Since 1987, FC Portland Academy has consistently fielded the most competitive premier level youth soccer teams in Oregon. With their 25th anniversary quickly approaching, the club sought to honor the legacy of their founder, Clive Charles, by reintroducing his spirit into both the visual brand and the way the club communicated to its community. The new logo and brand honors the club’s past while providing a foundation for moving forward with clear intention.
