Brief

Idea
BACKBONE is a gaming backpack brand aiming to befriend and support gamers from behind. Two hearts facing upward represent the human backbone and express that BACKBONE will always innovate and move forward over time. The logomark is integrated into the logotype as a supporting backbone. This concept reflects the brand values of support, companionship, and reliability.
