Unsportsmanlike Conduct

Brand Identity, Game Development, Narrative Writing

The primary logo for the fictional 'Phantoms' team. It features a floating, ghostly reaper in blue-green robes. It is holding a hockey stick wrapped with purple tape that matches the color of its eyes in lieu of a typical scythe. A neon green smoke trail is wrapped diagonally around the reaper's figure. The primary logo for the fictional 'Bloodhounds' team. It features a stylized head of a bloodhound dog, holding a puck in its mouth. The dog is primarily in white, with dark magenta and deep pinks tones. The puck is a pink color, and positioned in a way where it could also be interpreted as part of the dog's tongue sticking out.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct is a passion project that merges my love of storytelling and video games with the inherent homoeroticism of ice hockey.

In the game, you play as a hockey player in the fictional Transcendental Hockey League (THL) living out your childhood dreams. This includes winning a championship in your previous season with the Phantoms, the team that drafted you. However, things quickly change when you're traded mid-season to your division rivals, the Bloodhounds. Make new friends, form new rivalries, and develop relationships with your teammates—both new and old—as you aim for another playoff run and another championship title.
