INSPIRATION
An abstract interpretation of movement, colors and textures of the Chao Phraya river. The design concept intends to showcase Fitness First brand with an increased level of materiality and modern forms combined with elements that symbolize movement and energy providing the users a dynamic and edgy environment. We have blended an earthy color palette with vibrant accents that provides the existing brand an uplift with a more high-end positioning for the future.
