Coeur d’Alene Triathlon

December 29, 2025February 28, 2022 by Admin

Tran Creative creates the new design for the 2022 CDA Triathlon. This year, CDA will be the destination for State Championship and National Qualifier. Custom medals designs will be featured soon.

Tran Creative is excited to team up with the 2020 Coeur d’Alene Triathlon for epic swim bike run. For the 2nd year, CDA Triathlon will have a “deep water start” for its Olympic swim. Swimmers will board the cruise ship, which will take them out 1.5 km to transfer to the staging barge. From the barge, swimmers will enter the water to wait their turn at starting buoys for a 1500 meter swim to city beach. Who’s in?

NEW DESIGN – #TranCreative is teaming up with Coeur d’Alene Triathlon for an epic day of SWIM BIKE RUN in downtown Coeur d’Alene.

2015 marks the 32th anniversary for one of the premiere triathlons in the Inland Northwest – Coeur d’Alene Triathlon & Duathlon. Event organizers hired Tran Creative to create a fresh new look that communicates: scenic, progressiveness, and quality in such a historic annual sporting event.

After much research and many logo variations, the chosen final logo conveys speed, movement, scenic and simple enough to recognize and withstand the test of time for years to come. Research showed that there were many triathlon logos with typical SWIM BIKE RUN figures. We wanted CdA Tri logo to be unique in its own ways. Our designers crafted a “dynamic” letter “C”. The new logo also conveys speed, movement, active, bike wheel, athlete, water, wave, and mountain top. In doing so, we captured both aspects of the race: athlete & magnificient landscape of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Color Blue = water, lake. Green = nature, fresh. Orange is symbolic of Energy, Speed, and Passionate Commitment from organizers to bring the best possible race each year to participants. To learn more about the race, visit: www.CdATriathlon.com

Hayden Triathlon

Hayden View Triathlon started in the summer of 2008. After 3 years of establishment, its brand has taken a toll. Series of events in 2010 have led to a substantial drop in brand equity. Many people enjoyed the beautiful race venue, but wondered about the uncertainty of the brand. Will it still go on…?

Tran Creative has revitalized the brand.

The Strategy:

A new group of motivated & community minded individuals have joined together to reorganize the event. We decided to give the event a new name, a shorter but more direct version from the original name. Since race organizers will be working closely with the City of Hayden, we view it best to call it the All-New Hayden Triathlon.

We wanted to start building brand equity for Hayden. Therefore, the word “View” was dropped because it now signifies a whole new beginning. Obviously, the venue is known for its majestic lake and scenic backdrop of Hayden Lake. “View” is no longer necessary.

The Ideas + Execution:

Research shows that most triathlon logos often have the 3 swim/bike/run figures. We wanted to be professional but unique and different than the rest.

2 active shapes form letter “H” for Hayden. The 2 shapes also read “11”. It signifies the year the event entering into a new era. Orange = Sun + Energy + Passion. Blue = Water + Lake. The typography is clean and timeless so it could exist another 10-20 years.

Many of the local logos often feature pine trees, mountains, and elements that people are expected to see with first thoughts. In this design, we pushed the concept much further and took parts of these elements and applied them in a subtle style. Ex.: the left shape has character of the peak of a mountain. We added the diagonal lines to also communicate the mountain range that we have here in the area. The right shape is part of a person’s leg striking in running form.

Overall, Tran Creative made the logo easy to apply onto different applications + promotional items.
