Emblem designed for a new martial arts school rooted in Japanese Karate and Ju-Jitsu methods of close combat.

The name Eclipse was chosen with concepts of light/dark, circular/round and yin/yang in mind. The name as well as visuals were to embody the aspect of "the point where two objects meet/touch".

Laid out in a traditional Japanese crest form ("mon"), the logo abstractly symbolizes these concepts as well as a natural flow and movement of limbs and forces in these martial arts.

Countering the traditionalist symbolism, typographic treatment brings some of the contemporary sports spirit into the logo.
