Onward Arrows re-designed: A key brand mnemonic, embodying our values of the brand and the movement. The linework that forms the arrows and the shield in its entirety reflects continuity. The arrows are always facing forward and indicate there is only one direction to go. The significance of the double arrows represents how we continuously challenge each other, while the forward arrow is consistently pushing the boundary line reminding us to challenge ourselves continually. The circular shape represents our world and stands as a round shield known for its light and functional attributes, reflecting the qualities of protection through offensive speed.
