Made in भारत {India}

Design in India is constantly influenced by the west and with time brands in India are shying away from using Indian typefaces in their brand identities which are a huge part of our culture. Though there are some brands that have used an Indian script and have created a sense of permanence and reliability in their own space.

Here are some popular logos using Indian script:

Kotak

The symbol of the infinite Ka reflects our global Indian personality. The Ka is uniquely Indian while its curve forms the infinity sign, which is universal. One of the basic tenets of economists is that man’s needs are unlimited. The infinite Ka symbolises that we have infinite number of ways to meet those needs.

Designer: R.K. Joshi, Ulka Advertising: Designed in 1984, the design with letter captures the ethos of the letter in Gurmukhi to conceptually complement Punjab National Bank (PNB). The orange colour also compliments the Indian ethos and traditional image. The Gurmukhi letterform enclosing a circle compliments the identity of PNB as a nationalized bank (system of the bank under the control of government).
