The Good Core is a Pilates studio, and its name already holds the idea: two O’s side by side in GOOD, the way a core holds the body together. The studio drew its logo in three rounds, each starting from those two letters — first joined into an infinity sign, finally interlocked as a pair of serif capitals.

  2. Round twoJanuary 2024 · a board of directions
  3. Round threeJanuary 2024 · the interlocked serif

01Round one · 2023

Two o’s,
drawn as one infinity.

The first round set goodcore as one word in a rounded lowercase sans, its oo drawn as a single lime infinity sign and core left in white. The same stroke made a g monogram, and the infinity sign repeated into a pattern. The boards carried the line “Linking Power to Your Core.”

02Round two · 2024

Every direction
on one board.

Before the last round the studio laid the directions out on one board so they could be compared at a glance: a g broken in two with a square, a g with a dot, the infinity in capitals, a serif good with a star, a blocky 1GC, and round one’s goodcore.

03Round three · 2024

A serif,
the O’s still linked.

The last file sets THE GOOD CORE in sharp serif capitals. The two O’s of GOOD overlap like two links of a chain; THE and CORE sit small on either side and the weight falls in the middle. On black, GOOD turns lime, beside a band of the same colour.

Scope
Logo design, three rounds · Wordmarks & monograms · Infinity pattern · Presentation boards

Every wordmark, monogram and the pattern come from the studio’s five design files of 2023–2024, re-exported from the original vectors and laid out afresh for this page. The archive does not record which version the client finally adopted, so the three rounds are shown in order. The original boards’ apparel, bottle and phone mockups and photographs of people came from stock libraries and are not shown.
