Corporate Identity

:: About Cinemaya Media Group CinéMaya Media Group is a leading provider of high quality international South Asian media, entertainment, and marketing services. Established in 2000 as a vertically-integrated company, CinéMaya Media Group has since grown into a mini-conglomerate in the ethnic media landscape through its robust businesses within Media, Entertainment and Marketing. :: Brief Cinemaya Media Inc. rebranded as Cinemaya Media Group after its merger with Caltas Fitness and needed a new identity.-that of a young, dynamic, international ,integrated company. Corporate Identity : Cinemaya Media Group Old Identity New Identity Corporate Identity

Strong visual form Although the symbol has all the four suits , it still supported the name ‘three’ . The club which was a part of existing identity remains prominent here as well. Symbol directly associated with the type of business Poor readability No strong symbolic form -the use of club was not prominent , lower recall value. Brief : A visual symbol (preferably 3 dimensional) and a logotype which works well when used individually as well as combined depending on the area of application Emphasis on the “number 3” teen patti ( three card poker) Corporate Identity : TeenPatti.com New Identity Old Identity Corporate Identity

Strong visual form

Although the symbol has all the four suits , it still

supported the name ‘three’ .

The club which was a part of existing identity remains

prominent here as well.

Symbol directly associated with the type of business

Poor readability

No strong symbolic form -the use of club

was not prominent , lower recall value.

Brief :

A visual symbol (preferably 3 dimensional) and a logotype which works well when used individually as

well as combined depending on the area of application

Emphasis on the “number 3” teen patti ( three card poker)

Thought Process: A: Using the club as a symbol as an extension of the existing logo Comments: The club symbol carries forward the existing identity to some extent Strong visual form but too simplistic to have a recall value of its own B: Using three suits to support the name Teenpatti (three cards) Comments: Lacking strong visual symbol Use of only 3 suits may give a wrong impression that teenpatti is played using cards having three suits only Lacking single visual symbol Use of only 3 suits may give a wrong impression that teenpatti is played using cards having three suits only Use of only 3 suits may give a wrong impression that teenpatti is played using cards having three suits only Corporate Identity

Website design

Website Design : SBI Cards Existing Homepage www.sbicard.com Pre –Facelift Lot of blank/ unutilized spaces Lacks the sophisticated neat look. Overall imbalanced GUI Website design

Proposed and approved Homepage Post-Facelift Improved visual navigation Improved Color navigation Proper utilization of space Balanced GUI Website design

Existing Homepage www.dhoomfm.com Website Design : Dhoom FM Pre-Facelift No Visual impact Empty Spaces Excessive text Lack of any attitude on the website, contrary to the name of the frequency. Website design

New Homepage www.demo.designmechanics.in/dhoomfm/ Post-Facelift Young & dynamic look for TG Effective use of space Programmed to give complete admin control to the client New sections-Forum, Pod cast, Polls, E Store etc. were included Website design

Website : MaxEmployeePortal Pre-Facelift Sections were all reprogrammed so their positions could not be changed drastically due to less time given before launch. Space utilization is not Efficient Scrolling in the page was not convenient, so was asked to decrease the same. Website design

New Homepage Post-Facelift Iconization to improve the overall visual impact. Better space utilization. Scrolling within the page was eliminated. Website design

Too many ads – looks more of a promotional site than an information site. Too many moving/flashy elements on the site which distract the user while navigating. Poor space utilization for providing possible information Though there are 2 separate links- “Makaan Search” and “Search properties in India” on the same page, the contents are similar. Inconsistency in the way headings are written e.g. ‘Registration benefits’, ‘makaan search’ and ‘have a house for rent’ have different treatments. Property poll is for the casual visitor so it should cover less space and can be moved further down Website Design : Makaan.com Existing Homepage Website design
