Harbor City Gymnastics – Rebrand Campaign8
Mark and Anne WeberOwners of Harbor City Gymnastics
Founded in 1994, Harbor City Gymnastics (HCG) is a privately owned and operated physical fitness facility that offers a variety of classes and teams for gymnastics, dance, and fitness. HCG believes every child has the ability to learn and grow to achieve a balanced state of physical and mental wellbeing by mastering the core exercises and skill sets of gymnastics. Compared to all other sports activities, only gymnastics builds strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power and discipline, all at the same time.
Gymnastics also develops strong character, independence, ambition and endurance, which have made gymnasts competitive students in the classroom averaging above other classmates. The results of their gymnastics programs have life long benefits that ultimately prepare them for a healthy fit and bright future.
Brand Research1.1
1.0 Research 9
HCG has not had an official logo or strong focus on brand identity until recently. This year, through volunteers, they were able to launch a new website and new logo. However, they have been limited on using it for much more than a static location on the web to post contact information and class schedules.
The ChallengeHCG has been challenged with finding time and affordable ways to keep their business growing. This campaign is specfically designed to overcome these challenges offering all the tools and resources to get HCG up to speed and show their competitors why they deserve to be number one in their market.
Harbor City Gymnastics – Rebrand Campaign10
Recent TrendsThe worldwide web has given society open access to an abundance of available knowledge about the latest health issues, dieting, and the growing importance of nurturing your mind, body and spirit to achieve total wellbeing.
Changes in healthcare are influencing families to start adopting a more proactive approach to healthcare by focusing on living healthier lifestyles.
Working households share concerns about keeping their children active and out of trouble. It is often a challenge for parents to find valuable after school activities that supports mental and physical health and fitness as well as achieving academic success.
Today’s 10 year olds are the first generation expected to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. – http://designedtomove.org
In less than two generations, physical activity has dropped by 32% in the U.S. – http://designedtomove.org
These inactive kids score up to 40 percent lower on achievement tests than their active friends. – http://designedtomove.org

Through an extensive media plan, an advertising campaign will be created to bring HCG to a new heightened level of awareness in order to be better positioned to offer benefits that are aligned with the needs of their consumers in today’s market.
Focusing on kids before the age of 10 could change the trajectory for the next generation. – http://designedtomove.org
The science is clear. The debate is over. Urgent priority must be given to dramatically increase the world’s commitment to physical activity. – http://designedtomove.org

Design Research1.1The Competitive Survey SWOT analysis identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. HCG has many very important strengths including reputable coaches, great reputation overall, strong competitive track record, and almost 20 years in business. Every business has weaknesses and this campaign will actively address these in order to increase memberships and annual sales.
HCG has some great opportunities. With this campaign, they will be positioned to take full advantage of them. In 2007 there was a baby boom. The ideal age for new members is between the ages of 2-6 years old. This baby boom just hit that ideal age and with social media networking it is even easier to target this audience. Health awareness is up, fitness trends are on the rise, the 2012 Olympics inspired the world with the US Gymnastics team winning Gold! Some threats are the current state of the economy, the flux of the local job market causing families to move or adjust incomes while in transition between jobs. The lifelong benefits of gymnastics are often misunderstood or down played and the local gyms have had a longer web presence.With this research, this campaign has been specially designed to overcome the weaknesses, combat the threats, and take full advantage of the great opportunities showcasing all of HCG’s strengths!

A great way to get a visual feel for any concept is to piece together a collage of images to create a moodboard. Each image conveys an emotion that ties to the brand’s key tenets. All together, this gives you a very broad view of all the creative possibilities. These images were gathered, purely for inspiration only, using http://taggalaxy.com/.

Logo Development2.3
Designing the new HCG logo was all about finding the simplest way to make a memorable statement that really represents the brand’s key tenets: inspiring, ambitious, and fun-loving. The other important factor was functionality. This logo needed to easily transfer to all mediums including print, web, digital media, products and apparel.

Brandmark + Logotype = LogoClear space around the logo allows it to stand out where ever it is. In order to maintain a comfortable amount of clear space around the logo, use the height of the “G” in GYMNASTICS. The full logo, including the brandmark and logotype, should be used at all times where appropriate room is available. It must be legible and no smaller than 1” wide when vertical, and 2” wide when horizontal. For uniforms and merchandise, the brandmark icon is used instead. Use the “G” in the icon to measure clear space around the brandmark icon.

Spotlight VideoDesigning multimedia videos can be done many different ways. For this series, all motion graphics deal with still photograpy stylized with high contrast on a white background. Music and after effects add creative transitions between scenes.
Be sure to storyboard your concepts and include a consistent theme of logo usage, photography, HCG colors and typography. Appropriate music should be selected to compliment the visuals and should also be consistent with the theme of this series set by the first series video launched or consistent to a new theme still based on the brand’s essence and look and feel. Music should always have a positive upbeat and happy energetic vibe that resembles the HCG environment.
These videos are designed for HCG’s YouTube channel and need to follow the standard output requirements.
Include the following key elements:
Engaging introduction that gets the attention of your target audience:“What are you doing after school?”
Clean and focused photography that conveys the intended message.
Clear take away message:“Empowering today’s youth to be fit for life!”
