Logo

explanation of process


The logo features a Persian girl weaving rugs, subtly forming the shape of a “G.” This concept is inspired by the tradition of inheriting the art form. Most carpet artisans are women who learned the craft by watching their mothers from a young age. This knowledge, passed down through generations, evolves with each artisan’s experience. Persian rug weaving is a cherished and predominantly female art.

Colour Palette

The color palette is inspired by the hues commonly found in Persian rugs. Red and gold are the most distinctive colors. The combination of primary, secondary, and accent colors evokes the essence of Persian rugs, imparting an antique and extravagant feel.

Typography

Begum is an engraved serif typeface that blends classic and modern elements. It conveys the brand’s antique and authentic feel while offering excellent usability and legibility for web and mobile. The script characters and use of dots add a soft touch, making the font more friendly and inviting.
