The Athletics Illustrated logo
The logo was designed in 2010 by Christopher Kelsall. The Helvetica font is used for its simplicity, and understated style, while the runner, exudes swagger in terms of running form as “he” confidently hurdles by toeing off the “i” with the left leg while the right foot is about to land on the “h” that acts as the steeple. The 3000m steeplechase is the bridge event between middle-distance and long-distance running. The bulk of the content that Athletics Illustrated publishes is in these events. The steeple embraces a touch of the olde English clubs as in cross-country with the water pit and steeples. At 3000m in length, it provides the perfect mix of aerobic and anaerobic demands on the running, making for a truly entertaining race – as the website aims to be.
The colour blue (HEX #ffffff, RGB(255,255,255), CMYK(0,0,0,0) was chosen as it represents depth, stability, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, and truth. Blue represents the sky and the ocean.
Compact in a horizontal rectangular shape, the logo is perfectly designed for usage in various media and collateral.
