KARACHI BIENNALE

Brand Identity Proposal

Identity design for a large-scale cultural event

Abstract black and white geometric pattern with the text 'ART KARACHI' in white on a blue translucent rectangle.

Overview

Developed a brand identity proposal for Karachi Biennale, leading a small cross-functional team. The work focused on a minimal, contemporary visual language built around typography.

Following an initial discovery session, multiple directions were proposed, with one selected for further development and delivery.
ROLE:
Brand Designer
SCOPE:
Logo, typography-led visual system, web assets, stationery, postcards

Challenge

The goal was to create a contemporary identity that could represent a large-scale cultural event while remaining flexible across a wide range of applications and formats.

Approach

The identity was built around a typography-led approach, using type as the primary visual element rather than relying on illustrative or decorative motifs.

A restrained palette of greys with a contrasting blue accent was used to maintain clarity while allowing emphasis where needed. The system focused on modularity and consistency, enabling it to scale across different formats while retaining a cohesive visual language.

Visual System

The system was designed to extend consistently across multiple event touchpoints, ensuring clarity, cohesion and adaptability across both print and digital applications.
  • Logo and typographic identity
  • Web and digital assets
  • Stationery and printed materials
  • Postcards and supporting collateral
  • Social media and communication assets

Outcome

The selected direction was developed through to final deliverables and handed off to the client. The final event branding followed a different creative direction. This work represents the identity development and system created during the project.
