BRAND ARCHITECTURE
JOYBOOST
First City CrossFit, a Monterey, California based business was a start to finish project. First City's brand was a complete blank slate. We wanted the brand to feel strong and powerful, without being intimidating. The logo needed to reflect a sense of place, as First City is the official moniker of the City of Monterey --- Monterey was the first city established in California! We worked on use of the iconic California Bear (from the state's Bear Republic flag) as the focus of First City's brand.
​
Once the logo was developed, it was fun to take it and run --- using variations in decor of the gym facility, signage, and merchandise. Today, First City CrossFit is a thriving and growing business, thanks in part, to the brand architecture and market positioning made possible by the people of PiVOT.
