About Krafton Primary Function: Дизајн на брендско искуство

Book Text: Krafton е дизајн на брендско искуство создаден за група студија за развој на видеоигри. Системот за дизајн на логото ја изразува како уникатноста на секој бренд од алијансата, така и конзистентноста на групата. Дизајнот е инспириран од грбот на занаетчиски еснаф од Средниот век, а како основна форма се користи рамка во облик на штит. Истата форма на грб се применува на сите брендови од алијансата и се разликува преку наменски бои. Логоата, боите, фонтовите и клучните визуелни елементи се користат низ повеќе точки на контакт, како што се визит-карти, обрасци, икони и реклами.

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.
