The brand

A visual identity of strength, resilience and high performance, for athletes who take both the physical and mental sides of training seriously.

The gorilla

The central gorilla conveys strength, power and resilience. Its angular, geometric drawing gives the brand a modern, edgy feel.

Tagline

Embrace the animal, embrace the man. Primal instinct and human discipline together, physical strength with mental balance.

The emblem

A circle around the gorilla, the tagline and the name, for unity, wholeness and continuous improvement.
