Fuse the words LIFT and LIFE into an image. LIFT means the weights, plates, the weight lifting community, achieving goals, and successes. I want to encompass that LIFTING influences your LIFE so much. LIFTING enhances your LIFE and I want this image to represent that. Here is the text logo for the unity of the words, LIFT and LIFE, but I want YOU to create an image logo
