Dubai Fitness Challenge brand refresh 2025

A refreshed DFC identity unveiled by Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, at a thank-you gathering for the schools, government entities, partners and gyms behind the first eight editions. The new logo uses brighter colours and dynamic lines, and was revealed alongside the 2025 dates and a calendar that added Dubai Yoga as a closing flagship event.

The brief
The schools, government bodies, partners and gyms that carried Dubai Fitness Challenge through eight editions, and the residents it asks to move daily.
What to borrow
Unveiling a new identity first to the community that built the event turns a logo change into a public thank-you.
