Logo redesign and full stationery design
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
Soluções Metálicas de Angola is a forward-thinking company operating in the industrial transformation of metals, including structural steel, architectural aluminium, and high-precision fabrication. The company stands at the intersection of engineering precision, Angolan resilience, and functional creativity, serving both infrastructure megaprojects and detailed bespoke designs.
Objective:
The new logo must capture the solidity and versatility of metalwork, while reflecting modernity, professionalism, and local identity. It should be distinctive and memorable, with a design language that speaks more to craftsmanship, technical mastery, and structure than to abstract branding tropes.
⸻
What We Want — Creative Direction (Not for AI use):
1. Visual Foundation
Think of the texture of brushed steel, the lines of a weld, the geometry of an I-beam, or the assembly logic of a truss. These should inspire form — not be copied.
The logo must feel engineered, not drawn.
2. Typography
The name SMA must appear, ideally in a custom or modified typeface that feels “built” rather than typed. Use inspiration from engraving stamps, technical schematics, or workshop markings.
3. Symbolic Element (Abstract, not literal)
Do not include tools, gears, or cogs — instead, create a unique mark that might be inspired by:
• Load-bearing structures
• Overlapping plates or profiles
• The joining of aluminium and steel as form and function
4. Color Philosophy
Limit to 2–3 colours only. Use shades of graphite, metallic greys, or deep blue to evoke professionalism. Avoid gradients and glossy finishes. It must work equally well in black and white, as well as on metal signage or embossed on documentation.
⸻
What the Logo Must Achieve:
• Immediate recognition in construction and engineering sectors
• Authority and trust when appearing on technical reports, factory walls, and export documents
• Timeless appeal, able to endure as the company expands into international markets
⸻
Deliverables
• Primary logo (with symbol + wordmark)
• Monochrome version
• Brand mark/icon (symbol only)
• Justification sketch or moodboard showing design thinking process
