The Bush Institute Warrior Open Golf Tournament at the AT&T Byron Nelson, presented by AT&T, is held in May each year, immediately following the Salesmanship Club of Dallas’s AT&T Byron Nelson at Trinity Forest Golf Club. It began in 2011 for United States military personnel seriously wounded or injured since September 11, 2001.
Solution
As part of their support of the Bush Institute Warrior Open for 2018, AT&T asked us to work with them to develop a new identity system for this yearly charity golf tournament. Working with core elements of the Bush Institute brand, we maintained the patriotic foundation of the identity while linking the design to the Republic of Texas Lone Star and President George W. Bush’s nickname “W”.
01 Visual Language
The final identity was a hybrid of the American flag, the "W" from the Warrior Open and George W Bush, and a tribute to the Lone Star state.
02 Exploration
Part of our process is an extensive identity exploration. For the Warrior Open, this approach generated a wide range of inspiring options for our client to choose from.
