Ending Neuro-degeneration
This project was developed as a means to end a disorder in which Muhammad Ali was diagnosed with after his career. The purpose was to raise funds with charity events located at the gym that he was coached & trained within and the intent was to collect public interest for the scientific benefit of growing new nerve cells within the human body for restorative function. This type of science could even extend into spinal chord injuries and any other disorder connotative with damaged nerve cells.

The square based emblem connotes the boxing ring that Muhammad fought within, the star represents his capability as a boxer, and the rectangles surrounding the square represent the press media and front line seats that were occupied during the match.
IMAGE 2: BUTTERFLY MIC;
The second emblem is composed of a vintage microphone that has the centre focus of the emblem. It was resourced from a photo of Muhammad's Olympic competitions from Greece in which he was awarded gold.
The wings surrounding the microphone represent his famous "Float Like a Butterfly & Sting Like a Bee" quote. and the square with circle corner points represent the exterior of the rings in which his battles took place.

The third icon is focused on the Crescent and star which were symbols of his faith for being free during a US war draft. The shutter lens that surrounds it represents the outward view of his global appearance through media, and the laurel wreath is a representation of the peace he found in his intent to remain an American competitor.
MUHAMMAD ALI PRESENTS: FIGHT NIGHT
The mock poster is an actual promotion of the event and they would have been placed in the surrounding area of New York upon telephone poles and outside the venue in the same fashion that was used during Muhammad's upcoming fights. The included frame set shown here is considered as a an auction item.
CUSTOM GLOVES: FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY;
These gloves were intended as auction items as well, and all disclosures in sale were placed forward to the benefit of the cause. They were also intended to be an accolade for other professionals of the sport who endure the same prognosis.
