THE DETAILS

UMEI is the modern solution for active recovery, empowering people to do more of what they love while feeling their best. With their world-class 3D printing technology and a unique lattice structure, their shoes are designed to accelerate recovery and enhance comfort.

They wanted a modern identity that reflects the innovative technology behind their shoes, while capturing the dynamic and unique spirit of those who wear them.

THE CHALLENGES

MOVEMENT: The logo had to embody a sense of motion

ADAPTABILITY: The logo needed to change seamlessly across mediums while maintaining recognition

MODERN APPEAL: The logo had to appeal to an audience that valued both tech and activity

DESIGN CONCEPT

The visual identity for this company draws inspiration from its signature 3D-printed lattice structure, featuring a circular, interconnected pattern. The logo was designed to bridge both tech and fashion spaces, reflecting the brand’s innovative fusion of both industries.

I created a constellation-like icon that echoes the 3D-printed motif, symbolizing the idea of manifesting one’s future through self-care. Complementary sister marks adapt in shape while maintaining the same core structure, representing the shoe’s versatility and the individuality of those who wear them.
