Overview

In April 2021, I was approached to re-design the identity for Koo, and Indian micro-blogging platform. The previous identity, a yellow bird, had grown to be associated with the platform and was distinct and recognisable. The challenge, therefore, was to retain the bird and the visual essence of the brand. The refreshed logo needed to look friendly and approachable, while continuing to be one Indians across the country could effortlessly connect with.

The revised mnemonic was crafted with keen attention to detail and simplified forms that would translate with perfect clarity across brand applications from ‘Share’ buttons to the app icon.

The Koo wordmark, set in a cheerful typeface, Baloo, needed to work effectively across a range of Indian languages and scripts. Baloo’s bold, playful letterforms and compatibility with a range of Indian scripts made it the perfect choice.
