01 / The brief

The city.
The team.

Each summer, the JCC Maccabi Games bring Jewish teen athletes from around the world together for a week of Olympic-style competition, community service and cultural experiences. Each delegation represents its home community.

For Toronto, the challenge was to make one delegation recognizable wherever its athletes played.

I combined the Canadian maple leaf and the Magen David in one athletic emblem, then carried that idea into the wordmark, apparel and venue graphics.

02 / Identity

The idea. In one symbol.

The maple leaf and Magen David meet in a mark built to represent Toronto at every scale.

Designed to travel.

The icon could stand alone on a pin or jersey. The wordmark could lead a banner or venue graphic. The underlying idea stayed recognizable at every scale.

03 / Team voice

Toronto,
front and centre.

Refined in 2014, the wordmark places the emblem inside Toronto’s name. It gave the delegation a bold signature for banners, apparel and event graphics.

04 / In the Games

From the team
to the venue.

The identity travelled with the athletes, from team uniforms and the walk-in banner to a court floor decal.

05 / Across the team

Made for
the Games.

From uniforms to merchandise, the identity was made to be worn, carried and seen.

06 / The kit

Built for
the field.

The 2025 soccer kit carries the Toronto identity across the jersey, shorts and socks. Two colourways, one unmistakable team.

Built to
be used.

I adapted the identity for athletes, staff and supporters, prepared production files, and worked with vendors on print and on-site applications. The emblem remained consistent as the layouts changed for each sport and format.
