iCabinets

Client
iCabinets
Year
2024

Identity for iCabinets, built on the i of its name: an emblem that cuts an i from a yellow block, logotypes in English and Arabic, a palette led by black and yellow, and motivational words that open with the emblem.

Role
Emblem, bilingual logotype, visual identity, applications

iCabinets is آي للخزائن in Arabic. The identity is built on the i of the name: it becomes the emblem and opens a set of motivational words.

The i of iCabinets

Five words share the i: impact, innovation, intelligence, inclusion and insight, or أثر، ابتكار، ذكاء، شمولية، رؤية ثاقبة in Arabic. The inspiration board draws them into one line, set in a room of white cabinets.

Inspiration board: a bright room with white built-in cabinets and one open niche framed in yellow, beside the statement that the logo captures the spirit of innovation and intelligence.

Emblem construction

The emblem cuts an i from a yellow block. Its hard edges reflect precision, and its round edges reflect flexibility and high craftsmanship.
