The tilted angle of the words "Skydive Orange" matches the directional heading (8/26) of their airport runway. The letters "V" in skydive and "A" in orange, line up vertically to stand for Virginia (VA). 

Skydive Orange had these pull-up chords made not long before they approached me to design their staff shirts. I really liked the design of the chords and wanted to bring the same imagery and tone in to the shirts to help Skydive Orange develop a stronger brand identity. I reached out to the original designer and friend of mine, David Cherry, about obtaining the original design files.
