Reflecting the insights, the Initial Symbol of kt wiz was designed as two characters. - An extensive study on 125 sports branding case (MLB, NFL, NPB) as well as market research on 113 sports branded products set direction for product development process. - Sports branding case study were conducted with sports management experts to demonstrate the power of successful design.

CHALLENGE: Seek active support from home fans and distinction for between other sports brands. The emblem design reflects Suwon city, to show it is a community-oriented team. Most existing emblems tend not to show the name of their base region. Yet, after series of design development focused on proportion, size and color, kt wiz emblem states the name of the hometown Suwon in a clear and harmonious manner. As a design concept, the emblem design expresses the outer line of Banghwasuryujeong Watchtower of Suwon Castle, the landmark of the city. The emblem with a Korean traditional curve is widely loved by citizens of Suwon and fans right after launching.
