Dark running track with 2026 painted across the lanes

A near-black background fades into a monochrome photo of an athletics track seen from a low angle. White lane lines curve off to the right, and the year is stenciled across four lanes like starting numbers. The lighting is moody, with the edges vignetted to black, so all attention falls on the lines and numerals. The only colour is a single muted gold accent in the bottom text, which gives a sleek, competitive tone.

Layout: The brand wordmark is centered at the top over black space. The curved running track sweeps across the middle with the year stenciled in the lanes, and centered two-line copy plus a gold hashtag sit at the bottom.
Typography: Rounded custom geometric sans wordmark; clean geometric sans body with a bold lead-in phrase; small gold accent line.

Design an original New Year Instagram post for my brand, following the art direction below. It describes a reference design in full, so you don't need to see the reference.

My brand: [my brand], [what my business sells].
Language for any text on the design: English.
Size: 1080 × 1350 px (Instagram portrait).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Dark running track with 2026 painted across the lanes.
- Look and feel: A near-black background fades into a monochrome photo of an athletics track seen from a low angle. White lane lines curve off to the right, and the year is stenciled across four lanes like starting numbers. The lighting is moody, with the edges vignetted to black, so all attention falls on the lines and numerals. The only colour is a single muted gold accent in the bottom text, which gives a sleek, competitive tone.
- Layout: The brand wordmark is centered at the top over black space. The curved running track sweeps across the middle with the year stenciled in the lanes, and centered two-line copy plus a gold hashtag sit at the bottom.
- Typography: Rounded custom geometric sans wordmark; clean geometric sans body with a bold lead-in phrase; small gold accent line.
- Colours: #000000, #020202, #0f0f0f, #21211f, #343330, #4c4c4c (background #000000, text #4c4c4c, accent #4c4c4c).
- Mood and details: ambitious, bold, dramatic, running track, lane lines, stenciled numbers.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/1096908053016950204-492be4c02a38.jpg (if you can't, carry on from these notes; don't ask me for it).

Rules:
- Build the same kind of idea around [my brand]: make my product or service the hero, the way the reference does. Don't copy its artwork, people, products, logo or text.
- Leave a clean space for my logo. Never invent a logo, prices, phone numbers or claims.
- One strong idea, few words, and text large enough to read on a phone.

Before you design, ask me for my brand name and what my business sells. Then create the image.
