Old-school Colts design

Indysundayspecial

Lovely special section cover in Sunday's Indianapolis Star, previewing Super Bowl XLIV. Get a close look here. Illustration by Arnel Reynon and design by Phil Mahoney.

Writes Scott Goldman:

The illustration turned out better than I ever imagined it could. We wanted something that would feel like the Super Bowl program cover - and I think it's even better than that.

Also, online the Star created a series of QB graphics.

Many more Super Bowl designs are on the way, come back to SD soon.
