/ Overview
Gibson helped a Houston Pilates and sauna studio translate a name, location, and founder vision into a brand identity, signage direction, and responsive website.
/ Project Details
Name:Ritual
Client:Ritual
Industries:Boutique fitness / wellness
Date:Studio launch
Role:Brand and digital design partner
/ Challenge
The owners had a name, location, and strong sense of what Ritual should feel like, but needed help turning that idea into a visual identity that could guide signage, color decisions, marketing materials, and the website.Worked directly with the studio owners to translate their name, location, and vision into tangible brand options and a launch-ready website.
/ Provided Services
Brand discovery
Translated the owners' desired studio feeling into concrete brand directions.
Logo exploration
Explored and refined logo options that could work across signage, marketing, and digital touchpoints.
Visual identity
Connected the physical studio presence with a responsive website and booking path.
/ Solution
Gibson worked with the owners to understand the desired feeling, sketched identity directions, refined logo options, and presented choices they could react to and iterate from. Once the selected direction became the core mark, Gibson designed the responsive website and connected it to the studio's booking and payment platform.The selected identity shaped Ritual's main sign, marketing materials, and website presence, giving the studio a cohesive brand foundation and a clear digital path for the community to learn about the practice and book.
/ Constraints
Brick-and-mortar build in progress
The brand work needed to move quickly enough to inform physical studio decisions before the buildout was complete.
Founder vision not yet visualized
The owners had a clear feeling in mind, but needed visual options they could evaluate, choose from, and refine.
Signage and interior color decisions tied to brand direction
Logo, color, signage, and web decisions had to work together as one studio identity.
