01 / THE STORY BEHIND THE LOGO

Helsinki, 1994 — the moment in the mark.

The club was founded by a family of athletes across several generations, so the logo points to a specific historical moment. In 1994, in the men’s 400 m hurdles final at the European Championships in Helsinki, the founder’s father — Oleh Tverdokhlib — won the race and set a Ukrainian record of 48.06 seconds. That triumph became the foundation of the identity: the silhouette in the logo stands for victory, sporting heritage and the power of tradition the team was born from — a reminder that the club is built on a real history of records, races and years of work on the track.

02 / THE CLUB

A running club built on real history.

Tverdokhlib Team brings together people who train under experienced coaches and want to grow in a structured, safe way — from complete beginners to marathon athletes.

The name comes from the surname of the co-founder’s father — a European champion and record holder.

WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM

It carries a champion’s surname — and the standard that comes with it.

04 / CLEAR SPACE & MINIMUM SIZE

Room to breathe — measured by the runner.

Minimum clear space keeps the logo legible. The spacing module is the runner figure itself — keep at least its height free on every side. Below the minimum size the details merge together, so it counts as incorrect use.
