Case Study - Brand Mark / Logo

Big Wave Alliance - Infinite Connection

Big Wave Alliance, founded by Gary Linden, needed a mark for a new alliance uniting the world’s big-wave surfing community. Freddy Olander had long been drawn to the inverted triangle as a symbol of water - so the mark combines three interlocking triangles into one continuous, infinite flow, echoing the ocean itself.

The challenge

A new alliance needed a mark strong enough to represent riders across every major big-wave region in the world.

The idea

Three interlocking, inverted triangles reading as a single unbroken current - strength and unity rendered as a single continuous line.

Eva’s contribution

Eva designed the logo directly with founders Gary Linden and Freddy Olander.

Results & recognition

The identity has travelled with the Alliance into features in Surfer Magazine and Stab.
