Motocross Logos & Graphics

Thursday Night Motocross is the longest running nighttime motocross racing series in the United States. Every week riders and families pack into Portland International Raceway to race under the lights. It is loud, high adrenaline, chaotic, and absolutely electric.

Collection of vintage black-and-white motocross event graphics for Thursday Night Motocross, featuring custom badge designs like 2 Stroke Forever, High Five 65, Ladies Night, and 55th Anniversary.

A collection Motocross tshirt designs. Each design captures a different race event, from 2 Strokes to ladies’ nights and classic badge graphics, celebrating motocross culture and history.

Had the opportunity to create custom apparel graphics and event logos that matched the identity of each race.

The graphics couldn’t be generic, “slap a bike silhouette on a shirt” design.

They needed motorcross apparel graphics that those specific riders would actually want to wear.

55th Anniversary badge design for Thursday Night Motocross at Portland International Raceway, featuring bold vintage typography, checkered flags, and a distressed blue-and-white race graphic.

Vintage-inspired anniversary badge celebrating 55 years of motocross racing.

Each motocross event has its own identity and name, so the graphics needed to reflect:

  • The theme of the event

  • The demographic of that specific race

  • The motocross culture that surrounds it

Instead of one generic brand direction, each shirt and event design needed to feel like a collectible.

Thursday Night Motocross High Five 65 event graphic featuring a cartoon glove character with bold red and green vintage typography and checkered race details.

Mascot style graphic for the “High Five 65” race.

The steps for each race design:

  1. Research the theme

  2. Explore visuals that resonate with that demographic

  3. Build a unique badge, illustration, or typographic lockup

Colorways were built specifically for the shirt or merch it would be printed on. Every design needed to meet one requirement… Would someone actually wear this outside the track?

Some designs are gritty and aggressive.
Some are retro and fun.
Some are vintage and race inspired.

Every piece is intentionally different.

What makes this project unique:

  • Every event has a custom design

  • No templates

  • No repeated graphics across events

  • Each piece is built for riders and spectators to feel like they are part of the series
