01 — Brand

The operating system for fitness.
Built for the people who run it.

Binectics is a tool first, a brand second. The identity is restrained on purpose: it lets the people on the platform — coaches, gym owners, dietitians, members — be the loudest thing in the room. The brand stays out of the way.

02

The mark

Two concentric arcs, both opening forward. The pairing reads as the two sides of the marketplace — the people who train and the people they train; the inner arc a beat ahead of the outer, suggesting kinetics. From a distance it carries the silhouette of a B; up close it's a system, not a letter.

Construction

Built on a 48‑unit grid. The outer arc spans 36u with a 5u stroke; the inner arc spans 16u with the same stroke weight, intentionally offset two units to the right of center. The shared stroke weight keeps the mark feeling honest at any size from 16px to a building.

Outer arc — the platform

Radius 18, opens right at 270°. The container; the marketplace; the system.

Inner arc — the practitioner

Radius 8, shifted +2u toward the spine. The individual coach inside the system, a beat ahead.

Composite — Binectics

Both arcs at full opacity. Minimum clear space equals the inner arc radius on all sides.

04

Wordmark

Geist Medium with optical tracking at −5%. The lowercase ‘i’s tighten visually against the surrounding letterforms, which we accept — never patch with manual kerning. The wordmark is set in one weight only; do not embolden.

Color

A disciplined neutral system with one signal color. Role accents (gym / trainer / dietitian) share matched chroma and lightness so a dashboard showing all three feels like one product, not three. Semantic colors are reserved strictly for their meaning — never decorative.

Typography

Geist for everything: display, body, UI. Geist Mono for numerals in tables, code, and operational chrome — tabular figures by default. One serif moment: Instrument Serif italic, reserved for marketing emphasis and never used in product chrome.

The dashboard is calm because the work isn't. Numbers stack, motion is restrained, and the only thing that asks for attention is the one thing that actually needs it.

In the world

The identity flexes across product surfaces, signage, merchandise, and printed collateral without changing form. Use the mark alone where space is tight; pair with the wordmark in any context that benefits from naming.

Voice

Plain, useful, slightly dry. The voice respects the reader's time. Numbers carry the story; adjectives carry the weight. We don't celebrate, we report — except in the one place a celebration is earned: a successful check‑in.
Plain over clever

Specific over hedged

Specificity is trust. Hedging is filler.
