Venice Bucketz — A Streetball Icon for the Legacy Series

Team logo and emblem design for Venice Bucketz, the streetball team from the Veniceball (VBL) and The Hoop Bus network competing at the Legacy Series in Germany — applied on adidas game jerseys, apparel and merchandise.

  • Project Challenge:

    Venice Bucketz needed an identity that lives in two worlds at once: the raw, playful energy of streetball at Venice Beach — sunshine, ocean, asphalt, showtime — and the professional arena stage of the Legacy Series, with broadcast cameras, adidas game jerseys and merchandise. The logo had to read as a legitimate club crest without losing the playground attitude that makes Veniceball what it is, performing everywhere from an embroidered chest badge to a full-size back print.

  • Project Solution:

    A modern take on the classic basketball club emblem: two open concentric arcs frame a basketball that dissolves into ocean waves — the Pacific and the game merged into one icon. 'VENICE' sits in clean, spaced capitals along the upper arc, while the 'BUCKETZ.' wordmark breaks through the badge in a raw, hand-brushed script — deliberately disrupting the tidy emblem the way streetball disrupts polished league basketball. The color system pairs deep midnight navy with vivid pink and crisp white, echoing sunset skies over Venice Beach — bold in the arena, instantly recognizable on camera, and reduced enough for single-color applications.

Project Development

Team Venice Bucketz brings the spirit of Venice Beach basketball to Europe: born from the iconic Veniceball network (VBL) and The Hoop Bus, brought to the court together with CBAS. We designed the team's logo — an emblem that carries more than 20 years of LA streetball culture onto the professional stage of the Legacy Series in Germany.
