TIMELINE

INTRODUCTION

Madisen Skinner, known as Madi, is a three-time NCAA National Champion and professional volleyball player. She signed with League One Volleyball’s Austin team and debuted with the U.S. national team in 2024. Madisen’s brand reflects her strength, grace, and unstoppable drive—both on and off the court.

ITERATIONS

Current Logo

The current logo, while clean, lacks a personal connection and doesn't fully reflect Madi's personality and style. It comes across as somewhat rigid and misses the mark on creativity.
