Miratti is a luxury brand renowned for its exquisite leather goods. The brand faced a challenge of lacking a cohesive art direction and consistent branding, hindering its ability to resonate with its target audience. As part of the project, my role was to unify the branding efforts and create an Arabic version of the logo specifically tailored to target Arabic countries.
Branding and art direction

To address this challenge, I embarked on an art direction and branding improvement project for Miratti, focusing on creating a visually compelling and culturally relevant brand identity.
Art Direction:
I initiated the project by establishing a comprehensive art direction for Miratti. This involved defining the brand’s visual style, tone, and overall aesthetic, ensuring that it aligned with the luxury positioning of the products. By curating a distinct visual language, I aimed to elevate the brand’s appeal and create a consistent and recognizable presence across all touchpoints.
Brand Identity Unification:
To unify the branding, I utilized the existing logo as a starting point. By carefully analyzing its elements and essence, I created a cohesive visual system that could be applied consistently across various brand materials. This included refining the logo, selecting an appropriate typography, and developing a harmonious color palette that exuded elegance and sophistication.
Arabic Logo Creation:
Recognizing the importance of targeting Arabic countries, I undertook the task of creating an Arabic version of the logo. Taking into account cultural nuances and aesthetic preferences, I designed an Arabic script that complemented the original logo while capturing the essence of the brand. This Arabic logo ensured a seamless brand experience for Arabic-speaking audiences, fostering a deeper connection and resonating with their cultural sensibilities.
Brand Collateral Enhancement:
To reinforce the new art direction and branding, I extended my efforts to enhance the brand collateral materials. This included designing high-quality packaging, tags, labels, and other branded assets that reflected the refined aesthetic of Miratti. By ensuring consistency in design elements, typography, and color usage, the brand collateral became a visual representation of luxury and exclusivity.
Throughout the project, my aim was to elevate the Miratti brand to new heights by unifying its visual identity and creating a culturally relevant Arabic logo. The refined art direction and branding improvements provided a cohesive and consistent brand experience, resonating with luxury consumers and establishing a stronger presence in the market. With a visually compelling brand identity in place, Miratti could confidently showcase its exceptional leather goods to discerning customers in both local and international markets.
