Art Direction & Work

Executed

A harmonious palette was chosen to further the brand narrative. The primary dark shades were complemented by neutrals of ivory and black and secondary tones of brown. These were juxtaposed beautifully with complementary hues of warm rose and poised navy blue. The English Typeface, Visia Pro-Family, was selected to enhance the brand's premium appeal.

For services spanning from digital media to print, ID8 Media ensured a consistent representation of Kown Capital's redefined identity, keeping in mind its rich oriental heritage and forward-thinking approach.
