How did you get started in your career? 

My career started in my third year of OCAD U. Thanks to the Gail Yacula scholarship with the reward being an internship at Leo Burnett. Long story short, there was a portfolio review (This was back in the day when portfolios were big black books, not iPads or websites) and we all had to leave our portfolios in a room, and a representative from Leo Burnett would come and review them. I did my homework about Leo Burnett however, and I knew the founder had a thing for red apples, and each office at the entrance has a bowl of apples. So I simply put a red apple on my black portfolio, which easily stood out amongst a sea of other black portfolios. And within the hour, I had my first job.

A new take on the Vegas Golden Knights logo

Vegas Golden Knights logo
Vegas Golden Knights secondary logo

OCAD University advertising student Matt Doyle has a new take on the Vegas Golden Knights logo. 

"After watching the unveiling for the NHL's newest expansion, Vegas Golden Knights, I and many others were quite disappointed with the outcome of the logo. Dull colours and concept left the feeling of the logo very unappealing. For a team in Vegas, the colour and concept of the design should speak for itself with brightness and a simplistic complexity in the layout," says Matt. "I chose to not only do a primary crest, featured with the full knight figure, but also a secondary crest, featured with the circular layout that can be used for not only the jersey crest but also as a shoulder patch." 

"By brightening up the colours and adding some much needed complexity and 'loudness' to the design, I feel I have made a fairly decent attempt at a suggestion for a rebrand of the team," says Matt.
