Dhanishta Investments and Estates




Inspiration
I was looking at how legacy Indian conglomerates like Birla approach their visual identity; bold geometry, strong contrast, rooted in Art Deco. That felt right for an investments and estates brand. Serious without being boring. I borrowed that direction and built something in the same spirit, just with the company's own initials at the centre of it.
The Mark
The logomark is D, I, &, and E, constructed out of geometric shapes and negative space. The "i" doesn't get its own letterform; it lives in the gap between the D and the ampersand, with just the dot above to confirm it's there. The rest of the letters follow the same logic. Nothing is drawn out more than it needs to be.
Colour
The palette leans heavily on blue for trust, reliability, professionalism; the standard reasons, and they're standard for a reason. Two blues: Tsunami Blue and Charged Blue. Tsunami Blue keeps things grounded, while Charged Blue stops it from feeling too stiff. The mark also works as a clean single colour logo across any background.
Typography
Poppins Bold was the natural pick for the font. It's geometric, so it doesn't feel out of place next to the logomark. That was the main requirement, and it clears it comfortably.
Letterhead
The stationery carries the same geometric shapes from the logo into the layout; corner blocks, ruled lines, structured space. Keeps everything feeling like it belongs to the same family.
