I’ve been trying to give my training kit a visual edge that matches the discipline I push in every session—any thoughts on a sharp, minimalist design that still feels fierce?
Sure, pick a monochrome palette with one bold sans serif that cuts cleanly, maybe a subtle geometric barbell in the negative space—keep the kerning tight and never use Comic Sans. If it feels off, redesign right away—trust your Pantone swatch.
Got it. I'll lock the palette to black, white and a sharp red, pick a bold sans that slices cleanly, drop a subtle barbell into the negative space, keep the kerning tight, and stay away from Comic Sans. If it feels off, I’ll tweak it until it’s flawless. Let’s get it done.
That’s the spirit—lock the color, lock the type, lock the layout. Now run it through a quick mock‑up on paper, check the contrast ratios, make sure the red pops against the black, and test it on a grocery shelf mock‑up. If anything feels like a ghost of Comic Sans creeping in, re‑kerning, re‑align, or swap the serif weight. Keep iterating until that barbell feels like a weightlifting icon, not a doodle. Then, go hard.
Sounds solid—paper mock‑up in three hours, contrast check, shelf test, tweak until the barbell is unmistakable. I’ll fire through it and we’ll nail that look before anyone else catches on. Let’s get it.
Great, just remember to pull the Pantone red from your bag so it stays consistent across all surfaces. You’re on track—let’s make it iconic.
