    Hi Guys

    I'm trying my best to create a logo for my son.

    He is looking for a fitness logo, firstly to use on his You Tube channel, but also wants to get T-Shirts printed for the classes he will be taking at the local gym.

    He still is only 16 and currently going through all the qualifications needed, he has been given the chance by the local gym to teach youngsters (6-10 year olds) whilst supervised by a fully qualified instructor, but they have given him permission to promote his Channel by wearing his own T-Shirt.

    His name is Conor Riches, and as you can tell by the below design, I've tried to make it a play on words with his name.

    As usual I got the grunts and groans at my attempt (so I'm obviously not with it, whatever it is???) so come cap in hand to ask for help.

    Thanks in advance

    @1970Forest will get the design team to work on this ASAP. Hope others join in too, you helped others a lot around here so it's the least we can do.

    Not much to go on Mr Forest.
    While I am waiting for the rain to stop and then go out to repair a fence a tree fell on, don't want the cows to get out, I'll post up a you tube channel size so Conor can pick apart, then we will all have a direction to head in.

    Love the work Mr Ish.

    Yep your right not much detail (sorry) and I should have known better considering how many I've pulled up for this :whistle:

    Try working out a 16 yr old's mind.....grrr

    He is after a more adult geared logo, as he aspirations are to work with adults in the future, and the kids thing is only a starter point. So wants a logo / tag that will become more recognizable going forward and less need to change.

    He says anything Fitness related and to incorporate he name into the header of he logo (what I call a play on words).
    I tried the graphic with, dumbbell's / gym bench / athlete's / sit ups, even tried doing a dumbbell made with his name as the graphic etc etc etc, but just got a groan from him. The best or should I say the more to his liking was my attempt in OP, but still not what he was looking for.

    It needs to be simple, 2 or 3 colours (transparent background). easy to read.

    Here's a few he liked;

    Hope that helps a bit,

    @1970Forest A few questions.

    What sort of fitness programs does your son teach? We'd appreciate it if it is specified.
    Any fitness specialty your son is interested in? Something to take into consideration for the longevity of your logo.
    Does your son want his name to be prominent or does he have a specific catchphrase or name?

    Thank you!

    Hi Chad

    He is studying all aspects of fitness training, and he is wanting to be able to teach what ever exercises relating to a gym, so he covers all his bases to what the client wants.

    So logo would be generally show some kind of method for keeping fit (not too sure how to put that into words so my apologies)

    Regarding the naming, again a slight play on words; 'The Riches of Fitness' by Conor, but that's not set in stone, as some may find a better way or caption to mix his name with the heading?

    As with any 16yrs old it's hard for him to explain as it's his first time, but his conviction at doing this is 100% and he Uni classes he has chosen support this.

    Thanks for reading

    Nice one Mr Ish, I did exactly the same in one I did for him, but his feeling was that it promoted more to body build more than fitness....still like the design though

    Chad, your logo I can't totally make out, but is the C-R in the form of a runner, if so magic idea?

    Hi Forest. Yes. The first logo takes in the initials "C" and "R" to look dynamic, in the form of a runner. The second one takes on the silhouette of a crown, y'know... "Riches".
