Client: Fueling Strength - Fueling Strength focuses on empowering individuals to reach peak performance through balanced nutrition and strength training.
Industry: Health, Fitness, and Nutrition
Focus: Create a bold, energetic, and memorable logo that embodies the relationship between food (fuel) and strength (fitness). The brand needed a visual identity that inspires confidence and action.
Deliverables: Logo design, brand identity system, color palette, typography, and application assets.
Mood Boards: Explored visuals around strength, vitality, healthy eating, and empowerment.

Early sketches combined symbols of food/nutrition (apple, fuel) with images of power/strength (muscle, rocket power).

Initial sketches explored abstract flames, barbells, and food icons.
Concept narrowed down to a flexing arm combined with a rocket and apple, symbolizing strength fueled by nutrition and the drive to “launch forward.”
Typography explorations tested bold sans-serifs for impact and readability.
Key Elements:
Flexing Arm/Smoke Plume: Strength and athleticism.
Rocket with Apple-shaped window: Fuel, growth, nutrition, and forward momentum.

Typography:
