The tension
EMS20 brings Germany’s wireless Electro Muscle Stimulation training to India: one 20-minute session, twice a week.
It’s new, it sounds technical and it isn’t cheap, priced around Rs.2000 a session.
The brand had to feel as precise as the technology without scaring off everyday people who just want to get fitter.
Logo versions
This was the most challenging part of the project. Many versions were made, and every round needed a lot of back and forth with the client to understand what she was really picturing.
Each version taught me something about her taste, even the ones that didn’t make it.
The custom logotype
I then built a custom word mark with clear spacing considerations and refined it several times to modify the angles. After those iterations, my client finally liked it.
It worked really well for the brand they wanted to build, so I went on to design its playbook, the rules that keep it consistent everywhere.
The idea
The name already says it: EMS is the science, 20 is the minutes. I built the identity around forward motion, with an E made of three stacked bars that lean ahead.
Building the world
A custom geometric word mark, a compact E for app icons and suit labels, a strict black and white palette with graphite and steel, and type that feels precise and modern technology.

Word Mark
EMS + 20: the science and the minutes

Letter Mark
Three forward-leaning bars. Momentum in its smallest form.
Colour Palette
Black and white first. Graphite and steel only for depth.
Space Grotesk
Neue Montreal
Type & voice
Space Grotesk for the display, Neue Montreal for body text.
60+ logo rounds
Over 60 logo revisions with a real client, then rolled out across touchpoints such as cards, uniforms, studio signage, social and an app icon.

The brand playbook
Logo rules and misuse, clear space, placement on every format, colour and type hierarchy, so any new studio of EMS20 can stay on brand easily.
