Native Powers - Karol Krizan, Modo Hockey, Elitserien, 2008-2009
The story
Karol had a clear vision of how he wanted his new design. He wanted a design inspired by his native country. A friend of Karol had made a sketch that David loved, and he immediately started to create.
Focus is on the growling bear in the middle, with distinct and sharp lines. The bear was painted entirely in white to get maximum contrast against the red base colour. On each side of the mask the bear catches Karol's number, as well as Modo stars!
Down below the mask is framed by graphically created mountains, as a perfect contrast to the red.
On the chin the name gives even more personal touch in green tints.
Green metallic glow surrounds the bear and the mountain graphics giving a unique glow to the whole.
In the red base colour a graphic pattern can be seen, if yoy look close you see it is the first letter of the name of the design.
The snow stars also was an important detail to honour the home country, and it lights up the design in a perfect way.
The cage was painted in white, which brings out the red in the mask. A good example of how you with the colour of the cage makes it a part of the design.
