Parabellum
The Parabellum Athletics logo is clean and minimal, built around two mirrored shapes taken from the upper part of the letter P. This simple but powerful mark creates balance and symmetry while staying calm and understated. The name Parabellum — meaning “prepare for war” — connects directly to the philosophy of combat sports. Like a bullet, it represents precision, speed, and impact, yet contained within a design that is controlled and disciplined.
When designing this logo, I wanted something stripped-down but symbolic. The mirrored P-shapes form a unique emblem that stands strong on its own, whether on apparel, mats, or digital media. The concept of a bullet inspired the design: compact, direct, and built for purpose. Just as in grappling or athletics, nothing is wasted — every move is efficient, sharp, and aimed with intent. Parabellum Athletics is about carrying that mindset: quiet strength, precise execution, and readiness at all times.
