Code of Sport Patterns

Code of Sport graphical pattern concept and logotype for the adidas creative direction team.

The patterns are made up by just a few graphical elements that are inspired by the lines of a playing field.

These shapes are used to build all of the following Code of Sport patterns.

The Code of Sport can look like an ​“alien” language, that is rather easy…

…or a very complex system of fictitious characters.

Patterns can be created that are more closely related to the sports theme. In this case a playing field and a tennis ball.

The graphical Code of Sport elements can make up a net on a basketball hoop.

Adding a second color can make the patterns feel more three-dimensional. Here they appeal woven which relates do adidas’ apparel products.

Adding a third color can exaggerate that three-dimensional feel.

“Die Marke mit den drei Streifen.”
