A custom logo identity for URUGWIRO Cultural Troupe, blending bold custom typography with traditional Rwandan cultural motifs to establish a memorable visual identity.
It’s been a minute since my last post here on Contra.
While my main focus usually lives in photo editing and digital design, I was digging through the archive recently and thought it’d be fun to share a couple of branding projects from the past:
Slide 2: Choku Ladies Boutique identity and mockups (2 years ago)
Brand identity isn't my everyday lane, but tackling projects like these taught me a lot about visual consistency across different mediums. I’d love to hear your thoughts or see any feedback from fellow designers. Great to connect with the community again.
I don’t avoid templates just to make things look different.
I avoid flattening a physical brand into a generic digital experience.
A restaurant, studio, fashion label or product can have incredible character in the real world, then lose all of it the moment it becomes a website.
That gap is what interests me.
The website should be able to carry the atmosphere through layout, typography, pacing, motion and interaction, and ideally attract people before they ever experience the physical space.
Not every project needs to be highly expressive.
Some websites should stay simple, direct and functional.
But even simplicity can carry identity.
Bolluni was built with that in mind: translating the character of the restaurant into a digital experience rather than simply presenting information.
So well said. That's exactly the problem - a restaurant can have so much soul IRL then become another generic grid online. Love that you don't just avoid templates to be different, but to protect the brand's actual character. 100% agree.
