Snazzy logo 4 new kids' gym promoting fitness & fighting obesity

Fit Kidnections

I am an elementary teacher and certified personal trainer who wants to help fight childhood obesity. I am a very passionate person about healthy living. I was a very overweight person who lost 138lbs and have regained my life back. I want to reach kids before they get to that point of wanting to give up on their health.

Our children's gym will be taking up half of an exercise studio (other half is for adults) and will host P.E. classes for homeschoolers, physical activity for toddlers and preschoolers, and after school activities for elementary and middle schoolers that will include structured play. We will have a variety of programs with small groups of 3-5, larger groups of up to 20, as well as individual personal training for kids up to age 18. Our goal is to get kids to enjoy being active. We will also have a nutritional component.

Our mission statement is: To provide a haven for kids of all ages to engage in a stimulating mix of activities that build strong bodies, promote an appreciation for healthy living and foster confidence and self esteem.

Our tag line is "Connecting kids and their families to a lifestyle of healthy habits"

A new market in our area for kids 2-18. Some will be working out with me while their parents work out on the adult side of the gym. We are also targeting homeschoolers for a daytime P.E. class, and afterschool kids who need activity (could already be active and healthy or might be overweight) and probably not involved with team sports.

Our programs do not involve competitive sports

The logo would be displayed on building signs, business cards, stationery, website, t-shirts, water bottles and advertising in magazines and newspapers.

Want a 3 color logo in as many digital formats as possible

*****
Different digital formats (vector, JPEG, etc.); not sure exactly what types of formats I need but wanted to make sure that I will be able to display the logo on the following: building signs, business cards, stationery, brochures, Word/Publisher documents and the like, website, t-shirts, water bottles, and advertising in magazines and newspapers.

A logo that would incorporate the business name - Fit Kidnections

Would also want a logo that could stand alone without the business name

Logo could have activity as well as nutrition representation within the logo

Logo could empahsize the "connection" between kids and exercise & nutrition

Would like an emphasis on the Fit Kid part of Fit Kidnections

I don't have any preconceived ideas about what the logo should look like. I just really want it to capture the attention of kids of all ages and entice kids to want to be at the gym and want to hang out there (I want to transform kids into gym rats). The challenge is to have a logo that is appealing to 8 year olds or 18 year olds. Really want something that pops.

I don't want it to have a representation of a team sport (football, basketball, soccer, etc.)
