Notre Dame

Golden Hinge

The campus arch becomes a hinge: history that opens instead of a coat of arms that closes.

PLACE INPUT St. Joseph lakes · northern-Indiana winters · golden-hour campus light

The local input comes from PointCast’s sourced mascot field card. The design direction is PointCast interpretation, not an institutional claim.

01 / STADIUM

A field that gives something back.

Make the north end a warm winter arcade with chapel-scale arches and a public skating ribbon.

02 / CAMPUS

The signal leaves the merch table.

A golden-hinge wayfinding system links the lakes, library, residence halls, and night bus.

03 / STUDENT GEAR

Repair is part of the identity.

Deep-blue rain cape with a hinged gold throat tab and unbranded wool stadium scarf.

MARK HOUSE 01

One system among five unrelated signals.

The shared house is a presentation device, not a template. Every mark should remain recognizable in one color, in motion, at sixteen pixels, in embroidery, and at stadium scale.
