Industries: Retail, Leather
Deliverables: Identity, Social Media
Mariel Manalansan embarked on his leather crafting journey as a side hustle while working as a full-time barista in Malaysia. Curiosity sparked when he observed his boss engaged in leatherwork, prompting him to pick up a set of tools and create a wallet. He hasn't looked back since.

This branding is a part of my BRANDICAL set, offering practical branding solutions where I assist MSMEs in developing their brand identity at a subsidized cost.

His business comprises two main aspects: retail, involving the sale of premium leather items like bags and purses; and education, where he teaches individuals the art of crafting leather goods. 

The design I crafted for the client focused on creating a mark that resonates well with leather. The concept evolved into a stamp-like emblem, reminiscent of traditional livestock branding. Additionally, to leave a distinct impression, an actual signature, represented by the "Mr M" motif, was incorporated beneath the typographic structure

Taking an unconventional approach, the logomark signature was positioned below the typography.
