Before arriving at the final logotype, the Kafilms brand underwent a careful visual exploration process. Early directions tested various approaches to typography, tone, and emotional weight — each aiming to capture the brand’s cinematic essence without relying on obvious symbols. The focus was on building a visual identity that could quietly express depth, intention, and timelessness.

Throughout this process, the design team prioritized clarity, distinctiveness, and emotional resonance.

REBRANDING EVALUATION:

OLD VS. NEW LOGO

The new Kafilms logo presents a major shift in tone and visual identity.

What improved:

- The serif font adds a premium, editorial look, evoking classic cinema and storytelling.

- Letterforms feel more intentional and expressive.

- Spacing and rhythm are more refined, enhancing legibility.

The Kafilms logo began with a strong typographic foundation: the Honest Bold typeface — chosen for its structural clarity, modern integrity, and subtle classic undertones. From there, our team engaged in a meticulous refinement process to transform a solid typeface into a unique and ownable brand signature.

We carefully adjusted the kerning to establish a balanced rhythm across the wordmark, ensuring that every letter carries equal visual weight and presence. Special attention was given to the relationship between the letters “f” and “i”, a delicate junction refined to achieve both harmony and distinction.

The original serifs were redrawn and subtly exaggerated, enhancing the logo’s character while reinforcing legibility and elegance. These crafted details allow the wordmark to evoke a cinematic sensibility — quiet yet expressive, minimal yet emotionally rich.

The icon retains its clarity and meaning in single-color use. Ideal for stamps, engravings, and minimal layouts.

Logo Guide

Using the logo correctly ensures a consistent and professional brand presence, enhances recognition, and protects its value by preventing distortion or misuse that could weaken its impact.

SYMBOL AS VISUAL LANGUAGE

As part of the visual identity refinement, we extracted a distinct form from the lowercase “i” in the Kafilms wordmark — a subtle yet powerful detail that now serves as a standalone graphic symbol.

This shape, reminiscent of a camera lens or aperture, creates an intentional bridge between typography and visual storytelling. It doesn’t function as a logo or icon in the traditional sense, but as a signature design element that adds sophistication, consistency, and recognition across brand materials.

By isolating this detail and giving it its own space in the visual system, we introduce a premium mark that reflects both the brand’s aesthetic precision and its connection to cinema and photography.

The symbol allows the brand to speak without words, serving as a quiet but iconic accent in digital layouts, print applications, packaging, and motion design.

COLOR PALETTE

The color palette of Kafilms reflects its cinematic depth, emotional tension, and elegant restraint. The combination of powerful contrast and subtle shades creates a timeless visual language — equally suited for editorial, digital, and motion-based applications.

PATTERNS

Patterns in the Kafilms identity system are designed to support the brand’s atmosphere: minimal, emotional, and cinematic. Each pattern is built from elements that already exist in the visual language of the brand — from the lens-inspired symbol to the expressive tagline typography.

These patterns are not decorative fillers, but subtle extensions of the brand voice. They can be used to add rhythm, depth, or texture to a layout, especially in packaging, posters, editorial spreads, or digital backgrounds.

TYPOGRAPHY

Corsa Grotesk is a modern, neutral sans-serif typeface that offers clarity and flexibility across all mediums. Its clean geometry and well-balanced letterforms allow the brand’s visuals and storytelling to shine without distraction. It’s elegant yet unobtrusive — a perfect fit for Kafilms’ understated and atmospheric tone.

Headers and body font

Accent typeface

Amsterdam Four is used sparingly to introduce a touch of personal expression and warmth. This handwritten script brings contrast and emotional texture when needed — especially in artistic layouts, storytelling slides, or title frames. It should never compete with the primary typography but instead complement it in intentional, limited use cases.

These are not strict rules, but creative recommendations to help maintain consistency, mood, and visual impact when using the Kafilms brand. This guide is meant to support collaborators, editors, and designers in applying the identity across different formats — with flexibility and intent.

The goal of this project is to build a cinematic and emotionally distinctive visual identity for Kafilms — a creative studio specializing in fashion campaigns, commercial films, wedding documentaries, and social media storytelling.

This identity blends elegant typography, a minimal yet expressive color palette, and carefully crafted graphic elements to evoke a sense of timelessness and creative depth.

Kafilms communicates with cinematic stillness and emotional clarity. The brand’s voice is minimalist, sincere, and visually evocative — designed to feel composed, intentional, and premium without being loud. It avoids overused marketing clichés, focusing instead on the power of carefully chosen words.
