But [her] inner vulnerability is what effortlessly draws others to [her], creating a sense of belonging and comfort.”^{[6]

KATSEYE’s group logo is a conceptual image of a cat’s eye stone. The logo gives a celestial vibe, with one large vertical oval surrounding a six-point star and another oval tilted on its side. The design, which was made by the Husky Fox studio in Seoul, represents the gemstone that KATSEYE borrowed their name from, and the six-pointed star represents the six dynamic members of the girl group.^{[7]

- The colors and effects used in the logo also change from era to era. During KATSEYE’s debut and SIS (Soft Is Strong) era, for example, the group’s symbol featured iridescent colors and a Y2K vibe.

KATSEYE Members’ Official Colors

Each KATSEYE member has her own official color, all of which were confirmed by HYBE x GEFFEN (the group's label). The different colors represent the ~gemstone~ concept of the group. P.S., if you didn’t know, KATSEYE is a misspelling of the cat’s eye gemstone, which radiates different colors—just like how every member brings her own background and personality to the group. Fans (aka EYEKONS) can also use certain colors to show off their bias—so, if you want to show off yours, check out the official KATSEYE colors below:^{[8]
