The Dope* Process

Discovery and Briefing: Uncovering Brand Essence

During our insightful discovery calls and briefings, we delved into the core aspects of UNIK's brand identity.

We explored the re-brand purpose, the visionary brand outlook, its market positioning, consumer and competitor landscape.

Brand Evolution: Reinventing UNIK's Visual Identity

We recognized the strategic need to redesign UNIK's existing brand logo, which comprised the simple logo typeface in interchangeable blue or yellow colors.

Our goal was to make it more unapologetically prominent and symbolic, signaling confidence in UNIK's industry leadership and enhancing brand perception among consumers and competitors alike.

Conceptualization and Symbolism: The Rise of the UNIK Lion

Through word mapping, we identified core brand traits: trustworthiness, leadership, problem-solving, solution orientation, and vision. 

This exercise led to the emergence of a powerful symbol: the Lion. 

As I delved into visual research, ideation, and sketches, the lion stood out as a representation of strength, wisdom, and leadership - qualities synonymous with the UNIK brand's identity in the power industry.

Its abstract mane subtly hints at electricity, symbolizing the power and energy built-in to UNIK's products and services.

Inspired by bold line art, the new brand logo unikly fuses the lion with elements of a shield, the sun, and electricity or power, conveying dynamism, minimalism, and metaphorical depth.

Embracing New Beginnings: The Sun's Radiance

Behind the lion, a row of semi-circle sunrays symbolizes new opportunities for UNIK. Challenges may arise, but each day holds potential for growth and progress. 

Shielding Trust and Longevity

Unified by a shield, a timeless symbol of trust and protection, UNIK's brand identity reflects its commitment to security and longevity.

It stands as a legacy, securing the brand's future and the interests of its stakeholders.

Embracing Minimalism: The Power of Typeface

To enhance the brandmark's symbolism, I selected a minimalist sans serif bold typeface.

This decision reinforces our visual metaphor, exuding strength, and modernity while staying true to UNIK's essence.

Vibrant Color Palette: Redefining Tradition

We're shifting away from the usual corporate colors and diving into a vibrant mix of red and yellow. 

These new brand colors reflect UNIK's passion and energy, aligning perfectly with its visionary mission in the battery and automation systems realm.

Bejoy Peter

VisionKraft Media x UNIK
Brand Strategist for UNIK

Agility, business sense and great design is what makes Rajesh our go-to professional when it comes to building a brand.

"When a seasoned client of ours (Manufacturer of Industrial Grade Batteries) decided to change their product generation, rebranding was a given. Hence the entire exercise had to start from scratch, yet stay aligned to their story of 50 years.

Me & my team, as Industrial Marketers, were tasked with onboarding a designer who could render the same. We knew this needs a designer who is also a Branding expert, a story teller and hailed from the real business side. We looked no further than Rajesh.

Rajesh struck chords with our client well within his first alignment meeting and resonated with the purpose of this exercise- that is to manifest the overall valuation of the business by adding equity to the existing brand value. The designs sent by Rajesh were a match at pretty much its first rendition and the finalisation took no more than 2 weeks. The delivery was spot-on which included their brand manual, the new brand philosophy documentation, go-to-market and product packaging as much. 

Rajesh has been our go-to professional for over 2 working decades, as we continue to weave many a business success stories as a team."
