I need a logo for a fitness coaching company

I am seeking a skilled graphic designer to conceptualize and create a minimalist yet impactful logo for an emerging personal training business. The company, called "The Gym Dad", caters to male clients aged 25 and over with an interest in fitness and strength training.

The logo should convey a sense of authority and expertise through its design elements, representing the owner's professional experience as a personal trainer and coach. Incorporating elements such as a weight plate or kettlebell in a subtle, abstract manner could help communicate the business's focus on weight training and functional exercise routines. However, creativity and impact should take precedence over literal representation.

While the business name implies a focus on fathers, the target demographic extends well beyond just dads. The logo therefore needs adesign identity that appeals to men across different age groups and life stages. Minimalism, simplicity and visual impact will be key to ensure legibility and versatility across a variety of branding applications both online and in print.

The selected designer should have a proven portfolio of logo designs for fitness, health or sport related companies. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud software is essential. A sense of visual style and brand strategy is also important as the logo will serve as a foundational element of the company's overall brand identity system going forward. I welcome fresh concepts and am open to discussions on refining ideas. Please feel free to submit your interest
