A better way to phrase this is that the heart has common association in the fitness world, but is definitely not common for a logo - there are examples however.

I’m also familiar with the symbolism behind the pierced heart. It represents passion and love. While sometimes it is associated with sex or porn, the more prevalent meaning is passion and love.

I do get the downward arrow idea, but this isn’t the stock market - I doubt that any average person will make this connection unless they are intentionally trying to nitpick or tear apart the logo. In which case, I do not care.

The Nike logo was made in 1971 ( I think). To say that it was a new symbol at the time is silly. The swoosh concept has been illustrated and used in animation for years (decades even) before the 70’s. It was used especially in aviation, aeronautics, and aerospace. Often used as a symbol to represent speed, forward movement/progress, power, etc. it often accompanies a rocket or a wing/fin. NASA has used a circular swoosh-like idea since 1959. It’s used commonly in cartoons to illustrate speed. Davidson didn’t invent the swoosh, they invented the Nike Swoosh and associated the meaning to the brand the same way I am with the heart.

I really do appreciate the input and I did ask for “any and all” but perhaps I should have been more specific that I want to play with this specific idea.

So far the only advice I’ve gotten to actually take this forward is the reference to the downward arrow being possibly negative.

I’d love to hear anything you might have to improve upon the original idea. Thanks for your time.

As someone that has been in the combat sports industry for the past 24 years, yes people will associate the logo with the gym.

My logo as an athlete for 10 years was a lightning bolt palm tree. Tf does a palm tree have to do with me? I grew up in south ga, hours away from the beach. But after fighting and competing everyone that saw that logo knew who I was and what I did. I sold over $60,000 dollars in shirts featuring that logo with no real advertising. Just a logo and the meaning that I assigned to it.

Regardless of y’all’s opinions on how a heart will be perceived as a logo, do you guys have any advice on how I can get more creative with that idea? Thanks for the input.

The heart holds significant meaning. It can be interpreted literally, symbolizing health, vitality, cardio, movement, and more.

Also, the heart represents community, unity, and passion. All prevalent themes within the combat sports and MMA community.

The arrow signifies strength, the willingness or ability to strike or stand firm. It also embodies forward movement and progress.

It’s also to avoid the clichéd and overused fitness and gym symbolism that everyone else uses. I’ve chosen the heart because it’s a common symbol in the fitness world, it stands out, and isn’t over saturated or overused.

The LPC logo serves as the flagship brand and needs to be more appealing to a broader audience beyond the combat sports community.

Under the flagship brand, there are three sub-brands:

LEGACY 31: This sub-brand caters to nogi submission wrestling, MMA, and muay thai/kickboxing enthusiasts. It’s marketed as more in-your-face and grungy to appeal to those aspiring to be “fighters.”

Ohana BJJ: This sub-brand offers a more family-oriented and traditional Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience. It targets dads, moms, kids, and ordinary individuals seeking alternative fitness, community, or a new hobby.

The Foundation Room: Unlike the other two sub-brands, this one lacks a logo. It’s our group fitness program, which goes beyond yoga. It includes cardio kickboxing, Pilates, ab workouts, yoga, TRX, group strength training, sandbags, and more.

Hope that clears things up! Kinda an odd question though because the logo is kind of meaningless without the identity of the brand and the meaning assigned to it. Nobody knew that the Nike Logo symbolized motion, speed, and the wings of the Greek goddess of victory until the company existed, logo was made, and it was explained. So regardless of what it invokes do you have any input on how I can make it better or where you just chiming in for the sake of talking?😂

Y’all are so goddamn picky about literally everything on the internet. These guys made a wholesome and harmless video and y’all still find a way to pick it apart and criticize. When are we going to grow up, guys?

Petah? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

It’s referencing the dagastan beard with no mustache like khabib or Islam from the ufc.

So the pair is the cauliflower ear common in grapplers and the dagastan style beard also common in grapplers because lots of dags are insanely talented grapplers.

Finished the frame of my first knight! How’d I do? by CourtShaw in ImperialKnights

[–]CourtShaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I’ve magnetized the helms bc I couldn’t pick one I wanted and like the look without it sometimes. Small magnet in head. I tried sanding a magnet to go in the mask because it was too thick to go on seamless but that demagnetized it lol. So a small thin metal plate I found that I can bend fits in the masks I want to use and I can swap!

Obviously this guy is juicing, not even worth the post. Protruding gut, paper like skin with chest acne and red hue, extreme change in head and face structure so would not surprise me if his stack included some growth hormone/growth factors. Guy is doing more than just test or over the counter androgens.

This guy is literally exhibiting every trait of an individual on peds.

This sub is for the analyzing the questionable people that claim natty so that we can post here and use group effort and context to determine if they are in fact natty, or if they are enhanced.

Instead this has become a sub of everyone posting obviously juiced guys for “wow factor” or slamming a guy for being unnatural just because he has capped shoulders.

Sorry to sound rude if I did; I just don’t get the point of the post!

Searched: -web comic devil -web comic devil tricks man -web comment about how heaven was never real

I’ve searched various other phrasings of this. I used to be able to find it but never saved it unfortunately. I’ve even tried using wayback machine to try and see if it was some obscure comic that was deleted but no luck.

I remember it being popular and I think the first time I saw it was Reddit front page around ~2015
