BRAND INTELLIGENCE

1. PRIMARY COLOR
Soft pastel ASICS blue (#7FADEB style) used as the main lettering fill while remaining instantly recognizable.

2. ACCENT COLOR
Warm saturated coral-orange inspired by performance running details for speed lines and graphic accents.

3. DARK COLOR
Deep navy (#1D2C5B style) used for all outlines, extrusions, typography strokes, sparkle, and structural elements.

4. LETTERING
Large bold lowercase:
asics

Use a wide rounded geometric font.
Flat pastel blue fill.
Heavy dark navy outline.
Dark navy extrusion offset diagonally down-right approximately 10% of the letter height.
No gradients.

5. KATAKANA
Small secondary typography:
アシックス

Neatly tucked into the composition in dark navy.

6. FLAG
Small flat Japanese flag naturally integrated into the badge.

7. ICONIC GEOMETRY
Design the badge using shapes inspired by:
• sweeping ASICS stripe curves
• flowing running-track arcs
• dynamic motion ribbons
• athletic lane geometry
• intersecting speed curves

Avoid generic circles or plain ovals unless transformed into running-inspired forms.

8. ICONIC SYMBOLS
Include 1–2 tiny flat illustrations:
• running shoe
• stopwatch or finish-line ribbon

Do NOT use the ASICS logo as a decorative object.

9. LAYOUT
Invent an original badge silhouette based on athletic movement.
The lettering should be the anchor while curved speed-track geometry wraps around it.
One curved element must pass behind the letters and emerge in front to create layered depth.
Every surrounding shape should reinforce speed, balance, and Japanese sports heritage.

CANVAS
1:1 square.
Flat warm off-white background.
No texture.
No paper grain.
No gradient.

STRUCTURE
Must include:
• Central "asics" lettering
• Athletic geometric forms interacting with typography
• One element weaving behind and in front of the letters
• Unified sticker/patch silhouette

Y2K DETAILS
• Parallel or radial speed lines in coral-orange
• One sharp 4-point sparkle near the lettering in dark navy
• Small "アシックス"
• Small Japanese flag
• Tiny running shoe and stopwatch illustrations

RULES
Flat vector only.
No gradients.
No shadows.
No blur.
No lighting effects.
Maximum four colors:
• Pastel ASICS blue

The final result should feel like an authentic early-2000s Japanese sportswear badge, collectible sticker, or embroidered patch that instantly communicates ASICS through motion, running culture, and clean Y2K vector aesthetics.
