The Mission
Client: Ubisoft (Balkan Region)
Project: eLeague Balkan – Rainbow Six Siege Tournament
Duration: September – December 2021
Role: Lead Designer (Branding, Visual Assets, Motion Support)
Deliverables: Full visual identity, social media graphics, stream overlays, MVP cards, schedules, and stat visuals
The Challenge:
Ubisoft needed a cohesive visual identity and a full suite of digital assets for their regional Rainbow Six Siege tournament. The event required:
- A strong, tournament-specific visual language aligned with the Rainbow Six branding
- Seamless adaptation of assets across social media, streaming platforms, and player/team communication
- Weekly visual output for evolving content (schedules, MVPs, results)
- Coordination with teams to ensure photo quality standards for visual consistency
Strategy:
To elevate the visual impact:
- I created a modular brand system with elements like textures, patterns, and gold accents to convey prestige and professionalism.
- Designed a companion logo for the event that complemented the Rainbow Six brand.
- Developed and shared branding guidelines including:
- Logo usage and placement
- Color palettes (gold, charcoal, highlight blue)
- Typography treatments
- Worked closely with teams to ensure photographic consistency, requiring high-resolution headshots and lighting specifications.
Design Solution:
Key Visual Systems:
- 📅 Match Schedules: Weekly match-up cards in static and animated formats
- 🏅 MVP & POTW Graphics: Individual highlights using branded templates
- 📺 Stream Overlay Pack:
- Scoreboards
- Casters and Interview frames
- Stream Start/End and Break Screens
- Dynamic Stat Cards (map bans, win rates, etc.)
- 🎁 Giveaways: Custom visual for scholarship & GoPro collaboration
- 📊 Playoff Brackets & Team Stats: Easily digestible bracket visuals and pre-match stats
🎨 The system allowed for rapid weekly output while maintaining visual coherence, a critical factor in fast-paced esports events.

🔹 The Logo Process
Worked around the existing Rainbow Six logo to create a companion logo for the event.
The logo was designed to be used in various formats, including a full-color version and a monochrome version for different backgrounds. A guideline accompanying PDF was provided to the sponsors and media creators to ensure proper placement and usage.
🔹 Full Schedule Graphics
Full Schedule initial wireframing and final result.
🔹 MVP / Player of the Week Cards
These cards were designed to be part of the sponsors' placement and visibility. Each of the 3 big sponsors had their own player card that was dedicated to them.
The MVP appeared after every match, while the player of the week was highlighed weekly.
Finally, after careful consideration, the player of the league was chosen and presented with a special card.
🔹 Playoff Brackets
Playoff brackets were designed to be easily digestible and visually appealing. The first two images show carousel photos for social media where you could scroll to see the whole bracket in two image posts.
During the playoff stage, posts were created in real time to reflect the results.
🔹 Giveaways & Announcements
This tournament had one great giveaway by our sponsor "Mediterranean College" where the winner would get a scholarship and a GoPro Camera for their studies.
Other announcement post were made to highlight important dates, such as Qualifiers, breaks and final Rosters of the participating teams.
🔹 Stream Overlays
The Streams were the most important part of the tournament, as they were broadcasted live on Twitch and Youtube.
The overlays were designed to be used by the casters and the production team, and they included all the necessary information for the viewers.
There were screens for Starting Soon, breaks, team stats about the game, in game overlays to highlight who was playing at any given time as well as the stage of the tournament.
