● DESIGN CHALLENGE
Creating an Accessible and Recognizable Gaming Identity
The RacerX identity needed to balance the energy of the gaming industry with a welcoming, family-oriented personality. The design also needed to remain readable, accessible, and consistent across different applications and sizes.

The identity needed to appeal to a technologically adept and socially engaged audience while remaining approachable for players and families with different levels of gaming experience.
