.






I should be building a site for them in the near future, but I guess when your clients are your friends, the creative mind tends to get lazy.


I realized from the feedback that non-football (or as they call it in America, soccer) fans realize that this is a rip off from the England soccer crest. Thus I have decided to upload the England one for comparison.

Test Post

This is a test post, trying to make sense of it is like clapping with one hand. It is trying to crack a durian with a nail clipper. I can't believe I wrote this. Worse still, I can't believe you are still reading this. Seriously, make full use of your time and do something else.
