Without doubt, physical fitness therapy has been with man since ancient times; and images such as logos have been instrumental to the propagation of the necessity of raising healthier people in society through physical fitness programs. In modern times, fitness centers have gained better recognition, and more of their merits are being discovered almost on a daily basis as a result of advancement in medical science and also, physical and health studies.

However, due to the wide occurrence of obesity in recent times; which has resulted in widespread demand for weight loss or fitness therapies, most people have reduced physical fitness to only “weight loss”. On the other hand, Ulrich Celeste, Professor at the College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Oregon University defined Physical fitness as “the ability of the human body to function with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to engage in leisure activities, and to meet physical stresses”. He further expressed that “Muscular strength and endurance, cardiorespiratory integrity, and general alertness are the overt signs of physical fitness”.

But even with the increasing popularity of physical fitness courses, many are yet to come to terms with its essentiality. It appears most people only commit themselves to it after they find themselves in health problems; whereas, exercises and other fitness schedules should be a part of everyone’s daily life. And to the logo designers, there is more to do in order  to give fitness centers and programs the best imagery that will depict how vital a good physical fitness plan, diligently adhered to, can be to healthy living.

Just imagine a world without houses, bridges and other inventions of the construction industry! No doubt, construction is as old as man; and great, breath taking creations such as the seven wonders of the ancient world and the Great Wall of China, coupled with several ancient monuments have graced our planet over the centuries. In modern times, skyscrapers dot skylines of several cities in different nations; and no doubt, feats in construction are increasing at an enthralling rate.

As the construction industry continues to boom with rising exposure to hi-tech, the industry, like others, needs befitting image representation that can portray its value to our world. No doubt, an apt logo is germane to the success of every construction firm because the logo speaks; and it may be the first ‘official’ a client would come across!  Hence, in addition to other factors such as quality service delivery and adoption of proper ethics that guarantee success, the logo’s role is still indispensable.

Obviously, in the present day world, graphic design has also experienced the ‘Midas touch’ of technology; and for this reason, the construction industry must cease the ample opportunity as a principal stimulus of our physical environment, to depict itself to the world. This can indeed be achieved by crafting and showcasing engrossing logos!

Churches are some of the most popular religious organizations in several parts of the world today. Regarded as corporate organizations, churches are expected to be registered with government and also adhere to state laws.

Most churches base their belief centrally on the Holy Trinity—God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. However, the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is seen as the major theme in Christianity. Teachings and messages from the Bible also extend to prophets like Elijah, Isaiah and Jeremiah who lived during Old Testament times. The writings and lives of New Testament apostles such as Peter, Paul, John, James and many others are also fundamental.

Over the years, churches and other Christian organizations try as much as possible to depict their tenets by their logo. Hence some church logos contain images of the cross or the crucifix. Other popular images are: the Bible, and also the white dove which represents the Holy Spirit. For a group such as the Roman Catholic Church, the figure of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus is highly revered.

Over all, a well-crafted logo is quite germane to a church organization. In fact, it is not usually just an image, but a great propagator of the church’s creed.
