This is my draft for my illustrator logo. I like the simple look, that’s why the logo is pretty simple and doesn’t have a lot shapes.

I used the general concept of the recycle symbol to represent the 3 different components in a race that are all separate, but make up the race in total.

In each steam of the arrow, I used some layer effects to add the environment of each discipline. I believe it goes without saying, but I list it below. (From the top to the right)

• The blue with waves is for swimming.
• The road is cycling.
• the pavement gravel combination is for running.

The last component of the graphic is the lettering. I used single “T” instead of spelling triathlon, but I did add the disciplines, just to give it more of triathlon exclusive feel.

I go back and forth on whether or not it needs more of something. The one element I am not decided on is the color palette. I like the bright green and orange, because of a lot triathlon gear is bright colors like that. Although they are the only two colors without a filter or anything, so I am trying to decide if that looks weird or not.

Anyways, this to my draft for my logo.
