“Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, David Beckham,” -are just a few of soccer’s (futbol’s) easily recognizable names. But if one asked who “Javier Hernandez” was, would you know this name to be one of Mexico’s National Football Team’s (Selección de Fútbol de Mexico) premier players? If, instead of saying Javier Hernandez, one said “Chicharito,” would you know, then, whom one was referring to?
Nicknames (or ‘apodos’) are just as prevalent (if not more-so) than the Mexican Futbol Players’ actual birth-names themselves. Another one of Team Mexico’s dominant strikers, “Oribe Peralta,” is rumored to have been given permission to omit his actual last name from his jersey, and use his more-recognizable nickname, “Hermoso (aka Beautiful).”
We at Republic Design Company have designed this easy-to-read reference guide of Mexico’s National Soccer Team Players nicknames/apodos; in-honor of thee upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup. Look and sound like a pro when cheering on “El Tri-Color aka El Tri,” this World Cup (and beyond). Also included in this handy-dandy nicknames/apodos quick reference guide, are the futbol teams each player belongs to in the FIFA World Cup off-season (during the regular season).
So what’s your favorite Mexican Futbol Player Nickname/Apodo?
The principals of the Q Club Oxnard commissioned REPUBLIC Design Company for the design, implementation and production of not just another business card; but a carefully-crafted/multi-faceted marketing piece…

First, a little background…
The Q Club Oxnard is a full-service billiards, bar-and-grill, sports lounge, that has been a staple in Oxnard and the Ventura County area for many, many years. To best exemplify Q Club Oxnard and capture it’s “essence,” one can-NO! -One must draw the comparison between it, and the hit 80’s T.V. sit-com, “CHEERS” (featuring Ted Danza, Kristie Alley, Shelley Long, Kelsey Grammer [to name a few] and various other beloved actors/characters). Q Club Oxnard, just like “CHEERS” magically capture an essence and camaraderie that was (then) and is (now) best summed-up by the now-infamous quote:
“where everybody knows your name…”
Simply-put, The Q Club Oxnard is, “home.” A friendly place where ALL are welcome to catch their favorite game on TV, have a drink, play a little bit of pool/billiards. Heck, Q Club Oxnard even comes fully equipped with their very own “Norm (played by then actor George Wendt)!” You have to visit and experience it for yourself…

Instead of creating individual/personalized business cards for each employee of the Q club Oxnard; we designed the marketing collateral piece in such a way that not only can existing and perspective employees of the Q Club Oxnard could write their names onto, but key friends-and-family of the Q Club Oxnard (or whomever management would like to grant access to) can “write their name” directly to the left of “says…” with a pen or Sharpie…
“The Q is for YOU!”
