01 — The brief

An identity for everyday nourishment

Ahar is a tiffin (daily meal) service, created as a college exhibition project. The brief covered the whole identity: logo construction, wordmark, colour system and typography, then packaging across multiple touchpoints and promotional creatives.

02 — The mark

A grain, a letter, one flowing form

The mark combines an abstract grain form with the letter “a”, carved out of the grain in negative space, so the symbol leads straight into the lowercase wordmark.

Ahar logo breakdown board: grain form plus the letter a equals the mark, with notes on negative space, directional flow, typography and colour, and the four logo lockups
The logo breakdown board.
  • Grain form

    An abstract grain form represents nourishment.

  • Negative-space “a”

    The letter “a” is carved out to create a focal entry point, reinforcing the beginning of the brand name.

  • Directional flow

    A left-to-right visual flow guides the eye naturally into the wordmark, mirroring everyday food intake and routine.

  • Typography

    Lowercase humanist typography, selected for approachability and balance, complements the organic symbol without overpowering it.

  • Colour

    Dark green represents calm confidence and legibility. Ivory represents premium neutrality.

03 — Identity system

Logo, inverted logo, icon

The system works in both directions, green on ivory and ivory on green, plus a secondary icon.

04 — Applications

Packaging, posters and social

Packaging was developed across multiple touchpoints (delivery box, carry bag and container) with consistent brand application, alongside promotional social media creatives and service posters in the same visual language.

  • Consistent packaging across the delivery box, carry bag and container
  • Promotional posters and social creatives in the same visual language

Reflection

Designing Ahar taught me how to translate the idea of healthy, balanced food into a visual identity that feels warm and approachable. My background in Nutrition and Dietetics helped me understand the brand from the inside, while design taught me how to communicate that story through color, typography, and visual language. It showed me how thoughtful design can make a brand feel both trustworthy and inviting.
