Ava Buric - Graphic Designer and Illustrator

The Mascot Games presented by Wawa is an annual event held in Orlando to benefit New Hope For Kids, a local grieving and wish-granting organization, where 20+ sports mascots gather at the Amway Center for 2 days of competitions.

I'm in charge of the creation of their yearly marketing package for a variety of print and web-based formats.

Platforms have included iHeartRadio websites, the Orlando Sentinel, I-4 billboards, and video boards displayed within the Amway Center itself.

My campaigns for 2019, 2018, and 2017 are all featured on this page. Scroll all the way down to view them all!

MASCOT HEADS

My head illustrations of each NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, and NCAA mascot have become an essential part of the Mascot Games' brand and my own since I started them in 2016. These icons are used on signage during the event's VIP meet and greet, the Amway Center's video screens, and on social media platforms. I've been honored to have other teams and events work with me for similar mascot artwork!

2018 CAMPAIGN

The Mascot Games' 25th Anniversary in 2018 was a huge milestone for the event and we wanted to demonstrate this through new graphics. I was given the new task of updating their current logo to a more elegant but fun icon and devised the tagline "Celebrating our 25th Anni-FUR-Sary" to be used on advertisements.
