Creating a New Style of Fitness Brand
from a Medical and Sports Dual Approach
LIGARE is one of few fitness brands in Japan providing sports medicine based exercise menus staffed by those with both a National Medical Practiotioners Qualification and a Personal Trainer Qualification. Medical fitness—an integration between medicine and fitness—is a new fitness style in the spotlight parallel with the recent rise in health consciousness. For LIGARE to reach a wider audience, we created a holistic brand from the creative strategy to brand identity, catchphrase, and website.

Visualizing the Core Potential to
Maximize Brand Value
A fresh experience comes with the integration of medicine and fitness, core elements of the brand and market differentiation. We thought that articulating this benefit directly connects to brand value maximization. For this reason, we strongly connected the brand with medical fitness in the creative strategy.

Creating a Memorable Brand Symbol
Representing
A New Fitness Style
We developed a memorable brand symbol that holistically represents medicine and fitness. It stands as a symbol mark that portrays a new style overlaying the principles of medicine and fitness.

Subconsciously Illustrating Two Concepts
Medicine symbolized by red and fitness symbolized by blue. The visual combination of two colors subconsciously communicates the combination of two concepts.
Storytelling Through a Layout Evocative of Medicine
By duplicating the brand’s initial, “L”, into a cross, we achieved a design evocative of medicine. At the same time, this is representative of the connection+ (plus) between medicine and fitness.

Effectively Promoting Brand Value
At Various Touchpoints
While taking advantage of each touchpoint’s characteristics from website to leaflet, we created promotions that effectively communicate brand value. These were intentionally designed for users to easily understand the brand ideology and benefits.

The website is built to communicate the balance between the visual beauty of the brand and effortless content comprehension.

By introducing medical fitness specific knowledge, users relate it to doctor endorsement and we successfully differentiate the brand from generic fitness.

We created illustrative icons that articulate characteristics of the brand to create seamless communication between user and brand.
