VISUAL IDENTITY SYSTEM

Boldfit was doing ₹300 crore in revenue through a dozen different agencies. No two of them were building the same brand.

A 300-crore fitness brand working with multiple agencies, partners, and vendors needed one visual system every single one of them could follow, logo to Amazon ads. Here's the identity system we built to make that possible.

CHALLENGE

No shared visual system, meaning every shoot, ad, and edit interpreted ‘Boldfit’ differently depending on who was behind it.

TIMELINE

A full-fledged, two-and-a-half month engagement to build a system precise enough for teams the brand didn't even directly manage.

Pain Point

At ₹300 crore, the problem was never output. It was that a dozen vendors were all building a different version of the same brand.

Boldfit wasn't short on creative volume. Multiple agencies, partners, and vendors were all producing content at once, shoots, ads, marketplace creative, all of it. The problem was that none of them were producing the same brand. Without a shared, documented system covering everything from the logo and color palette to how a shoot was lit and how an Amazon ad used text overlays, every touchpoint reflected whoever happened to be holding the camera or the design file that week, not a consistent Boldfit. At that scale, inconsistency isn't a small paper cut. It's dozens of touchpoints a day quietly working against each other instead of building one recognisable brand.

“Dozens of vendors, all interpreting the same brand differently, is a bigger risk at ₹300 crore than it ever was at zero.”

Execution

The team behind it

Brand strategists and identity designers ran the full two-and-a-half month build, working through each layer of the system in sequence.

The team behind it

Brand strategists and identity designers ran the full two-and-a-half month build, working through each layer of the system in sequence.

We built the logo, then defined three disciplined core colours alongside a secondary palette. The system was deliberately limited so vendors weren’t left improvising with an open-ended palette.

We built distinct indoor and outdoor shoot systems, covering model selection, poses, locations, studio backgrounds, colour tones, and the specific editing and grading process for each setting.

We defined exactly how ads should be designed, down to typography rules, ensuring performance creative stayed aligned with the wider brand identity.

We extended the design system into Amazon-specific creative, defining how supers and text overlays should be used so the marketplace presence followed the same brand rules.

01

Built the logo and locked a disciplined 3-color core palette, plus secondary.

An open-ended palette invites a dozen different interpretations. We limited the core system to three colors, with a defined secondary palette, so every vendor worked from the same constraint instead of their own judgment call.

03

Built a full outdoor shoot system: locations, look-and-feel, color tones, grading.

Outdoor shoots needed their own rules, not a copy of the indoor system. We built a dedicated look-and-feel board covering locations, models, color tones, and grading specific to outdoor production.

02

Documented a complete indoor shoot system: models, poses, studio, color grading.

Indoor shoots have their own variables. We documented model selection, posing direction, studio background, and the full color grading process, removing guesswork from every indoor production.

What we did

05

Built the logo and locked a disciplined 3-color core palette, plus secondary.

Marketplace ad formats are often treated as a lower-effort afterthought. We built out a specific system for Amazon ad design, including supers, so the brand stayed consistent even in its most format-constrained channel.

04

Defined the ad design system, including typography rules.

Performance creative shouldn't look like it came from a different brand than the shoots. We built a documented ad design system, including how typography should be used, so ads matched the same visual language as everything else.

A documented system that works even for vendors who've never worked with Boldfit before

Indoor and outdoor production finally treated as two distinct systems, not one set of rules stretched across both

Ads Need Documented Rigor

The System Should Be Followable

The real test of a visual identity system is whether a stranger can follow it. If a vendor who’s never met you still gets it right, the system works.
