Branding, Logo Redesign

Problems to Address

  • Outdated design
  • Loses legibility at smaller sizes
  • Printing complications

Design Constraints

  • Brand colors remain the same
  • Leverage brand recognition
  • Logo update to occur slowly over time through business areas

Design Approach & Rationale

With the existing logo serving as a strong foundation, the approach was to modernize instead of redesign.


This approach allowed for:

  • slow integration of the new logo over time so as not to create too glaring of a contrast between applications of the old and new logo in shared spaces
  • continuity of gym-goers' recognition of the old logo with enough difference to be noticibly refreshing

Outcome & Impact

  • The overall geometry of the logo was cleaned up to bring a sense of modernity.
  • Gradients were swapped for solid colors and a more legible font was selected to aid in reducing print complexities and improve the logo's range of scalability.
  • The final logo structure was then versioned into several color combinations to allow for flexibility in application across a variety of environmental and merchandising surfaces.
