20, is my vote so far.

Ive been drawing them on paper to see how it looks/feels and I keep thinking 20 looks good but odd? I was thinking there is some sort of disbalance about it?

I started working off of it, and I took off the dot, I can see how it would resemble a human, but aren't we going for a symbol rather than an image?

Without dot


I also tried a couple other ways

note: Im not an artist :P




Also why when I see this do I always think Dame du lac?

Well I like how it looks like a man and it looks like a mountain depending on how you want to see it. To me, it says our biggest obstacle is ourselves.


So keep the dot. :)

the third one is kind of cool. But I think the original is still the best, although I would llike to see a white version with a black background.

After months of discussing, designing, and deciding... We here at APK are proud to present the symbol you, the community, chose to represent yourselves.

Leon of The Tribe created the symbol that won by a landslide margin, even against some other awesome submissions. Of his design Leon explain: "First and foremost I designed it to look like a traceur in action. The ring around the traceur symbolizes our everlasting goal of training - we always strive to be better than we were before. We are continually progressing forward and although there is no end in sight, we are always further along our path then before.

The use of 5 strokes within the circle, representing to me the 5 elements in my life that compose a physical and spiritual part of life! Ring = life, 5 strokes = elements (fire, water, air, earth, spirit!)"

Be sure to check out the brand new shirt featuring the new symbol, available in the store now!

Big props to Leon for creating a sick design and lots of thanks to everyone who submitted, discussed, or voted on the designs.

It's been a while since I've been on. What ever happened with this?

Is there any gear with Leon's symbol?

I like Tricking and Free Running, i don't think i actually do parkour, because i do it for fun and self expression, which would change the term to free running.

I'm officially gonna start wearing this symbol. I want anyone that recognizes the APK symbol to come up to me and tell me they're in APK too. Hope there's people that recognize it and I'll make my own logo and wear it. Message me or something and I'll try and show you my logo.  ;D

The normal logo is simple and to the point. I like it.

Anyone notice that the symbol looks kinda like a runner getting ready to run in stick figure form?   :D

although I like the logo chosen, I was looking back and I think that the water drop image also looked pretty neat
