Brand Designer Needed to Refine Logo & Create Social Media Assets (Early-Stage Startup)

I’m the founder of ELYV8 (pronounced “Elevate”), a fitness-meets-travel startup connecting travelers with vetted personal trainers around the world. I’m looking for a skilled brand designer to help refine my logo and create a small set of cohesive social media assets. I’ve already worked with a designer and explored multiple directions, but the logo still doesn’t feel quite right. I’ve also tried refining it myself, but I want an experienced designer’s eye to help land the final direction. This project is ideal for someone who: • Enjoys refining and elevating existing concepts • Thinks strategically about brand, typography, and clarity, not just visuals • Is comfortable giving honest feedback and proposing strong alternatives What I need help with: • Refinement or redesign of the ELYV8 logo • Name is intentionally spelled ELYV8 and should clearly read as “Elevate” • Clean, modern, premium feel (fitness × travel) • Typography matters more than heavy illustration • Guidance on logo usage (spacing, sizing, light/dark backgrounds) • Creation of social media assets, such as: • 2–4 post templates (launch / announcement / brand quote) • Optional: Story templates if time allows What I already have: • Existing logo and files (versions I’m not completely happy with) – example attached • Clear brand direction and target audience • Color preferences and early brand exploration What I’m looking for in a designer: • Strong logo and brand identity portfolio • Excellent typography skills • Experience with consumer brands, startups, or fitness / travel brands is a plus • Comfortable iterating and explaining design decisions • Clear communicator Deliverables: • Final logo (SVG, PNG, JPG) • Black / white / color variations • Social media asset templates (editable if possible) • Optional mini brand guide (very lightweight is fine) How to apply – Please include: 1. A link to your portfolio (logo work required) 2. 1–2 sentences on how you approach refining an existing brand vs starting from scratch 3. Fee requested (fixed price for the deliverables above) 4. (Optional) Any experience with fitness or travel brands There is potential for ongoing work if we’re a strong fit. Apply tot his job
