Case study
CEASE Collectibles
A philanthropic trading card brand bridging sports, gaming, and culture.
About this project
CEASE collectibles was founded by Dylan Cease, an MLB pitcher, to blend his love of sports and gaming with philanthropy. The challenge: build a brand that could resonate with nostalgic sports fans, Pokémon collectors, and younger nerd culture enthusiasts, all while showcasing nonprofit partnerships. Alma created a visual identity that evoked vintage sports aesthetics: powder blue and orange palettes, retro collegiate typography, all paired with a sarcastic, playful voice and tone that brings approachability.

In Alma’s words
What changed
Their brand captures the dual spirit of fun and purpose. It feels credible enough for serious collectors, yet engaging for casual fans, with a visual language that sparks nostalgia while staying modern. Alma helped CEASE collectibles stand apart in an overstimulated market by proving that collecting can build community and do good at the same time.
