Joe's design
Edited reference imagery Joe used in his design
For Joe’s design he sourced imagery from the 1990 Beijing Asian Games Table Tennis Women’s Team Final Korea vs China. He was immediately drawn to the graphic elements from the games, the kits, badges, logos, advertising hoarding, score card. He set out to to find two significant moments from these games to use for the bat, and wanted to elevate these moments in the celebration of the game.
