Sepia & Anchor - Brand Identity for a Stationery & Correspondence Co.
Introducing the brand identity for Sepia & Anchor, a stationery and correspondence brand built around a single historical fact: sepia ink was once drawn from real cuttlefish, long before synthetic ink existed. The anchor holds it steady.
This brand sheet features a navy, gold, and parchment palette applied across real materials - embossed leather journal, wax-sealed envelope, the ink bottle label itself, and a canvas bag tag - showing how one mark and one story carry consistently across every surface a correspondence brand actually touches.
Brand Highlights:
- Embossed leather journal cover
- Wax seal with the anchor mark
- Ink bottle label design
- Canvas bag tag application
- Navy, sepia gold, and parchment palette
- Concept-driven mark tied to the brand’s real namesake
Brand Name: Sepia & Anchor
Industry: Stationery & Correspondence
Tagline: Written to last.
Not from the same story, it’s there for what it does, not where it’s from. Ink drifts without something holding it down so it felt right for a brand about writing that’s meant to last.

Propora: Brand Identity for a Modern Real Estate Company
Propora is a real estate brand built to feel confident, modern and trustworthy. I designed a complete visual identity that helps it stand out in a market full of safe blues and generic house icons.
The concept
The logo mark is a bold, geometric "P" with a notch cut into its stem. It reads as a rooftop, a doorway and a forward arrow at once, suggesting property, access and progress. It is paired with a heavy, wide wordmark that feels strong and approachable.
Color and tone
Electric yellow-green brings energy and optimism, and makes the brand instantly recognizable.
Deep black adds authority and contrast, so the yellow always pops.
White keeps layouts clean and professional.
What I delivered
Primary logo, icon mark and app icon
Color palette and typography guidelines
Business cards and stationery
Employee ID badges and lanyards
Branded packaging tape
Mobile app icon and home screen mockup
Social and marketing visuals
The result
A flexible, high-contrast identity that works across print, digital and physical touchpoints, and gives Propora a distinctive presence from a business card to a phone screen.
Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, Corel Draw
Tip for your Contra post: Add a one-line tagline at the top, like "A bold identity for a real estate brand built on trust and momentum." Lead with your best mockup, which is the large logo on the yellow background.

What makes Purros unique:
We specialize in crafting effortless, cat-shaped churros and donuts.
Where did the idea come from?
When I first opened Canva to design a stunning logo, churros were on my mind. I needed a name that fit, and Purros was the only natural choice, because a cat habitually purrs!
