any last minute people? i've narrowed down to a couple but want to extend my offer to all you talented people on here. my budget is $125-200 with all rights to the logo/designs given to me upon payment. you would of course be allowed to use it for your portfolio and resume. I've been doing some research on this market and what is a fair cost so if this sounds ridiculously low to you, then i don't need your help. I want to lay out a little bit of my vision here. extra plus if you live near seattle.

what would be your cost? also, revision wise how does that work if i don't like what you come up with? and in terms of different colors of the logo and all that... I don't really know how that works so if you could give me a little insight on that?

Everyone starts somewhere, and there’s always something to improve on. “Everyday is a new day.” There’s always something one can get better in, whether it’s something in life, fitness, whatever it is. But, one thing that doesn’t change is that it takes hard work and patience.

for me, this is important because i'm starting with apparel. i want it to be very memorable whether it's the first letter in my brand's name, or an actual logo the designer is able to come up with. Along with any advertising, social media, etc. This is why I’ve reached out for somewhat professional help because I want to set a solid foundation. I feel like simple, but having a deep meaning behind the logo is necessary.

It will be comfortable, functional, and fashionable enough for the gym, but also to wear on the streets. It’d be a new breed of gymstreet wear. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say “dude that tank/tshirt is tight.” I don’t want to charge as much as companies like Obey, Nike, Diamond, etc. But really focus on not only quality material, but quality relationships.

I envision this to be a very smalltime Nike, Adidas, any of those apparel brands. I want to eventually open a gym but I want to first build my brand, identity, reputation, fanbase. I’m sick of franchise gyms that focus on revenue. Of course that’s part of the business and what keeps gyms open, but I feel like there can be more done to make gym members feel welcome and wanted.

I want to be able to cater to “average joes.” Not everyone wants to be a professional bodybuilder or is an athlete. I started off as an extremely overweight and chubby kid, but found my outlet and passion in exercise/working out. I feel it is necessary for mental, emotional, physical health. I want to be able to break it down in simple terms/concepts for “average joes.” Society and social media has portrayed fitness and health as having abs. When this is definitely NOT the case.

I believe that health and fitness can be determined by the individual. If you’re healthy physically, have a job, healthy family life, healthy friendships, etc that is the definitely of health and fitness. I believe working out and being health conscious does not mean you have to starve, feel guilty for eating junk food once in a while, and hate what you have to eat. Like I said, we aren’t all made to be professional bodybuilders or athletes. I feel it’s important to enjoy life as it comes. Whether that be going out for a drink with some buddies, eating popcorn with a significant other at the movies, gorging on fast food once in a while. I feel like programs such as P90X, Insanity, etc are all marketing ploys that drive revenue. Of course people believe in it because they’re investing so much money, and I feel like people start getting tunnel visioned and think “this is the only way I’m going to be fit, this is the best thing.” These programs make so much money, and I’m sure not everyone follows through with the entire program.

I hope this has helped kind of paint a picture for you of what i want my brand to be. Whether it's the first letter of my brand name, or the whole name, or a logo that you're able to come up with. I want to use it on all my apparel interchangeably. When people think of the name of my brand, I want them to visualize my specific brand.
