Logo for the first global, community-organized marathon

Sport

We are looking for a logo for the inaugural marathon on March 20. We are called #RunTheWorld and we are a global non-profit community of people who run a (half-)marathon on the same day in their respective countries. For more information please visit https://www.runtheworld.community/ Important: #RunTheWorld is _not_ a competition. It is about participation. We want to be inclusive and fun. We invite people to run as a group, where each member runs only a part of the distance. We invite people who want to walk. And we want to invite wheel chair users, too. Some specifications and goals for our logo design: 1. Must work in black/white 2. Must work in small resolution (square/circle avatars in social media) 3. Two variations: standalone graphic + combination with "#RunTheWorld" text

One logo that I liked a lot was the winning entry for "LOGO: eco friendly, sustainable brand aimed at people who would like to reduce waste": https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/logo-eco-friendly-sustainable-brand-aimed-people-who-991264/entries I wondered if we could create a made-up world that resonates earth in terms of colors, but not the visible continents. The continents would instead resemble runners (maybe 3: one person running, one person walking, one in wheel chair). Ideally it would have the effect that people would be confused at first, looking at the logo trying to figure out which part of earth they are seeing. But on second glance they realize that the continents resemble people, and once they do it's clear and they won't be able to "unsee" it. This is just a thought, we are open to other directions.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Logo & social media pack starts at $399.
