GRIT | LowKure by Liam

The Message Behind Liam's Designs

LowKure Original Logo

LOWKURE: A Clothing Line with a Purpose

The LowKure Original Logo embodies the essence of resilience, healing, and self-discovery. The name "LowKure" is a meaningful combination of "Low" and "Kure," reflecting a profound journey of transformation.

  • "Low" represents the struggles we face, particularly low self-esteem, insecurity, and moments of vulnerability. It acknowledges the challenges of feeling stuck in difficult times, honoring the emotional weight many carry.
  • "Kure" signifies the pursuit of hope, healing, and growth. It represents the tools, support, and determination to overcome life’s obstacles, fostering a brighter and more empowered future.

The logo incorporates Liam Nishizawa’s original hand-drawn typography, preserving his unique artistic vision and creative spirit. His signature within the design serves as a heartfelt tribute to his legacy, making every detail of the logo deeply personal and significant.

LowKure stands for more than just a brand—it is a movement dedicated to raising awareness about youth mental health and creating a safe space for open dialogue. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of self-doubt and insecurity, there is always a path forward toward healing, confidence, and self-acceptance.

GRIT

This logo is about grit—the quiet strength it takes to keep going through grief, depression, trauma, or anxiety. Grit is getting up when it feels impossible. It’s holding hope when everything hurts. It’s trying again tomorrow.

The inclusion of Liam’s signature adds weight and tenderness—it’s a logo born from both pain and love. It tells the world:
“This mattered to him. This matters to us.”

LowKure by Liam is for those walking through the fire—who choose to carry on, not because it’s easy, but because they know they’re worth the fight. It’s not about perfection.
It’s about perseverance.

GRIT DEFINITION

Grit is the strength of character that allows us to persist through adversity, to keep showing up even when life feels impossible.

It is not about perfection—it’s about perseverance.

MENTAL HEALTH MESSAGE

In the face of anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, grit looks like getting out of bed when it feels like a mountain. It looks like asking for help, holding onto hope, and trying again tomorrow.

LOGO MEANING

This logo, born from Liam’s art, reminds us that even in pain, we are capable of endurance.

Grit is not the absence of struggle—it’s the courage to keep going through it.

STRENGTH | The Origami Boat

The Message Behind the Logo

The Origami Boat is more than just a logo—it’s the heart of LowKure’s story and mission.

Navigating Life’s Journey

The boat symbolizes life’s voyage—charting a course through calm seas and stormy waters. It serves as a reminder of resilience and the strength to keep moving forward, no matter the challenges.

Inspired by the Art of Origami

Crafted with simplicity and purpose, the origami design reflects transformation and mindfulness. Just as paper is folded into something beautiful and strong, the human spirit has the power to shape itself through perseverance.

A Tribute to Liam’s Vision

This timeless design honors Liam Nishizawa’s creativity and passion. The boat stands as a beacon of hope, carrying his dream of spreading mental health awareness and inspiring others to embrace their struggles with courage.

Timeless Elegance, Universal Meaning

With its minimalistic lines and thoughtful design, the Origami Boat is a universal symbol of adaptability, growth, and the belief in brighter days ahead.

Wear the Origami Boat as a symbol of strength and hope, and join LowKure’s mission to navigate life’s waves together.

STRENGTH

Strength is not always loud—it can be soft, delicate, and still powerful. Like paper folded into something that floats, it’s the quiet fortitude to carry on.

MENTAL HEALTH MESSAGE

Strength is vulnerability, boundaries, showing up to therapy, asking for help, holding space for others, and learning to rest.

LOGO MEANING

The origami boat floats even when it’s fragile. This logo reminds us that strength doesn’t mean never breaking—it means learning how to stay afloat in the storms.

HEALING | LowKure TearLight

The Message Behind The Logo

LowKure TearLight

The TearLight Logo is a powerful emblem of resilience, hope, and the transformative journey from struggle to strength. Designed with deep intention, it features a teardrop encircled by a radiant halo, each element carrying profound symbolism:

The Tear:

Representing personal struggles, challenges, and moments of vulnerability, the tear reflects the emotional weight we all carry at times. It is a universal symbol of human experience, reminding us that it is through these moments of pain and reflection that growth begins.

The Halo:

Surrounding the tear is a glowing halo, embodying light, hope, and the strength that overcomes adversity. It represents the guiding force of resilience, the inner power that transforms struggles into wisdom, and darkness into light.

Together, the tear and halo form the TearLight Logo:

A poetic visual narrative of life's balance—the interplay between hardship and healing. It serves as a reminder that every challenge carries the potential for light, and every tear can lead to clarity and strength.

This logo is more than an image; it is a tribute to the journey of overcoming, to finding beauty in imperfection, and to embracing the light within.

HEALING

Healing is the act of reclaiming your wholeness. It’s soft, slow, sacred work that honours every wound and every breakthrough.

MENTAL HEALTH MESSAGE

Healing looks like breathing through panic, finding safety in your body, reconnecting with your story, and discovering that brokenness doesn’t mean unworthy.

LOGO MEANING

This soft variation of the LowKure design speaks to tenderness. Healing is allowed to be gentle. It’s a light that begins to rise again, even in darkness.

LOVE | XII.XVIII.MMXIX; A Sister's Promise

The Message Behind the Logo

The Sister’s Promise – Discovering LowKure

The Sister’s Promise logo is a deeply symbolic tribute, representing the unbreakable bond between siblings and the commitment to carrying forward a loved one’s legacy. Originally designed by Kaylee as she turned her pain into purpose, this date holds profound meaning—it marks the beginning of a journey to honour Liam’s life through action, resilience, and advocacy.

Following Liam’s passing, his volleyball coach and team created a tribute clothing piece in his honour. Inspired by the impact of that piece, Kaylee set out to create a mental health clothing line to keep Liam’s memory alive. Three years later, in a powerful and unexpected discovery, she learned that Liam himself had designed a mental health brand called LowKure with one of his best friends - Clarice. In a beautiful coincidence, two worlds collided, and LowKure was born—blending Liam’s vision with Kaylee’s mission.

A Date to Remember — XII.XVIII.MMXIX;

At the heart of this tribute is the Roman numeral logo: XII.XVIII.MMXIX.

This date, December 18, 2019, marks the day the world lost an extraordinary, compassionate, and beautiful soul. It is a solemn reminder of Liam’s impact, his kindness, and the lives he touched. Paired with a semicolon (;), a universal symbol of strength and resilience, this design represents a continuation of life, even through the darkest storms. It is a tribute to enduring love, hope, and the courage to carry on.

More than just a logo, The Sister’s Promise is a universal symbol of remembrance, love, and unwavering devotion to those we’ve lost. It stands as a beacon of strength, a reminder that even in grief, we have the power to turn pain into purpose.

LOVE

Love is the bond that transcends time, space, and even death. It is the force that creates, protects, and remembers.

MENTAL HEALTH MESSAGE

When mental health is challenged, love shows up as compassion—for others and for ourselves.

It’s connection, loyalty, presence, and the sacred act of staying.

LOGO MEANING

This logo is Kaylee’s vow to her brother: to turn heartbreak into hope.

Love doesn’t disappear—it becomes a legacy of advocacy, care, and unbreakable promise.
