When I first started to theory craft ideas for my logo I started with basic ideas for fitness. I did not know if I wanted to go the food route or more of the working out for the logo. I decided to go for a more of a iconic route of fitness that being weight lifting. I wanted most people to understand the logo so I wanted something simplistic. For inspiration I looked at many different gym logos and found most had weights as a center focus and tried to make my logo similar. The creation of the draft was pretty simple, I liked how the hand was made in the tutorials and combined with the tools I learned in the pencil tutorial I was able to make a copy so that they were symmetric to each other by using the transform feature and reflecting the one hand. The same was done for the weights I created rectangles and then rounded them to look like weights. The feed back I received on my draft was very informative on some ideas that I could improve upon. Some of the ideas that I implemented on my final logo was the gradient on the bar itself to make the bar look more realistic. The second was fixing the text to be more lined up and symmetric to be visually appealing. My primary revision was the change to the standard weights from the old cartoon ball weights. I felt like this change makes the logo more rounded. The comments from my peers really helped with the creation for my final logo. It allowed me to get an understanding on where my logo was strong and where it was weak. Overall I am satisfied with the end result and think my final logo is much more refined and a better representation for my topic,
