The decision to go with 4x3 was the right one. Amy and Stephen came up with some great logo options and from there they have laid the foundation for a brand that is just what I am looking for..."

Over the years we have designed the logo and branding for URugby, which is implemented on promotional items for the 2017 Ariel Re Bermuda 7s, 2016 Bowl Series and ACRC Bowl Series. We've had the pleasure of continually working with URugby exclusively on sports marketing over the years for these events.

2017 ARIEL RE BERMUDA 7S

The 2017 Ariel Re Bermuda Sevens hosted the very best in high school and college rugby at the National Sports Center, Bermuda’s premier sporting event venue. The tournament featured four mini teams (ages 9-12), two high school girls teams, five high school boys teams and 12 collegiate men's sides. 4x3 designed a souvenir rugby ball and referee jerseys to be used throughout the event.

The tournament featured 12 elite college rugby teams, and six high school teams competing to be Bowl Series Champions. 4x3 designed branding that was then translated onto wearables, VIP and player passes, and promotional banners.

ACRC BOWL SERIES

The ACRC15s rugby bowl series is an annual sporting event held each fall in Charlotte, NC.

USA ISLANDERS

The USA Islanders is a team of USA Eagles and potential Eagle national caliber rugby players from US-based Pacific islands; including Hawaii, Tonga, Fiji, and American Samoa. 4x3 was hired to handle web design and development of the USA Islanders website for to promote invitational matches and upcoming events for the newly formed USA Islanders rugby team. 4x3 also worked directly with the team administrators and coaching staff to create a logo and brand. The new logo and brand was then applied across a variety of mediums, including web, print (business cards, letterheads) and gear (jerseys, T-shirts, rugby balls, Bermuda shorts).

4x3's branding efforts contributed to successful marketing efforts surrounding the tournaments, as well as a positive experience enjoyed by both teams and spectators.

Great design is not just type and layout, often a project requires photography or illustration as a key component and the best solution is not always the most obvious.

MRI Network hired 4x3 to layout and design an advertorial scheduled to appear in USA Today's June 2017 insert magazine highlighting the company's top recruiting offices. Each award-winning office listed featured exceptional recruiters in an effort to provide recognition and inspire other offices.

To make matters more challenging, the recruiters for the article were scattered acrosss the country. In order to overcome the challenge of inconsistency in photographs and logistics of hiring one photographer, we reached out to famed illustrator Randy Glass to create graphite portraits for each individual. Client buy-in was key, and once they were able to see the layout as we envisioned it, they were sold. By commissioning Randy Glass to create sketched headshots for MRI, 4x3 was able to bring a unique spin to an article about company recruiting.

By presenting a different perspective on corporate branding, we were able to create a unique - but professional - look and feel to the advertorial. The graphite illustrations also worked well with the news print format, providing quality and character to an otherwise formal news spread.

"4x3 did an excellent job of helping us design an ad for an employment insert that promoted the expertise of the top performers within our franchise organization. Their out-of-the-box ideas, such as commissioning an illustrator to draw headshots really made our ad shine, while also remaining within the publication's editorial standards."

Each featured recruiter was gifted with a signed copy of the original illustration by the corporate offices to congratulate offices for a successful year.
