If you work in fitness, you already know how important personal and professional branding is.

Especially as your training program gets larger, and you have more avenues to reach audiences, it’s easy for your brand to get lost.

One way to make sure you stay as consistent as you tell your clients they should be?

By creating unique and motivating personal fitness logos to build your brand.

Learn some of the best ideas on where to get started in this post.

1. Create Designs That Focus On Results

Most clients hit the gym because they want to make a change. They want to look better, improve their fitness, and even fight dangerous diseases like obesity and diabetes.

Of course, if you’ve ever pushed yourself in the gym, you know how tempting it can be to quit. And if you’ve ever struggled to lose weight, you know how tough it can be to take that first step.

Effective personal training logos need to be just as motivational as fitness experts themselves. Through your logo, you want to transform personal training.

They need to advertise and convey that what clients are looking for is possible, and they need to focus on results. We love the idea of having a thinner body outlined in a different color, inside of a larger person. Additionally, images like a client lifting a barbell over their heads or high-fiving with a trainer on a scale are also motivational ideas.

2. Use Colors To Keep Your Logo Welcoming

Lots of people don’t get the fitness expertise and help they need because they’re intimidated by the atmosphere of a gym. Or, they could be embarrassed and insecure about working with a personal trainer.

It’s one of the reasons it can be so tough to get clients.

While your image choice needs to rely on motivation, your color choice can reflect a welcoming, no-judgement vibe.

Bright, festive tones like blues, pinks, oranges, and greens help to keep things positive.

3. Reflect Your Training Style

Every personal trainer has a different, distinct style — and personal training logos need to reflect that.

If you teach barre fitness, it wouldn’t make sense to have a logo featuring weight training. If you’re a kickboxing coach, your logo should illustrate that.

The same goes for your individual training method. Are you a tough love trainer? Your logo could show you cheering on a sweating client on the treadmill. If you have a softer touch, your logo could include an image of you helping a client hold a barbell.

So, you’re almost ready to put out your first EP, you’re getting better gigs than just local dive bars, and now you’re focused on your band’s merchandise.

Before you do anything else, you need to come up with a logo for your band!

Learning how to make a band logo is a fun part of the creative process, but it can also be an important part of your marketing process. While everyone loves penning songs and passing around the tip bucket at shows, musicians have to eat, too!

Your logo can help your fans to recognize your band, looks great on your social media accounts, and helps to get your name out.

You can even include it on your instruments, like your guitar or custom bass drum head.

But the process isn’t as easy as you might think. Keep reading to learn how to make a band logo that’s as recognizable as Weezer’s Flying W or Metallica’s lightning bolt letters.

1. Consider The Genre

One of the reasons why band logos like Metallica’s are so successful is that they fit perfectly within the genre of music the band plays.

Heavy metal and lightening bolts? Sounds about right. The Beatles, a British band, taking over Abbey Road in London? Perfect. Punk rockers The Misfit’s skeleton? Makes sense.

No matter what kind of music you play, your logo should reflect it.

2. Consider Your Fans

Of course, a band lives and dies by its fan base. Sometimes, your fans know your band just as well as you do. Plus, they’re equally as creative.

Why not crowdsource your fans and ask for their input? You could even (giving proper artistic credit to the winner, or course) have a logo design contest!

It’s a great way to make sure you have lots of options, as well as an awesome chance to connect with your fans.

3. Consider Your Lyrics

Especially in bands that have multiple members, finding people that share the same creative vibe is tough (after all, look at how many band breakups there have been!)

But once you find the right mix, it’s easier to figure out what your band is really all about. Look at your lyrics to find your overall message. Is there a particular line that stands out to you and your fans? A major hit you want to celebrate?

It worked for Omaha-based musician Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, who sung about a “yellow bird” in his song “Poison Oak.”

He created a logo and album art including the yellow bird. The yellow bird soon became one of his most recognizable logos, generating lots of merch and even fan tattoos.

Whether you’re obsessed with motorcycles or just want to know more about the history of logo design, this is the post for you.

In it, we’re sharing the top 5 facts behind famous motorcycle logos.

1. Harley-Davidson’s Shield

Of course, this is probably the most recognizable of all motorcycle logos.

But did you know it actually depicts a shield, and that it has been around since 1909?

Additionally, Harley-Davidson had its own special font created just for the logo. Now, it’s been used by multiple companies and designers to give a tough, chrome-filled look to countless products.

