Four Score and Seven Pongs Ago started as an annual* video game competition that I have with my friend Brian. We play a mix of retro and modern score based games. Then it was a website that hosts a podcast that I started with Shawn Sines.

These days it’s now a community that I’ve help foster and grow through a series of fundraising marathons for charities such as Feeding America.

The Early Days

The first few logos were based around the games we were playing. Along with a trophy to emphasize the competition aspect.

The Next Era

The Current Era

The goal with the newest logo was to incorporate modern design elements, bright colors, flat design, and less clutter. This meant changing the current color scheme and adding some more than red. The red tone was also changed to incorporate a softer color. Also, gradients are in.

I wanted to keep some fun design elements in, so the DPAD represents 4 sides, and then there is the unconventional 7 button layout.
