01The brief

Tarang is the arts festival where techies from every company in Infopark take the stage. For the fourth season it needed a mark that felt Malayali, festive and a little playful.

04The concept

ത+Loops+Bloom=Tarang

The identity is built on the Malayalam letter ത, a letter with infinite expressions. Its loops are repeated around a centre until they bloom into a flower, a festival mark that still reads as a letter. Pink on deep purple, beside a rounded lowercase wordmark.
