The 2010 Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) centered around a playful “Ninjas vs. Pirates” theme — the perfect foundation for a bold, energetic visual system.
We designed the event identity using custom ASCII-style graphics that became the backbone of the campaign. These visuals scaled seamlessly across all print and digital assets, including badges, stickers, t-shirts, binders, event brochures, signage, and promotional materials.
To support the annual competition, we also developed a custom WordPress theme that allowed the site to be “re-skinned” each year based on that year’s scenario. The theme made it easy for organizers to update content, change branding, and maintain excitement for returning participants.
This competition brings undergraduate and graduate students together to defend real networks against professional penetration testers. Our design work amplified the sense of immersion and helped create a cohesive, high-energy experience from pre-event promotions to on-site collateral.
