The Design

About Krafton Design d'expérience de marque

Krafton est un design d'expérience de marque créé pour un groupe de studios de développement de jeux vidéo. Le système d'identité visuelle exprime à la fois la singularité de chaque marque de l'alliance et la cohérence de l'ensemble du groupe. Le design s'inspire des blasons des guildes d'artisans du Moyen Âge, et un cadre en forme de bouclier sert de forme de base. La même forme de blason est appliquée à toutes les marques de l'alliance et se différencie par des couleurs attitrées. Les logos, les couleurs, les polices de caractères et les visuels clés sont déclinés sur l'ensemble des points de contact tels que les cartes de visite, les formulaires, les icônes et les publicités.

Unique Properties: Krafton has built its logo design system that can express both the uniqueness and consistency of each alliance brand to reestablish the brand architecture.

Production Technology: 1. Brand Value Platform
Krafton's essence is defined as UNGRAVITY.

2. Visual Identity and Brand Design Element Development
Krafton's brand identity is expressed by visualizing a shield-shaped frame, which is the basic form of a guild crest.

3. Brand Experience Design
From all touchpoints, key visual assets such as logos, colors, typefaces, and key visuals are used in the right places to provide Krafton's differentiated brand experiences.
Design Challenge: It was difficult to establish a logo design system that could express both the uniqueness of each of Krafton's associated brands and the consistency of the group’s brand. However, with the goal of expressing the value of “independence and cooperation” pursued by Krafton, we have built a design system that simultaneously shows the integrated image of the group brand and the unique image of each union company.
Research: Through internal interviews, it is found that the “hole” of the existing verbal asset has a negative impression in English-speaking countries. Thus, we thought that the association was a major risk to the company’s goal to enter global markets. In addition, research on the corporate structure of an alliance of diverse development studios and the characteristics, philosophy, direction of the alliance were conducted. Through this process, Krafton was created as a new name.
Inspiration: Krafton has built its logo design system that can express both the uniqueness and consistency of each alliance brand after being inspired by the crest of the Craft Guild of the Middle Ages.
Project Duration: The project proceeded for 9 months in Seoul, South Korea.
Operation Flow: The shield-shaped frame indicates “the symbol of a guild in the Middle Ages.” The use of the frame can convey Krafton's brand identity, which is like a guild of game development with various game developers, so that it is easy to expand the meaning and that it can be used in all touchpoints such as forms, icons, and advertisements.
