LOGO AND USE POLICY V2.0 Updated 2/1/2024

MAJOR TAYLOR CYCLING CLUB CHICAGO

As we journey into 2024, Major Taylor Cycling Club Chicago (MTC3) proudly introduces an update to our logo, focusing on the standardization of our font and color palette. This refinement is a testament to our commitment to a clear and consistent brand identity, reflecting the professional and unified spirit of our club. By aligning our logo with recognized standards, we aim to enhance our visual communication and strengthen our recognition in the cycling community. As we adopt this updated logo, we kindly remind our members and affiliates to familiarize themselves with our revised Logo and Use Policy detailed below. It is crucial for us to use this symbol uniformly across all platforms, ensuring that the MTC3 brand is represented accurately and consistently in all our interactions.

Our colors, white, black, and a striking red (Pantone PMS 186 C), symbolize purity, strength, and passion, resonating with our commitment to cycling and community. The red, with its HEX color #CF0A2C, RGB (207,10,44), and CMYK (2,100,85,6), brings a bold energy that captures the essence of our club. Complementing our colors, we’ve chosen the Bicyclette font, known for its clean lines and contemporary style, mirroring our forward-thinking and inclusive ethos. This font not only represents our dedication to cycling but also aligns with our mission to unite and inspire cyclists from all walks of life.
