kisu.in brand
The identity system for kisu.in — logo, colour, type and stationery, and how to use them together.
About the name. While 'kisu' means 'kiss' in Japanese, implying affection and intimacy, in some Indian dialects, it can also refer to something small or cute, adding a sense of endearment.
Logo
The wordmark is the primary logo. Use the monogram where space is tight — app icons, avatars and favicons.
Clear space: keep at least the height of the “k” free on every side of the logo.
Colour
A deliberate palette: the primary carries the brand, the accent is for emphasis — use it sparingly.
