Brand identity

Anchor points.

In a design tool, every curve is made of anchor points, and each one is a decision. That is how I work, and how this identity is built: selection boxes, colour chips, stickers, artboards, handles and a path.

The mark: TE

Tamer’s T and Elsheikh’s E share one roof: a single gold bar that is both the crossbar of the T and the top arm of the E. The T stands in gold, the E in marker red, and two pen-tool anchor points mark the feet. Deep studio green, a double gold hallmark border.
