The Bali Legends
I’ve been involved in Rugby all my life, in one way or another and whilst living in KSA I played at the Dubai 7s – which was where I first met the Bali Legends.
A year later, having moved to the UAE (and then on to Bali), we got to talking and I agreed to knock up a website for the Legends and help promote the amazing work the club did, raising awareness for the charity ‘Dans Fund for Burns’. From the website:
12th of October 2002, Kuta, Bali, the whole world was rocked by the devastation caused by two terrorist bombs. The rugby world was also hit hard as some of the people caught in the blasts were players and supporters attending the Bali 10s competition. In total 202 People lost their lives.
One of the survivors, Polly (Miller) Brooks was at the Sari Club with her husband of 5 weeks, Dan and a party of 8 friends, who had gathered in Bali for the 10s. She was the only one of the group to escape, pulling herself out of the wreckage and running, burning and screaming into a nearby street. She was helped by an Aussie Rules football player, Noel Ferguson, who helped extinguish the flames. She was eventually flown to the Royal Brisbane Hospital, suffering from 43% burns to her body.
During her 10 week stay in Brisbane, Polly decided she wanted to create some good out of what had happened, “I was searching for something positive to think about”. She decided to raise funds for burns victims and subsequently set up a charity in her husband’s name, “Dan’s Fund for Burns”.

Having re-drawn the logo to get it set up as a vector file and having worked with the team on one or two of the kit designs, we had a pretty good idea on style. Content was minimal and we just wanted the site to look good, tell the story and give links to all the Sponsors and of course Dans Fund for Burns.
“Absolutely blown away with how awesome our website is. Thanks Max for going above and beyond!”
