RKN Brand Identity

“The store's architecture, redrawn as a wordmark.”

“The store's architecture, redrawn as a wordmark.”

The RKN logo embossed in glossy black-on-black, its mirrored Latin-and-Arabic wordmark catching the light.

Project Overview

RKN was a premium concept fashion store in Doha, carrying high-end and streetwear labels under one roof. The brief was a complete brand identity — logo, supporting graphics, typography, color palette, and a full applications system. The logo was derived from the geometry of the store itself: straight lines, diagonals, perfect symmetry.

This case study was included to show the design discipline underneath the campaign work.

RKN's design rationale: store interior shots with highlighted architectural lines, beside the geometric logo drawn from the same straight-line, diagonal grid.
The RKN wordmark in silver foil, embossed on layered matte-black card, catching the light at an angle.
The RKN brand system: the geometric logo with its "infinite lines" supporting graphic, the Gravity and Gulf typefaces in English and Arabic, and a black-to-white colour palette.
The RKN identity applied across a business card, stationery, a shopping bag, a greeting card, an e-mail signature, and an illuminated storefront sign.
