The Challenge The biggest challenge was maintaining brand consistency while adding something new and exciting. How do you evolve an existing logo without losing recognition? How do you create a system that feels energetic and athletic but still premium? Also, typical running visuals (like sneakers and tracks) often feel generic, so the task was to find a fresh, ownable visual hook that would still feel personal to Humantra.
The Solution I started by reimagining the logo, transforming Humantra’s signature vertical lines into shoelaces, a subtle but meaningful symbol of running. The laces were hand-drawn to keep the look organic, playful, and full of motion, while preserving the structure of the original logo for brand continuity. For the color palette, I introduced vibrant neons (blue, pink, and green) alongside neutral tones to reflect excellence, health, and community. These colors make the identity stand out at events and create an inclusive but exclusive feel, inviting yet premium. I also designed a full set of event-focused mockups, including meeting point flags, hydration tents, apparel, and accessories, to make the brand interactive and visible in real-world settings. This ensures the Run Club feels cohesive, both in digital spaces and on the streets.
