The name

सम्यक्

Sanskrit for complete, whole, done rightly.

Context

Samyakk is a wedding destination store in Richmond Town, Bengaluru. It sells bridal wear, sarees, menswear and womenswear.

Challenge

The old logo was a stock lotus over a plain lowercase serif. It looked generic and did not suggest weddings or luxury. Samyakk needed an identity that would work across print, packaging and the store.

What I did

I designed a new logo and colour palette, applied them to the store revamp, and designed the stationery, packaging and bags.

The client approved the new identity at the first presentation and replaced their old logo with it.

Before and after

The lotus from the old logo is kept and redrawn as a crown on a custom wordmark.
