Basketball Magic
Brand Development & Launch
Basketball Magic Australia was expanding its operations to offer premium basketball tour experiences, moving beyond its existing NBA license agreement. Unlike a complete rebrand, the challenge here was to take an established logo and colour palette and evolve them into a sophisticated global brand ecosystem.
We needed to build upon these existing foundations to create a premium visual language and digital sales infrastructure that could convert growing opportunities in basketball tourism into a systematic booking engine. The brand had to convey high-level professionalism to attract schools and clubs across the Asia-Pacific region while maintaining the visual equity already recognised by their community.
I developed a comprehensive brand expansion framework centred on the tagline, "Australia's Basketball Experience Experts." By honoring the existing logo and primary palette, I introduced a refined secondary visual system. Utilising the "Barlow" font family for technical precision and adding "Rock Salt" for high-energy human callouts. This gave the brand the mix of expertise and sports edge it previously lacked. This evolved identity was applied to a modular suite of sales materials, including dynamic Canva templates and automated HubSpot-integrated EDM systems. We transformed proven expertise into a credible storytelling machine by leveraging existing content across a custom HubSpot-driven website, providing a seamless and professional booking experience that felt like a natural, yet elevated, extension of the original brand.
The brand evolution provided Basketball Magic Australia with a professional, credible market presence while respecting its origins.
