When J.Kuttin wanted a logo that helped them launch the fashion brand in London, they turned to SpellBrand to help them create the right vehicle to market their brand.

The vision of the brand is to start with business casual styles and then slowly start introducing bold African prints on t-shirts and backpacks etc with a streetwear vibe like Hype, Serge Denimes, and Herschel. To enable this broad range of styles, the brand identity needed to be professional and elegant with a bit of fun and casualness – a tough challenge for any design agency.

So, we approached this design with a brand story that we developed centering around “helping African reach new heights” which translated into the visual moniker of “scaling mountains”. We picked the 3 highest mountains in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania – 19,563 ft. (5,963 m), Mount Kenya, Kenya – 17,057 ft (5,199 m) and Mount Stanley, Democratic Republic of the Congo – 16,763 ft (5,109 m) created 3 triangles to represent these 3 mountains.

With a very simple iconic design integrated with elegant typography, the logo turned out to represent the brand perfectly and tell the story of the connection between Africa and London in a powerful way. African fashion is quite low profile in London and it is time to change that. Brands such as J.Kuttin who get into the market with a great brand story, designs with style and elegance with deep-rooted connections to Africa can change the landscape quite quickly.
