Handsome Danny’s

As a show of appreciation for their tremendous effort, commitment, and sacrifice, Yale Athletics brings together over 900 student-athletes and coaches at an awards gala known as the Handsome Danny’s to celebrate their extraordinary accomplishments and dedication throughout the year.

Combining a striking silhouette of the event's namesake with an elegant typeface, I aimed to create an identity that represented the celebratory and impactful nature of the evening. Through a combination of venue displays, social media graphics, and on-site photography, we were able to provide comprehensive coverage that translated directly to the digital world, further sharing the incredible academic and athletic achievements of these student-athletes.
