01The brief

A university sub-brand with its own entrepreneurial signal.

TIEA operates inside Takshashila University while speaking to students, founders, incubators, and industry partners. It needed the credibility of an academic institution without losing the optimism and forward motion of enterprise.

The answer is a restrained identity that feels established in formal settings and unmistakably energetic everywhere else.

Identity: Symbol, lockup, colour, usage
Stationery: Cards, envelopes, letterhead
Environment: Reception and institutional signage
Campaign: Admissions poster and information flyer

02The mark

Academic growth, drawn with the energy of a spark.

A continuous monoline form combines a lotus, a rising stem, and an ignition point. The geometry is simple enough to remain recognisable at small sizes and distinctive enough to lead an environment.

03Environmental identity

A quiet, confident arrival point.

The mark scales into the university environment without becoming decorative noise. Material depth, generous clear space, and a direct lockup give the association the authority of a permanent institution.

04The stationery system

One visual rhythm across every formal exchange.

The blush paper ground softens institutional communication, while aubergine and orange create a clear hierarchy. Each item keeps the mark visible, the information calm, and the university context intact.

Formal when it needs to be.

Designed as a repeatable kit, not a collection of isolated pieces.

Shared alignment, controlled clear space, and a single petal gesture make future applications easy to produce without diluting the system.

05Campaign extension

The identity opens into a wider admissions voice.

For recruitment, the palette expands into navy while orange remains the key signal. The result is more expressive, but still visibly connected to the institution and its underlying system.
