Challenges
The Challenge
Kayal Supermarket, a retail chain focused on everyday essentials, wanted a logo that resonated with their brand’s Tamil heritage and represented their diverse product offerings. Their challenge was to create a visually appealing logo that combined cultural authenticity with modern retail aesthetics while making the brand name memorable.
Client’s Goal
To craft a unique and meaningful logo that connects emotionally with their customers and reflects their vision of being a trusted, everyday brand in the community.
Solutions
Our Approach
We designed a logo that creatively integrates the Tamil word Kayal, meaning eye—a metaphor for vision and insight. We used earthy tones to convey trust, freshness, and connection to nature, with a solid color palette to evoke a sense of reliability and strength. The letterforms were enhanced with subtle eyelash-like elements, symbolizing clarity and vision while emphasizing the Tamil cultural roots.
Key Deliverables
- Textual Integration: The Kayal wordmark was crafted in a contemporary style, blending Tamil typography with modern design sensibilities.
- Iconic Elements: The eyelash-like curves subtly represent the eye while also conveying inclusivity and attention to detail, embodying the essence of a supermarket where every product matters.
- Color Palette: Earthy hues combined with a solid accent color to deliver a vibrant yet grounded brand identity, resonating with both tradition and modernity.
Execution
Process & Methodology
- Research & Concept Development: We began with an in-depth understanding of the supermarket’s vision, values, and target audience. We explored traditional Tamil elements and retail branding trends to ensure relevance and uniqueness.
- Initial Drafts: Six initial logo concepts were presented, each featuring different integrations of the eye element, product representation, and brand name styling.
- Revisions & Refinements: After client feedback, we refined two primary concepts by enhancing the eyelash element, balancing it with the text, and adjusting the color schemes to ensure the logo stood out across various applications.
- Final Design: The chosen logo featured a clean, modern wordmark with eye-inspired curves and earthy colors, creating a perfect blend of cultural identity and contemporary retail appeal.
Results & Impact
Outcome
The Kayal Supermarket logo successfully captured the brand’s core identity, creating a visual connection with their Tamil roots and appealing to a broad customer base. The new logo has helped elevate brand recognition and distinguish Kayal in the competitive retail market.
