THE CHALLENGE

The Plano Turkey Trot needed a recognizable identity system that could scale across race signage, merchandise, and digital promotion while capturing the spirit of community participation.


CONCEPT: MOVEMENT THROUGH COMMUNITY

By embedding natural elements and hand-drawn lettering within the form, the mark captures both the physical journey of the run and the shared spirit of community, resulting in a visual identity that is expressive, scalable, and rooted in place.
