About

In 2020 it is the 9th year of RunTour.
Brief
Create a visual style for RunTour, the largest running series in the Czech Republic with a focus on families. The style should attract as many novice runners as possible. And increase its memorability and uniqueness through a kind of "symbol". Communicate the "welcoming", positive, friendly, and open arms mood of the series.
The Idea and inspiration for the concept came from the scene “HAVE A NICE DAY” in the "Forrest Gump" movie when Forest helps develop the Smiley Face Logo. Eight smiles were created according to the locations. Each with a unique mood and color. The color shapes are different, splashes are overlapping to create a dynamic mood.
The original RunTour logo based on the DIN font was adjusted. The main font was set to DIN Next. All together creates a nice contrast between emotional illustrations and simplified the technical design of the letters.
