Event Highlights & Visual Analysis
Based on the official corporate logo provided, the host venue utilizes a clean, modern aesthetic that blends sporting motion with local identity:
Graphic Device: The crest features a stylized, dynamic oval ring layout composed of tilted concentric ellipses mimicking the flight rotation of a clay target. The outer ring is rendered in a deep hunter green, while the inner crescent ring is colored in a bright clay-target orange, separated by a crisp white channel.
Typographic Structure: Positioned cleanly to the right of the graphical icon is the venue name printed in bold green sans-serif lettering, presented bilingually to accommodate international crowds: "Strelski center Gaj Maribor" on the upper line, mirrored directly below by its English translation, "Shooting center Gaj Maribor".
