What a fitness mark has to do
Fitness marks live on apparel more than on stationery. The real test is whether a member would wear it, because a logo people choose to put on their body is doing marketing no ad budget can buy.
- Strong enough as a shape to work on a shirt front, not just a website header
- Reproduces in one colour for screen printing and embroidery
- A compact badge variant for a sleeve, a cap or a water bottle
- Reads on a dark garment as readily as a light one
Drawing it as a wordmark
A wordmark puts the name first, which is the right choice for a business that gets discovered in a search result, a directory or a map pin. Nothing has to be explained before the name is read.
- 1Letter spacing is adjusted by eye at the sizes the mark will actually be used at, not at the size it is drawn at.
- 2Individual letterforms are modified where a stock typeface leaves the name feeling generic.
- 3A compact or stacked variant is produced for square placements, where a horizontal wordmark would be unreadable.
The mistake this sector makes most
Speed lines and flexing silhouettes date fast and rarely survive being embroidered. Geometry and typography age better in this sector than illustration does.
Where this mark has to live
A logo is not finished when it looks right on a screen. It is finished when it still works on every surface the business will put it on, which in this sector means at least these:
- Apparel and merchandise
- Gym signage and window vinyl
- Class schedules and social posts
- App and booking screens
What was handed over
Every project delivered by this studio ships the same way, whichever package it was bought under: editable vector masters, every export a printer or a developer asks for, and the written copyright assignment that makes the mark genuinely the client’s.
| Vector masters | Editable AI and EPS, plus PDF and SVG. Everything else can be regenerated from these, which is why they matter more than any export. |
|---|---|
| Web and social exports | PNG with transparency and JPG at the sizes profiles, favicons and site headers need. |
| Lockup variants | Horizontal and stacked arrangements, a single-colour version, and a reversed version for dark backgrounds. |
| Colour and type reference | Exact colour values for print and screen, and the typefaces used, so anything made later matches. |
| Copyright assignment | Written transfer of the design to the client. Not a licence — the assignment is what makes trademark registration in their own name possible. |
A note on what this page does not claim. We publish the mark, the sector it was drawn for and how work of this kind is built. We do not publish a client’s budget, timeline or commercial results, and we do not invent them. If a client wants their project written up in full, they tell us so and we ask them for the numbers.