2. The History of Honda

Everyone can instantly recognize the gleaming, chrome silver “H” of the Honda logo. But the logo the company uses for its cars is different than the one it places on its motorcycles.

The main difference?

An upward-facing, bright red wing. Over the years (and during special occasions or limited releases) the wings have been many different colors. We especially like the basic black, or the more patriotic red, white, and blue.

It seems like a great excuse to keep collecting more motorcycles!

3. Ducati’s Evolution

If you’re a motorcycle buff, you may have noticed that Ducati’s logo has changed several times over the years.

When the company was first created in the 1920s, the logo included a bolt of thunder. Later on, Ducati’s motorcycles were branded with a bird in flight. Soon, red and green, the colors of the Italian flag, were added to the mix.

Today, Ducati’s logo is a red shield shape, with silver writing and a depiction of a slightly curved road.

Who knows what will be next?

4. Yamaha’s Musical Past

You’ve seen the Yamaha logo countless times, but do you actually know what it is?

Interestingly, it’s actually a tuning fork! This is because the founder of Yamaha wasn’t initially in the motorcycle business. In fact, he was a celebrated piano maker.

If you fall during a bike ride, this would be a great story to tell your motorcycle injury attorney!

5. The Truth About the BMW Logo

Lots of people wrongly think that one of the most famous motorcycle logos, the BMW logo, is an airplane propellor.

Well, it turns out, they’re wrong.

However, it’s not too much of a stretch, as the logo does have something to do with aviation. This is because the colors of the logo are actually based on the flag of the Bavarian region in Germany.

But while BMW actually did make airplanes during World War I, afterwards, it switched to making motorcycles.

How’s that for a fun cocktail party fact?

Construction companies do much more than shape urban skylines.

They build the infrastructure, from roads and airports to educational and health facilities, which drive the nation’s economy and make the world a better place.  But beyond identifying construction companies from the work they do, customers need to identify them by their corporate logos.

An eye-catching logo is a visual cornerstone for your business and can earn you respect and a good reputation in the industry.

With that in mind, here are top qualities you should incorporate in your construction logos.

1. Specificity

The construction industry has a number of sectors, including industrial sector, residential sector and the commercial sector.

Although large construction companies have subsidiaries specializing in various sectors, smaller companies typically focus on one sector of the industry.

As such, a good construction logo should indicate the sector of the industry your establishment is engaged in. If you build and renovate residential homes, the logo icon can be that of a residential home.

This ensures your logo targets a specific customer base.

2. “Green” Construction Logos Are a Cut Above the Rest

We are a green generation.

In the United States alone, 74% of adult citizens strongly believe in environmental protection.

Yet, buildings impact the environment in several ways. They account for 39% of all carbon emissions in the country, and trees are felled to produce timber used to build structures such as patio pavers.

Marketing your construction business as an eco-friendly outfit that uses sustainable building practices can give you an edge over the competition.

And what better way to send this message than design a logo with shades of green or a tree icon?

3. Unique

Humans have an attention span of a goldfish.

If your construction logo resembles every other logo in the market, you can count on potential customers to have a hard time recognizing your brand.

A unique logo should clearly distinguish your brand from the competition. Use icons, color palettes and typefaces that set your construction logos apart.

4. Versatility

Logos are used on various surfaces.

You can paint it on your company premises, imprint it on your letterheads, display it on your website, or put it on company videos. A versatile logo should look just as eye-catching as the original copy on all the surfaces you intend to use it.

Besides using graphics that can make your logo unique, balance it with graphics that can make improve its versatility.

5. Creativity

The construction industry is one where creativity is being combined with human ingenuity to achieve remarkable building designs.

Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is a mega wonder, and Manhattan’s proposed U-shaped skyscraper will be a site for sore eyes.

Construction company logos should exhibit a similar level of creativity, too. You don’t have to go with roofs, chimneys, bridges, construction tools and other common symbols.

6. Classic/Timeless

Nike’s iconic Swoosh was designed in 1971. Almost half a century later, the Swoosh still lives on, albeit with minor changes.

Your construction logos should have an element of timelessness. Logos that don’t grow old, if you like.

You don’t want to design a logo that will need a major redesign five years down the road. Giving your logo a refresh costs money, and you may lose ground to your competitors.

It’s Time to Construct Your Logo!

A logo is a crucial visual component of your brand. Get it wrong and your competitors could trump you.

Using the best design tools in the market goes a long way to creating construction logos that stand out, and also stand the test of time.
