For Release: July 10, 2025

CALIFORNIA—GymCastic unveiled the first major logo redesign since launching in 2012. 

“When I hit record for the first episode of GymCastic over a decade ago it was out of pure passion,” said Jessica O’Beirne, founder of GymCastic. “I love the original logo made by Daniel Yanagi at Lakugaki. It worked great all these years and has become a recognizable symbol within the gymnastics community and beyond. We have big things planned for the future and we want a new design to reflect our growth.”

GymCastic worked with seasoned artist and graphic designer Victoria Fernandez to modernize the design, retain the legacy while also providing multimedia flexibility to serve future ambitions.

“GymCastic has given so much to the gymnastics community over the years. Collaborating with them felt natural. As both a fan and a designer, I couldn’t imagine a better fit. Together, we saw incredible potential for growth, and I’m excited to help bring that vision to life,” said Fernandez.

The circular design, microphone and gymnast silhouettes have all been updated and rebalanced. A new, custom-designed typeface has been added with subtle touches to reflect the consequential news organization we’ve become while retaining all the whimsy and flair that are staples of the show’s tone. The terminals at the end of several characters, including on the G, C, A and S include a rounded heel with toe point. The tittle above the I now includes a little sparkle (because everything is better with some sparkle).

The rethinking and rebalancing of the logo allows it to be flexible in its presentation. New color schemes can be applied across the entire design, such as these pride and metallic gold logos

At the end of the day the sport of gymnastics is dynamic and fun and we want our logo to encompass all of those things.”
