Alfreton town football club rebrand
Alfreton Town Football Club
Alfreton Town Football Club is an ambitious club, with an interesting history. Based in England, the town of Alfreton is named after King Alfred the Great. In designing a new brand for the football club we built a brand that would reference King Alfred and set the football club up for future success.

Getting King Alfred's face right
Designing a logo fit for a king
In building out King Alfred’s look, it was important to ensure that his facial features had the right balance between being detailed, yet minimal. I spent a lot of time designing, tweaking and analyzing the structure of King Alfred’s face, so that it had expression and character, but did not have too many details (as this detail would be lost when the logo is reproduced at a smaller size).
Making the design 'ready for battle'.
Getting King Alfred's face right
When forming King Alfred’s face, I prioritized facial features what were unique to King Alfred, and facial features that were seen on the original 1959 logo design – features such as the long hair, the pointed beard, and the mustache – Staying true to the original design and historic images of King Alfred was important for the design.

Making the design 'ready for battle'.
I worked hard to ensure that King Alfred’s expression was determined, focused and ‘ready for battle’. I didn’t want this logo to have a happy look or feel too ‘cartoony’, The design had to feel steely, strong and determined. I built out the design to have straight lines and sharp edges – This added strength and power to the look of the logo.
Launching the new logo
