3. brand identity for
eastern venture
Eastern Venture is in the business of organic prod-
ucts and wanted a brand identity that reflected
the purity, health and well-being offered by its
products.
I took lotus as the symbol for the attributes, and
developed a clean, subtle and elegant design and
colour scheme which was implemented in sta-
tionery, coporate documents and a folder.

4. logo for designer boutique
A boutique designing ethnic Indian clothes with a
fusion of modern themes wanted a logo to reflect
this spirit.
The design is inspired by floral patterns commonly
used in Indian embroidery and placed the name
in a rather unconventional frame, with some cus-
tomization of the font.
A simpler version with just the initials IR was also
developed for single colour printing on tags.

5. branding for an it start-up
Brand identity for an IT and web services start-up.
Most logos in this industry tend to be domintaed
by blue colour and futuristic or technical graph-
ics.
I decided to break away from this stereotype - us-
ing warm colours and since the name is long and
explains the business, focussed on typography
with subtle graphics of subtle dots.

6. branding for a construc-
tion group
A family owned group of companies involved in
infrastructure development and construction con-
tracts, required a consolidated identity that unites
all companies in the group.
As they were known by their family name and it
appeared in company names, I used it in the logo
and created design in single colour which made it
easy to apply on vehicles and economical to print
in large quantities.

7. retail branding for food
services
Sodexo required a clear and prominent brand-
ing across almost 50 corporate cafetarias which it
manages in India. The branding needed to blend
with the existing infrastructure of the client on
which the company has no control.
The solution was a design pattern, type style, col-
our scheme, signage with icons and wall panels.
It has already been successfully applied in overa
dozen sites.

a wedding, reflecting the high worth of the prod-
ucts on sale, and the status of the receipients.

13. it services identity & flyer
A part of Sodexo’s Facilities Management Services
is ‘eFacility’ a software that serves as the backbone
of the services. Due to its importance and unique-
ness, the company wanted to give it an identity in
itself - both for the company staff, the users, and
clients, the benefitors.
Sodexo logo and the phrase ‘powered by’ had to
be included to give eFacility a context.
The design encapsulates the three elements neat-
ly, without hampering the integrity and promi-
nence of the Sodexo logo.
The flyer describes the software and its benefits.
