Partee Golf Club is an indoor golf club. In 2022 we drew its mark: a golfer stands in as the stem of the letter P, a white half-round makes its bowl, and the club crosses the top at the height of the swing, with PGC in DIN at his feet. A logo guide followed, setting out the horizontal and vertical signatures, the avatars and the one-colour versions. The same file holds two further directions.

  • The badge and PGC lettering
  • Horizontal and vertical signatures
  • Avatars and one-colour versions
  • Logo guide
  • Two further directions and icon studies

01The badge

A golfer
standing in for a stem.

A golfer at the finish of his swing makes the stem of the P; a white half-round makes the bowl, and the club sweeps across its top from behind his shoulder. The figure is cut out of the ground, a field of gold running dark to light behind it, all held in a rounded gold frame. PGC sits at the foot in DIN, a tee tucked into the bar of the G and a thin line of turf beneath.

02The signature

Name and badge,
side by side.

The name is set in DIN Alternate Bold capitals, the gold brightening from PARTEE into GOLF CLUB; a small flag is planted on the G of GOLF, a dot between the two words. Indoor Golf Club sits beneath in Avenir, in graphite. The guide gives two arrangements, horizontal and vertical; the vertical drops the flag and centres three lines.

03Small and single-colour

Down to an avatar,
down to one ink.

On its own the badge goes into a round or a square avatar, its gold frame on charcoal. Where colour is not available it falls back to black or white: the gold and the white become one ink and the figure stays a cut-out, so it still reads in one-colour print or an engraving.

04Three directions

Three directions;
the guide follows the first.

The same file holds two more proposals: V2, a gold ball on a tee that becomes a P with its club, and V3, a club driven through the letters PGC in gold and silver. A second file, five days later, tries four icons on the theme “PAR TEE”: a flag, a green, a hole, and a P and T stacked into one letter.

Scope
The badge and PGC lettering · Horizontal and vertical signatures · Avatars and one-colour versions · Logo guide · Two further directions and icon studies

Rebuilt from the November 2022 “Logo Design Sample Guide” file (Affinity Designer) and a file of icon studies made five days later. The badge, the signatures and the V2 and V3 directions are the file’s own vectors, with the lettering outlined from its typefaces (DIN Alternate, Avenir); the guide pages are re-set here in HTML. The golf-ball photograph comes from that file; its photographer is not recorded. Photographs of people and promotional copy in the file are left out. The archive does not show which direction the club adopted, or how the mark was used.
