Visual Identity

Source: AF-1 '82 Shoe Lace Tag

Taking inspiration from sneaker culture elements and brand-adjacent recreations, the 606 Laces logo is a NOT box-logo that is box-logo with curves that attempt to mimic the AF-1 tags in a 1-color 2D world.

Color: #FF0

Purest form of 'red' on the RGB scale. One color for all things 606. The color of a Chicago 'Red Star' shining it's brightest.

Font: Futura PT

The font is a fixture of the 606 Laces visual identity, continuing the "borrowing" tradition of Supreme from Barbara Kruger.

In the Red Star (Cobbler) — 606 (Laces) world, the two elements are designed to flow drawing lines from Chicago's own branding.
