Level Up Logo Concepts

Personalised Fitness Studio

Level Up logo concepts

Six directions for the studio's mark. Each is shown on the two backgrounds from the GymMobile app theme, hero black and scaffold off-white, then tested at app-icon size.

Hero black #0F0F0F
Scaffold #F5F5F2
01

Ascent

An italic L and U, with the right arm of the U rising into an arrow. The closest to your first reference, drawn as a custom monogram so the arrow grows out of the letter.

02

Lockout

A lifter at the top of an overhead press, drawn as a pictogram, with the loaded bar in the accent colour. Shown in the brand red your GymMobile app already uses.

03

Forge

A round badge with a kettlebell at the centre and an arrow cut out of its body. Suited to T-shirts, wall decals and a social profile picture.

04

Stages

Three chevrons stacked like rank stripes, faint to bright, for the levels a client works through. The tagline sits beside UP in three short lines.

05

Loaded Bar

A typographic mark: LEVEL above a loaded barbell, UP below it. There is no illustration to simplify, so it prints cleanly in one colour on anything.

Barlow ExtraBold · Bumper Orange

Hero black #0F0F0F
Scaffold #F5F5F2
06

Apex

The outline of a hex dumbbell head framing an LU monogram, with a small chevron above it. Wide, light lettering gives it the feel of a premium members' studio.

App icon test

Each symbol on hero black at home-screen size (88 px) and favicon size (32 px). Concepts 03 and 05 use a reduced version here, because their full lettering would be unreadable. At 32 px, 01, 04 and 05 stay the clearest.

Colour options

Any concept can take any of these. Each accent has one value for dark backgrounds and one for light backgrounds, chosen so it keeps at least 3:1 contrast on both.

UPOn dark #86DB4A
UPOn light #3E9E1C

Signal Green

Used in 01 and 04. Fresh and competitive, like your first two references.

UPbrandRed #E1140A
UPbrandRed #E1140A

App Red

Used in 02. The red from the GymMobile theme. It passes on both backgrounds, so one value is enough.

UPOn dark #FF7A1A
UPOn light #E2560C

Bumper Orange

Used in 03 and 05. Hot and loud. Suits a strength-focused studio.

UPOn dark #D8B25A
UPOn light #8A6B1C
