The Circus (a.k.a. the US Tennis Open) is in the Big Apple this week, and
our very own Michael Crampton created the poster and program art! This
is quite an achievement, akin to winning the actual tournament. The
preliminary draw featured a large pool of talent submitting ideas. He
was up against stiff competition in the finals, including a few of his
own ideas (see below). But, in the end, it was game, set, and match for Michael with his fantastic design celebrating tennis and New York City.

| Michael's initial sketches |
Submissions to the US Open poster competition had four main requirements:
~ Convey that the US Open is an entertainment spectacle;
~ Convey that the event takes place in New York, but is international;
~ Include the US Open flaming ball logo;
~ Be iconic and exciting!
We are delighted to share these initial sketches and alternates with you, as well as the final poster image.

And look out for Michael's image, which can be found on posters, street banners, and T-shirts all around the world!
