Greater Cleveland Sports Awards

Legacy Behind the Look

Iconic mural featured throughout this year's Cleveland Sports Awards

The visual identity of the 27th Greater Cleveland Sports Awards is inspired by an original mural created by George Vlosich III of GV Art + Design. Commissioned by Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, the piece brings together some of the most iconic figures and moments in Cleveland sports history, creating a powerful tribute to the athletes, teams, and achievements that have defined our region.

As the Cleveland Sports Awards honors today's leaders and champions, the mural serves as a reminder that every generation contributes to Cleveland's ongoing sports story. Featured throughout this year's campaign, the artwork connects the legacy of the past with the achievements being celebrated today.
