Style Guidelines
Table of Contents
IMPOSSIBLE is an international brand with a strong identity. We therefore ask that whenever you use or refer to the IMPOSSIBLE brand, you follow the style guidelines outlined below. Thank you for your cooperation.
Brand Overview
IMPOSSIBLE is a brand that aims to get people to push beyond their limits and to do the impossible. It is not for everyone; it is for people who are prepared to live on the edge of what’s possible because they know that it’s at the edges of the impossible that the great stories take place.
IMPOSSIBLE does not tolerate excuses. It does not sugarcoat the truth. It is not about motivation. It is about taking action, particularly in the areas of fitness, business, and gritness.
Fitness: When you learn to train your body, you learn to train your mind.
Business: Creating your own business in the fastest way to creating freedom for yourself.
Gritness: To do the impossible you need a strong mental outlook and to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
