so some friends in south wales are putting together a mens derby team and i asked if i could have a tilt at a logo for them, this is what i came up with.

| the logo |
the silures were the south wales tribe that held out longest against the romans. Screaming, bloody, woad covered, mentalists charging down tightly regimented superior numbers. they were the ultimate underdogs. I wanted to create an identity that had this feeling. I wanted to create something distinctly welsh but also different from the usual formulaic roller derby logos of a pin up with some minimal roller derby reference attatched. The silures logo is the goat major's skull over a celtic knotwork made of derby laces. To be honest i could babble on about the rationale and where I want to take this identity into kits and skate out flags and merch but for now here it is.
