Efectfit
Strategic Visual Communication for Fitness Brand
Analysis and improvement of Efectfit's visual identity, ensuring it accurately reflects their professionalism, personalized approach, and community-focused values.
Introduction
Addressing a Disconnect Between Brand and Visuals
Efectfit, a fitness center chain known for its personalized training and community-driven approach, recognized that its existing visual identity did not fully represent its brand values and professional services. This project aimed to bridge the gap between their established brand and its visual communication, creating a more cohesive and impactful brand experience.
My role
Visual Strategist and Designer
My role encompassed a comprehensive analysis of Efectfit's existing visual identity and the development of a new visual communication strategy. I conducted a detailed evaluation of their brand values, target audience, and market positioning, and then translated these insights into tangible design solutions. I was responsible for presenting the analysis, proposing new visual directions, and creating various design assets within the chosen style.
Process
Analysis, Direction, and Implementation
The process began with a presentation outlining the current state of Efectfit's visual identity and proposing two distinct design directions for improvement. This presentation was based on an in-depth analysis of the client's website, brand materials, and overall brand perception. I then created visual applications of the chosen direction across various platforms, including online banners, social media posts, posters, gift cards, and billboards.
The Challenge
Translating Intangible Values into Visual Language
The primary challenge was to visually represent Efectfit's core values of personalized training, community support, and holistic well-being. This involved capturing the essence of their unique approach, which goes beyond traditional gym experiences, and translating it into a compelling and consistent visual language.
Solution
A Visually Cohesive and Community-Driven Design
The chosen visual direction focused on a modern, clean, and dynamic aesthetic that conveyed professionalism and energy. I incorporated visuals that emphasized personal connection, community engagement, and the transformative power of fitness. The new design was implemented across all platforms, creating a unified brand experience that resonated with Efectfit's target audience.
Results
A Refreshed Brand Identity that Resonates
The updated visual communication successfully aligned Efectfit's brand identity with its core values and professional services. The new design enhanced their online and offline presence, creating a more engaging and impactful brand experience for their clients.
Lessons Learned

This project highlighted the importance of aligning visual communication with a brand's core values and target audience. It reinforced the need for thorough analysis and strategic thinking in creating effective design solutions. It also emphasized the impact that a cohesive visual identity can have in strengthening brand perception and engagement.
