- QUA
We were approached to develop a premium brand of bottled water. An extensive proposal was put together along with recommendations for the name of the brand. The name ‘Qua’ is derived from Aqua, meaning water. A number of design directions were explored, inspired by water in all its forms.

- faering capital
A young private equity fund that proposes to manage old money needs a fresh look that stands out from the pack. We proposed the name “Faering Capital”. A faering is a Nordic boat used for scouting purposes. Red is bold, dependable and unconventional, and it stands out from the sea of blue logos that are a staple in finance.

- tote
With sprawling al fresco dining, an exclusive bar and restaurant and a unique and versatile event space, Tote presented tremendous opportunities to explore its location within the historic Mahalaxmi Race Course. The logo draws from the building’s original function as the Totalisator office and combines it with a sense of contemporary urban luxury.

- stanley
A little story with a big heart. No one really knows why Stanley never brings his "dabba" or tiffin to school for lunch. We wanted to communicate how people are intrinsically connected, and in the film, food plays a major part in bringing people together. The logo is rounded and jovial–the "dabba" encourages you to share and look at the lighter side of life.

- animania
A show and collection on the Sacred Animals of India interpreted by graphic artists from across the globe. The aim was to re awaken our love for animals by reminding people how they were revered and protected in ancient India. Instead of referencing the historicity of the subject, we chose to play on the whimsical side that animals bring out in all of us.

Re: Design Temple
very good work especially with animania and the animal face elements to the logotype..where as the tote branding seems okey..the desciption seemed to give a vast areato explore but in the end its the client and his taste..

Re: Design Temple
very neat work,i liked the tote one and the stanle ka dabba logo type. using circle for the 'dabba' n the color used in logotype makes it really playful.

Re: Design Temple
i dont know how much relativity is there in the inspiration to the final but the logotype for the movie is a type family itself ive seen on Indigo's branding as well as B.H.Bhandari's logotype...i kinda saw the similarity and it really intrigues me..

Re: Design Temple
The QUA identity doesn't seem to make any sense to me as the logotype is nor ledgible as well as to an extent readable..no wonder it might not have worked out as a pitch to QUA pack. water..

Re: Design Temple
the wordimage seems to be more like OUR than QUA as there is no disticntion in the counter intersection for the letter Q which makes it look more like O .Also the verve or the connected stroke from U to the so called A is not close to the blob which might have acted as a crossbar to A..hmm.. pretty mich about it..
Re: Design Temple
i agree with you sumedh.... but to point out, the good point about the graphic is that...the flow of the QUA logo looks really nice.....it looks inspired by Water.....just that the designer should have taken care about the readability too....!!!

Re: Design Temple
thats why design is such a tedious process sometimes and it always a constant task to review your design in terms of its effectiveness..

I agree with sumedh. the legibility of logo on a super market shopping shelf is of eminent importance. and this one just doesnt cut it...

Re: Design Temple
I am sorry, but their work is OK. I guess its also to do with the clients that you get to work with. Not every client has creative leanings.
