LOGO - TreadTrend

About over a year ago, I designed a logo for my personal design studio, called Tang Design, which I am not very satisfied with. Recently, spent about 10 days, I reconsidered the whole vision of my personal design studio,including its mission,its passion,its cultural gene and its vision for future, then this new brand is generated, called TreadTrend, which means that hiking or jogging on the surface of the trend or sea. Surf-Trend popped up in my head in the very first time, but surf just sounds softer, a more stronger and more powerful verb is wanted,so changed the surf to tread, then treadtrend was given birth to. The corresponding Chinese name of treadtrend is 趟潮 with excatly the same meaning in it. Pinyin of 趟潮 is just the same as the one of 唐朝(tang chao)，which is the best historical period of China, called Tang Dynasty. The Capital of Tang Dynasty is just located in xi'an city, which is my hometown, I am very proud.

SLOGEN: Tread the trend, to be NO.1.

The whole profile of the logo is the greek letter 1, could you tell that ?

大约一年多前，我给自己的个人工作室设计了一个LOGO,叫做Tang Design, 但并不是非常满意。最近，花了大约10天时间，重新思考了自己个人工作室的愿景，包括它的使命，激情，文化基因和对未来的憧憬，然后就诞生了这个新的品牌，叫做TreadTrend，中文名叫趟潮。释义为在流行或海面上徒步或慢跑。最初，Sur-Trend是一下映入脑海，但是surf听起来有点软绵绵，想用一个更强大或更有力量的词，所以把surf改为tread。treadtrend对应的中文名叫趟潮，和英文名正好一个意思。趟潮的拼音刚好和唐朝一样，唐朝又是中国的最鼎盛时期。唐朝的首都刚还在西安，我的家乡，对此感到非常自豪！

我们的口号：趟潮而来，永争第一。

整个LOGO的外形正好是希腊字母1的大写，能看出来吗？
