Brand Experience Design for Krafton

Krafton's logo design system expresses both the uniqueness and consistency of each alliance brand after being inspired by the crest of the Craft Guild of the Middle Ages, as the brand's core identity is centered on craftsmanship in developing games. The crest shape of the logo is applied consistently to all the alliance brands, differentiated by the use of designated colors, and forms a cohesive visual system.

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. This highlights the IP products provided by Krafton to enable investors and the public to easily access them and modularizes them for the improvement of management efficiency against issues.

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.

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.

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.
