BRAND EXPERIENCE
Our ability to distinguish and draw meaning from both text and images helps us better communicate our brand messaging and core values. Precor designs should communicate through clear text hierarchy, a simple color palette, and straight-forward compositions.
LOGOS & MARKS
The Precor logo is the foundation of our visual brand identity. It visually communicates our approach to fitness. The mark of Precor is referred to as The Ramps. The Ramps may be used as a standalone identifier of the Precor brand but should not replace the inclusion of the full logo.
The logo should only be produced in the color options below. The specific composition of the background will determine which color logo is utilized. Click the asset below to download.

Key pillars of the Precor brand position are our proven expertise, quality of product, quality of our people, and a strong focus upon experience design. This is reflected in the tone of our communications. Our voice in communications is friendly, engaging, approachable, simple to understand, and our claims are supported with evidence. In text, we provide (1) an engaging statement, (2) a benefit for the operator or exerciser (2) a reason to believe why this is true. And we do this, with a little bit of humor, wit, and connection. It’s not only about the text, it’s about how the reader experiences and reacts to the text.
CONTENT EXAMPLES
YOU’RE ALREADY GREAT. PRECOR CAN MAKE YOU EVEN BETTER.
Our No. 1 goal is to help you build on your success and make your club the best it can be. Precor provides a low total cost of ownership, high-quality, low maintenance products that are easy to use, and the best customer service in the industry.
WE PUT IN THE WORK. YOU GET THE RESULTS
Precor means business. Our equipment is competitively priced at the beginning and gets the highest resale value at the end. That means a lower total cost of ownership to help keep your club in the black. It stems from our USA facilities where we have complete control of design and manufacturing resulting in exceptional build quality, quick deliveries, and readily available parts. Precor equipment is made for long hours of use, easy cleaning, and simple maintenance. Should you need service, we have a dedicated phone line where your calls always get top priority. As part of Amer Sports, the world’s largest sporting goods company, we have the resources and capability to go above and beyond to make you happy.
OUR BRAND PERSONALITY
While we have expertise, we are aren’t clinical. We don’t degrade our competition. We are confident, never cocky. We highlight the strong reasons to select Precor over commenting on other brands. We cultivate customer relationships through genuine connection. We are relatable. We are a global company and unapologetically inclusive. We celebrate diversity in all markets. We are aware of the world around us. We understand the role we play in a larger global narrative. We do what’s right and make real attempts to correct our shortcomings. We are smart and but we are life long learners. We are good citizens of this world. We seek out collaboration. We respectfully challenge each other. We are honest. We enjoy what we do. We desire a life without limits.
These values should inform our visual communication of the brand.
TONE + VOICE WITH IMAGERY
Through our visuals, we seek to tell an emotive story of momentum, inclusion, motivation and transformation. Our products are an important part of that story, but just as important are the people who own, use and service them as well as the experience they deliver. In both photography and video, Precor prioritizes demonstrating an aspirational visual cues and genuine emotion over the the artificial. We use images that are visually appealing and thoughtfully styled to help tell a story that is routed in experience. We capture the moments that matter to those we serve.

TONE + VOICE WITH VIDEO
Precor uses video to tell the stories of our people, customers and products. Every video is an opportunity to further our relationship with our target audiences, moving them along to the next marketing and sales touchpoint. The role of video is to compel the audience to take that next step. Click on the video to for a link to download.
TONE + VOICE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

Precor's main typeface families are Gotham and Noto Sans. Gotham is used universally for headlines, subheads and calls to action. A license for print and web fonts can be purchased at the foundry Hoefler & Co. Noto Sans is used for body copy and localization and can be downloaded from Google Fonts. In all Microsoft Office applications, we substitute the Gotham family for Calibri Light in headlines and subheads, then Calibri Book for body copy. The Calibri font family is included in all Microsoft Office applications.

TYPOGRAPHY DICHOTOMY
The H1 Headline is capitalized Gotham Book text, in either Deep Treads or White based on the background. The H1 headline represents the most important message on the page. The sizes of H2 and H3 are both relative to the size of H1.
The H3 Heading is title-case Gotham Book ALL CAPS, in either Deep Treads or White based on the background. The H3 headline is 40% to 100% the size of H1. The H3 Heading introduces a section of copy; it is not a part of the headline.
Calls to actions are capitalized Gotham Bold, in either LED Blue, Forever Green or White based on the background. The call to action should be direct and clear to the user.
The H2 Qualifier is title-case Gotham Book text, in either Graphite or White based on the background. The H2 headline is 40% to 100% the size of H1. The H2 Qualifier is a part of the headline that may be absent when a qualifier is not needed. However, when it is present, it should always be used either immediately above or immediately below the H1 Headline.
Gotham Book is used for general body copy and uses the normal editorial rules for bold, italics and bold italics. Body copy needs to stay between 10pt and 15pt for legibility. For digital usage, Noto Sans is the web font used for all body copy which meets most localization standards.
Gotham Book is used for legal copy and footnotes. Legal copy needs to stay between 7pt and 9pt for legibility. For digital usage, Noto Sans is the web font used for all body copy which meets most localization standards.
DIGITAL ADVERTISING
Because banner ads are often the smallest unit of advertising, H1 text is in capitalized Gotham Book capitals and H2 remains in title case Gotham Book. The sizes of H1 and H2 may be the same.
SELL SHEETS
Embracing the design aesthetics of Precor means simplifying the use of content. The front page of Sell Sheets should look like an advertisement for the product, with an in-facility image that takes up approximately two thirds of the page. A Precor Divider separates the image, which includes a product rendering, a product / category title, overview copy, and a Call to Action.
BRAND PRINT ADS
When minimal text is necessary and the image allows for it, print ads can incorporate a full-page photo with the headline, body copy, Call to Action and logo directly overlayed. This is only recommendated when negative space is sufficient. In the example to the right, notice how the Line Divider adds a touch of color to the surrounding white text.
CORPORATE PRESENTATIONS
Meeting the standards set forth in this style, the Corporate Presentation provides a wide selection of image and layout options to support a variety of topics and themes. The new Corporate Presentation should be used for all current and future presentations. The RFP document uses the same design elements in a print friendly format. In all Microsoft Office applications, we substitute all Gotham Book headline and subhead usage for Calibri Light. Calibri Light is included in all Microsoft Office applications.
