Design Approach

The brand identity centers around a scalable, adaptable, and dynamic system that works across multiple applications, from event signage to digital promotions and athlete gear. The logo embodies the spirit of the Treasure Valley, incorporating bold yet welcoming typography and a versatile color palette that conveys both energy and inclusivity.

A distinctive pattern was developed to add depth and movement to the brand, reinforcing the themes of inspiration, challenge, and perseverance that define the event. The design ensures the brand is far-reaching yet deeply rooted in the local community, reflecting the personal significance of the triathlon for many participants.

Outcome
