The Houston Ice Bears Simulation Sports Organization was made with the heart on the design. Starting off solely as the Ice Bears Football Team, the team was apart of the currently idle ProArts Gridiron League which was dedicated to showcasing designers' work through a conceptual football team. With the league not yet having enough players and owner and operator Valeria Ayala starting teams in simulation sports leagues, the Ice Bears now showcases design through these simulation leagues.
Houston is the home of the biggest and baddest in all of sports past, present, and future. From the AFL dominant Houston Oilers, to the back-to-back champions Houston Rockets with roots of the Phi-Slama-Jama era of the University of Houston Cougars, to the Houston Astros of 2005 bringing the World Series to Texas for the first time, then bringing the city its first ring in 12 years in 2017 following the devastating Hurricane Harvey, to proving the doubters wrong in 2022 by coming out on top of the MLB, American League, and AL West for yet another year and winning another title, to the Rockets now who have moved from 2nd worst to 2nd best in the Western Conference in less than a year. Houston has dominated the sports world, currently dominates the sports world, and will continue to dominate the sports world.
The Polar Bear is one of the most dominant animals of the cold due to its thick fur and skin which allows them to stay hot, and it's powerful and aggressiveness means it does not relent when it gets its hands on its prey. This headstrong mentality is the heart of Houston and the heart of this franchise.
The White Bear symbolizes the 2 sides of the Houston coin. For Houston itself, the future is bright. Every choice made by the organization opens up a whole new story that will be celebrated when it becomes history. For everyone else, no matter what choice they make, it all ends the same way. Houston reigns on top.
The Spirit Red of the Ice Bears' design comes from the University Of Houston. No matter who you are, what you do, or how you do it, we all start somewhere. The University Of Houston is where the story of many greats start, including the core of the Back-to-Back team of the Houston Rockets. We named the color after the UH Spirit of Houston as we see not just that institute but the youth of this city as the beating core that keeps the city on top
No matter if you were born within Beltway 8 or came to the city in search of greener pastures, the people of Houston make the city the great one it is today. When you see the blue flag with it's white star and seal, it represents a city of love, innovation, prosperity, success, and pure determination to experience the finer things in life no matter the cost.
The White Bear is the visual interpretation of our two sided coin mentality. When viewed upright you can see what the City of Houston sees, the flow of infinite possibilities where there is no limits of what can be achieved. As for the other side of this coin you see what the world sees, the inevitable. The alignment of every path to the singular fate of failure at the hands of Houston, Texas.
