About Mamba Chiliast Brand Identity
Mamba Chiliast is a brand identity created for a basketball community formed by fans of the Mamba Mentality. The identity brings members together through basketball activities and gives them a sense of belonging, pride and distinction. The logo uses the shape of a hexagram as its visual framework, formed by the combined letters M and C. An eye placed at the visual center represents the Mamba. The hexagram recalls shared associations of belief, organization and energy. The logo can be printed, sewn or injection molded in many sizes.

- We believe that using people's collective memory in the communication process can not only improve communication efficiency, but also stimulate more emotional feelings. Through long-term communication, the hexagram symbol builds up a collective memory of the image about religion, organization, energy, etc. in people's minds.
- Inspiration
- The logo uses the shape of hexagram as the visual framework, and the letters M and C in it combine to form the shape. This design intuitively calls people's collective memory and conveys comprehensive feelings about religion, organization, and energy.
The eye of Mamba in the Logo, as the visual center, lights up the visual framework of the logo. The eye, representing the Mamba, serves as a reminder that fans' thoughts and deeds are always seen by their hero. This design is reminiscent of 'the eye of providence' and calls more people's collective memory. - Image Credits
