The FlyQuest logo features stylized wings forming a “V” shape in forest green (#14552b) and gold (#d3a22a).
FlyQuest’s emblem centers on dynamic wing shapes that sweep upward to create a chevron or “V” formation. The forest green (#14552b) serves as the primary color, grounding the design with natural earthiness, while gold accents (#d3a22a) add warmth and suggest achievement. The wing motif clearly references the organization’s name and conveys motion, elevation, and aspiration. Angular construction gives the wings aggressive forward momentum rather than soft organic curves, aligning with competitive gaming aesthetics.
The color combination distinguishes FlyQuest within North American esports, where most organizations favor blues, reds, or blacks. The green and gold palette also connects to the organization’s environmental initiatives and tree-planting partnerships, creating symbolic alignment between visual identity and social mission.

Design and History
FlyQuest adopted its wing-based logo when the organization launched in January 2017 following acquisition of Cloud9 Challenger’s roster. LCS rules prohibited Cloud9 from fielding two teams simultaneously, creating an opportunity for Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wesley Edens to enter esports. The new branding needed to establish immediate recognition while differentiating from Cloud9’s blue-and-white identity.
The wing design emerged as both literal interpretation of “Fly” and metaphor for competitive elevation. FlyQuest distinguished itself through environmental partnerships, planting trees for tournament wins and integrating sustainability messaging into brand campaigns. The green coloring visually reinforced this positioning, making FlyQuest one of few esports organizations with explicit environmental brand attributes.
Over subsequent years, FlyQuest refined the wing icon’s proportions and expanded into additional games while maintaining consistent green-and-gold coloring. The logo proved adaptable across merchandise, social media, and broadcast graphics, with the distinctive color palette ensuring instant recognition even when viewed as small avatar images during League of Legends Championship Series streams.
Typography
FlyQuest’s wordmark uses bold, geometric sans-serif letterforms with slightly condensed proportions. The letters maintain consistent stroke weights and sharp terminals that echo the angular wing construction. Custom modifications to certain characters, particularly the “Q,” create distinctive features that prevent confusion with generic typefaces. The typography balances readability with personality, ensuring the full “FlyQuest” name remains legible when reproduced at small sizes on team jerseys or tournament brackets.
