Alumni SPOTlight: Patchanit Sriviroch A'15

Tampa Bay Sports Commission Superbowl Host Logo designed by Patchanit Sriviroch (A'15). Earlier versions of the logo. Patchanit Sriviroch A'15

Patchanit Sriviroch, known by her BCS Family as "Cherry," was an intern at a PR firm when her logo design was chosen to be the official Superbowl Host logo used by the Tampa Bay Sports Commission! "Being selected to be a part of Schifino Lee's creative team to create and design the Super Bowl LV Host Committee logo was such an honor to me. I got this project on the first day of my internship at Schifino Lee over the Summer 2019 (June-August). I walked into the office, and I didn't expect them to hand a big project like this to an intern. I remember my boss; Matt Kannenberg, Associate Creative Director at Schifino Lee, told me that this project was more likely to be an exercise for creative interns. It was a very challenging project. The process of creating the Super Bowl Host logo involved plenty of research. I spent a lot of time on the three-page creative design brief, a document that specifies everything from the mood the client wants to be conveyed to the types of colors to be used, logos they don’t like the look of as well as examples of ones they do. I came up with a design that evolved and was molded with feedback from the entire creative team at Schifino Lee. I had no expectation that my work would be presented or chosen. When I found out from my boss, I was shocked. After I knocked it out of the park, my boss and the team guided and directed me and let me be a part of the project as it progressed. I stayed and wrapped up the project until the last day of my internship. The Super Bowl LV Host Committee project took two months and a half months to finish; involving emailing back and forth for feedback and revision between the Tampa Bay Sports Commission and the NFL. I have a strong commitment to making the most of everything, so I treated this project and other projects that I responded to during my internship as my real job. The hard work has paid off " Cherry says that her inspiration to get into graphic design was sparked when the new class was offered and taught by Alumni, Mrs. Emily Stoops.
