Inception and
Research

The rebranding began with in-depth research into Gamel Clodin's history, core values, and its audience—fashion enthusiasts and clients seeking refined African wear with a sophisticated, timeless appeal. The brand needed a design language that balanced authority with authenticity, capturing the essence of African tradition through a modern lens. My initial focus was on creating a minimalist logo that maintained a classic appeal while resonating with the brand’s established customer base.

Design
Development

Through sketching and concept iterations, I crafted a visual identity rooted in simplicity and elegance. Gold and yellow became core colors, symbolizing luxury and warmth, while black and gray were chosen as secondary hues to add depth and versatility. To integrate heritage with modernity, I designed a logo that commands authority while embodying African aesthetics, conveying an unmistakable sense of tradition and exclusivity. Key brand assets, including icons and subtle patterns, were developed to strengthen brand cohesion across all touchpoints.
