Started by United States Air Force and local disc golf community member Ryan Best, the annual Iron Man involves playing a 3 round charity tournament in a single day and raising money for a local veteran’s charity. The charity is the HOPE Project, which works on equine therapy for veterans who struggle with PTSD or other problems from their service.
I designed the logo to capture the meaning of the event. The anvil in the center represents the “iron” in Iron Man. Anvils are incredibly tough like our military members working through things now that they are back home. An anvil is a piece of iron that exists to mold hot metals. The 3 round tournament in the middle of the summer in Florida is very hot and molds players. So this piece of metal represents precisely how much the event will test your mettle.
The three stars at the top represent the three rounds played, noted below in the text. The date is written in the day-month format to match how our military members would write it. The three stars at the bottom represent the three layouts of Majette. Our course has three skill-level configurations, and we put every player on all three designs for our annual Iron Man.
The tournament jersey. Stripes and a star-field yoke, because the event is Air Force born and the anvil logo needed a flag to sit on.
