MMA & Martial Arts Logo Design Explained

Most importantly, martial arts teach resilience, honor, respect, discipline, and self-control. Furthermore, a good martial arts logo design should reflect the serious mentality required. Immediately communicate the athletic ability and cultural background of the style it represents. Here then are a few key considerations for logo designers.

Branding Yourself

So, a martial arts logo is the first impression your company or event will make on prospective customers. For instance, you need something that reaches out to the demographic interested in your services. Something that is understood right away. Furthermore, you would not want martial arts teachers to pass by your martial arts competition, for example, because they mistakenly think it was for a different sport. Marketing and branding your Martial Arts business

Likewise, if you are a martial arts master, you would not want students to pass by your school when looking for a master of the exact style you teach. The purpose of a martial arts logo is to connect to your audience and communicate the services and professionalism you offer. Try starting your own MMA club

Common Aspects of Martial Arts Logos

Whether it is for a martial arts school offering lessons or a martial arts competition, the logo design should add gravity and thoroughly communicate your purpose. Most logos for MMA of this type use a sharp contrast of black and white. Sometimes adding an additional color, like bright red. This stark color scheme impacts the viewer with an immediate understanding of action and culture.

Above all, the characters used in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean languages instantly communicate an Asian background. While some martial arts utilize this authentic cultural reference in their logos for MMA. However some choose in-depth symbolism through animal representation. Others use immediate recognition through illustrations of fighters using common striking or grappling techniques. A Kung Fu logo, for example, often expresses the inner spiritual dimension and concentration with a yin yang symbol in the design.

More importantly, a good logo looks impressive when enlarged for a sign or banner, yet still shows clearly at a very small size for business cards and brochures. Martial arts logo images typically display limited colors and utilize simple lines for easy translation in screen printing on uniforms and equipment.

Here are some examples of martial arts logos, broken down by some of the various major disciplines:

 

Karate Logos

Firstly made popular in American youth culture through mainstream movies like the Karate Kid. The Karate style uses a high-powered striking technique that focuses on hand and elbow strikes. Often, Logos for MMA incorporate the Japanese flag colors of red and white, sometimes including the disk of the Japanese flag’s red sun. Furthermore, karate logos also tend to utilize Japanese symbols or images depicting hand strikes and karate masters in action. Shotokan Karate style logos utilize the symbolic image of the sectioned tiger without a bodily outline.

Jiu Jitsu Logos for MMA 

Another popular Japanese martial arts form, Jiu Jitsu. Most importantly it uses logos that incorporate the red, white, and black colors found in other karate logos. Jiu Jitsu (also known as Jujutsu or Jiu-Jitsu) focuses on a style that uses the enemy’s energy against him. Above all, focused on neutralizing the enemy. The Jiu Jitsu technique uses holds, joint locks, and throws that are sometimes reflected in the Jiu Jitsu logos.

Last but not least, the commonly practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (or Gracie Jiu Jitsu) is more focused on ground grappling. Practicing a modified Jiu Jitsu approach to combat. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu focuses on leverage and many of the logos for MMA depict the striking and grappling that happens in ground fighting positions. However, because of the origin, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu logos usually incorporate the bright green, yellow, and blue of Brazil’s flag. Also a triangle is regularly incorporated in the Gracie Jiu Jitsu style logo. Representing the three components of Gracie Jiu Jitsu mastery – mind, body, and spirit.

Mixed Martial Arts Logo (MMA) 

Interestingly, made popular through media exposure and MMA style fighting shows. Mixed Martial Arts utilizes techniques from a variety of styles. Furthermore, a Mixed Martial Arts logo uses a simple text and illustration. Focusing on impact rather than cultural reference. Current Mixed Martial Arts logos reflect a Western design influence, with flat color use, bold sans-serif fonts, and no Asian symbols. The current EA Sports MMA logo uses tribal tattoo markings to communicate the brute combat and tough matches of the fighting game.

Taekwondo Logos for MMA

The art of Korean self-defense is one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world and dates back further than 2,000 years. Utilizing kicks, punches, and blocks, Taekwondo (or Tae Kwon Do) is one of the few martial art forms included in the Olympic Games. Taekwondo logos frequently depict the style’s emphasis on kicking techniques.

The World Taekwondo Federation, for example, includes the silhouette of a fighter kicking in place of the “T” in the “WTF” letters of its logo. Many other logos use a Taekwondo fighter kicking or sparring. Often, the logos incorporate the red, blue, white, and black colors of the Korean flag. The flag’s blue and red yin yang symbol is also shown in many Taekwondo logos.
