THT + water = castle gym pool
In other words, you could drop the top half and work on the bottom half.

Hi Clarke, I can see where you taking this logo mark, but not quite there yet.
Could you place a more accurate Castle roof?
Type in Google: "castle logo" or something suitable to get inspiration.
I would also replace the window 'cross', it looks medieval like and may be associated with religion.

I would focus primarily on the words 'Castle & Gym' to form strong mark for the logo. The pool part is a bit trickier, and a bit unnecessary imo. Think of the words 'Pool', 'Castle' and 'Gym' - 'Pool' just seems like the odd one out. Plus most reputable gyms nowadays come with a pool anyway, so it's not like its a USP.

Keep it black and white for now. A few points from me;
Can you drop the plus symbol and bring the other two elements together perhaps? I'm almost seeing the distinctive top of a castle turret in the 'weight' mark, and combining that with the water, you could form a 'moat'
Or can the weights look more like a castle with the water forming the moat? Then you have castle, gym AND pool covered
- It has a very tall and awkward footprint
- The plus symbol has flaired edges which makes it not look like part of an equation
- Not a fan of the lowercase 'C' and use of Helvetica here as it lacks and feeling or style.
- t's quite literal – GYM + POOL. For me, "Castle" should be the focus. It's a distinctive name for a gym/fitness centre.

Paul, your the first one to pick up on the castle turret that is left behind with the Dumbbells , plus sign and the pool arranged in this way. Will revise chosen typeface. Plus/and sign also makes the window from which archers would defend the castle.
