These bold and concentrated colours are a symbol of strength and reliability, reflecting the unwavering dedication and commitment to help our athletes achieve their dreams. Together, they create a powerful and dynamic visual identity that reflects our brand's values and mission.

The icons are designed to be used across a variety of mediums, including digital and print media, as well as merchandise & apparel. These icons are a perfect representation of Upstream Sports' philosophy of a minimal yet active style, with a consistent design that is easily recognizable and visually appealing.

Our design language is a minimalist masterpiece, conveying power and boldness through its clean lines and uncluttered simplicity. Understanding that less is more, our design philosophy reflects this by comprising only the core elements, the three strips, to make a strong visual impact.
