Realistic & Detailed Racehorse Logo for a Thoroughbred Design

Jun 3, 2023

Circle 8 Ranch located in Lexington, Kentucky has one aim: to empower all horse-lovers and enable them to own a racehorse of their own through their unique partnerships. They asked us to design a colorful racehorse logo with a bright purple to pink gradient that reflects a tone of accessibility along with their racing motto of “Adrenaline. Excitement. Thrills.” The abstract horse racing logo of Circle 8 Ranch was designed by incorporating the image of a modern, abstract Thoroughbred Racehorse in a circle to represent the number 8.

At Circle 8 Ranch, it is ensured that horses are well looked after and that they perform exceptionally well at racing events.

Envisioning Your Personalized Racehorse Logo

Circle 8 Ranch envisioned a colorful logo for their brand with vector lines simplistic enough to stand out and make a statement when embroidered on apparel and ball caps. Embroidery is something almost all of our clients do with their logos, therefore we are extremely particular about the thickness of the line art in order to ensure our horse logos look their best when used in small areas. Although they asked for pink and purple, they wanted their racehorse logo design to be masculine and ‘pop’ when the colors were placed on a black background.

How The Thoroughbred Racehorse Logo Is Designed

Every horse logo design we create begins with a client consultation, where we brainstorm about their ideas and vision for the logo. Circle 8 Ranch was not entirely sure what they wanted but trusted our logo design skills based off of other work they had seen. Our logo artists went to work trying to figure out a creative way to sculpt a horse into the number 8. We wanted this racehorse logo to be minimalistic, therefore we brought the design together by encasing it within a circle, which is also perfect for their namesake. The colors were achieved using a gradient pink to purple, which also created a nice blue tone where the colors begin to meet.

Typography And Shape For Circle 8 Ranch Racehorse Logo

The two main elements of this thoroughbred logo are typography and shape. An inner circle is used to capture the visual abstract representation of Circle 8 Horses, while the outer circle contains the textual name of the company and follows a round pattern. Along with the round motion, the elements of the racehorse logo are blended together with the same colorful gradient of magenta and blue. The particular specialty of the logo lies in how the horse is used for dual purposes with a natural flow: as itself and the Ranch’s number 8.
