Death.
It's inevitable and looming.
From "The Book of Life,"

"For centuries, artists produced ‘memento mori’, works of art that would remind their viewers of death and usually featured a skull or an hourglass.

The point of these works wasn’t to make people despair, but to help them use the thought of death to focus on the real priorities. Vivid reminders of mortality and the transient nature of life put our prosaic obsessions into question. When measured against the finality of death, the true insignificance of some of our worries is emphasized and we’re given an opportunity to feel a little braver about what we really want and feel."

This explains our new logo. It's a memento mori incorporating CCCF in the eyes and nose. To remind all of us that life is fleeting and that we should embrace those challenges that we may be afraid of. Whether they be here in the gym, or out in the world.

No one is safe. So you might as well take those chances on greatness!
