Logo Design Brief
Required logomark for a global lifestlye/sportswear/fitness apparel brand called ACTIVATE.
(PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN DIRECDTION)
Please provide unique icons that could depict the brand. I DO NOT want to see only logos using the letters AV.
The new product line is functional, premium performance apparel comparable to that of Lululemon's quality/fit and Nike's top end product. Our immediate market is business to business sales (B2B) to fitness professionals and athletic trainers requiring performance and lifestyle clothing.
We are looking to make a bold statement with our branding. CLEAN and SIMPLE. We are not a yoga brand and do not want a feminine styling as many of the recent fitness/yoga brands have presented. Our brand needs to be relevant for men and women, as well as transcend across athletic and lifestyle.
The brand name is Activate and can include the words Sportswear, Technical Goods, Clothing, or something of your suggestion. The name was spawned from the mantra: "Activate your Life". No matter what it is that you do in sport/activity, get out and do it. Our culture is that of a motivated, healthy, traveling, and active lifestyle which will be portrayed through continued branding. Our goal is to inspire an active lifestyle among everyone we reach.
Updates
Project Deadline Extended Reason: There were a few great logo submissions but I'd like to give you time to work on revisions or new logo submissions based on the feedback that was provided. Please remember, we are looking for a strong logomark to represent the brand. We will not be using AS to abbreviate the brand name. "AV" could be used in the logo design or "ACVT" to abbreviate ACTIVATE. Again, this is high performance athletic apparel and athletic uniforms for sports like Rugby. Thank you in advance for your revisions or new submissions. Added Monday, August 3, 2015
