logo design

The Weihnachtsmannsackhüpfstaffelmarathon is an annual event held on the first weekend of december since 1988 and is organized by the students club Bärenzwinger in Dresden, Germany. It is a relay sack race where teams of 10 jumpers dressed like Santa Claus jump 1 km through the city centre of Dresden aiming not to damage or lose the baton. The baton is every year a special designed object, mostly very fragile. And it has to do with drinking beer, a lot .

For 9 years I organized the event in parts and created logos for the team t-shirts.

Please note:

"Bärenzwinger" is a registered wordmark of Studentenclub Bärenzwinger e.V. in Germany.
