ADIDAS has not just one, but four logos that they use across a variety of their products and lines.

One thing that's the same across all four logos is that the A is never capitalized.

Reportedly, the brand always starts with a lowercase A to represent inclusion and accessibility.

The lowercase A emphasizes that fact.
