Graphic designer Mike Frederiqo became a household name overnight after his illustration of the infamous Kanye West as the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shmoofoil) trefoil heritage logo. Now, Frederiqo is back with a Pharrell [Williams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jd-williams) version that shapes the famous Happy songwriter as the German brand's trefoil sports logo.

To celebrate Williams' latest collaboration with the Adidas brand, Frederiqo recreated the [Adidas heritage logo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novak-djokovic), shaped like the trefoil leaf, from multiple repetition of a cartoon Williams image. The image shows Williams wearing the iconic Vivienne Westwood wide-brimmed hat and a red zip-up Adidas hoodie. To recreate the look of the Adidas trefoil logo, Frederiqo rearranges Williams' body into different positions such as Williams sitting cross-legged or laying flat on his back with his arms stretched out.
