IV.Brand system
  1. 01

    The logo — I created a geometric square-Kufic monogram in gold, paired with an Arabic wordmark and a clean Latin "ATHELA" lockup. It fuses traditional Islamic calligraphy with a modern, minimal structure. Tagline: Heritage Inspiring Elegance.

  2. 02

    Visual language — A restrained gold-on-black palette signalling luxury, with thin gold rules and bilingual Arabic/Latin typography. The design earns its impact through material and restraint, not decoration.

  3. 03

    Packaging — Applied across a rigid-box system: magnetic gift box, sliding drawer box with ribbon pull, and a ribbon-handled shopping bag — gold foil monogram on matte black throughout, with a folded leather-look tab detail.
