About Borna Sazegan Brand Identity
Borna Sazegan is a brand identity created for a company that builds large structures. The identity is based on lines, inspired by the intersecting lines of metal structures used in construction. These lines form animal figures in which details of a building structure can be seen. Each animal carries a meaning: the rhinoceros stands for power and endurance, the horse for speed, the deer for beauty, and the lion leads the group. Warm and cool colors in the palette convey power together with calm. The illustrations can be used as details or in complete form.
Doraj Design House's brand identity for structural engineering and construction services exemplifies contemporary environmental graphic design's capacity to translate complex technical expertise into immediately legible public-facing visual communication, positioning professional credibility within the architectural landscape through sophisticated formal strategies. The work engages with longstanding traditions of construction industry visual identity while demonstrating notable chromatic innovation through its deployment of warm coral-red as primary brand carrier, a choice that distinguishes the identity from the cooler blue-gray palettes historically dominant in engineering and infrastructure sectors. This color selection achieves dual communication objectives by simultaneously conveying the energy, dynamism, and human-centered warmth appropriate for client-facing professional services while maintaining sufficient saturation and contrast to command attention in competitive urban visual environments. The compositional architecture reveals careful attention to multi-scalar legibility, structuring information through clear hierarchical zones that function effectively from both pedestrian proximity and vehicular distance, the left-to-right progression from technical diagram through verbal articulation to photographic documentation creates an elegant narrative arc suggesting conceptual rigor materialized in tangible built reality. The white linear illustrations demonstrate sophisticated graphic reduction, distilling complex three-dimensional structural frameworks into clean geometric line work that reads as both technical precision and aesthetic refinement, these diagrammatic elements establish immediate category recognition, signaling engineering expertise through visual vocabulary familiar to industry professionals while remaining sufficiently iconic to communicate structural themes to general audiences. The integration of nocturnal industrial photography introduces material authenticity and atmospheric drama, grounding the abstract diagrammatic language in physical reality and creating emotional resonance through the warm amber illumination of actual steel frameworks against deepening twilight, this photographic element functions as visual proof, the tangible manifestation of the conceptual frameworks illustrated at left. The typographic treatment exemplifies contemporary corporate communication, deploying geometric sans-serif forms that project rationalism and contemporary professionalism while the two-tier "STRONG STRUCTURES" message delivers brand promise with admirable directness, the verbal and visual elements achieving complete integration where word and image reinforce unified meaning. The work's installation context upon a building facade exhibiting rhythmic horizontal banding creates sophisticated figure-ground interplay, the billboard neither disappearing into nor competing destructively with its architectural support but rather engaging in visual dialogue where the striped background echoes and amplifies the linear geometries of the billboard content. One might observe how this environmental graphic installation transforms passive architectural surface into active communication, asserting brand presence within the urban fabric while contributing to rather than degrading the visual quality of contemporary built environments, the work invites consideration of how professional service brands can achieve visibility and memorability through design intelligence rather than visual aggression, and how thoughtful color strategy, compositional clarity, and conceptual coherence create brand identities that function as both information systems and aesthetic contributions to shared public space.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Considering this brand’s strategies, which emphasize concepts of power and endurance, speed, and beauty in construction, these concepts are conveyed to the audience in the simplest possible form through these illustrations. Based on the brand’s vision, using this illustration technique, the illustrations can be expanded, and other animals with different concepts can be added to the brand’s visual identity.

- Production Technology
- The main elements in creating the visual identity of this brand are lines. By utilizing the composition of lines, we arrive at animal character forms, within which details of a building structure can be observed. These animals are designed in such a way that they can be used both as a detail of the animals and in their complete form. Also, by considering warm and cool colors in the corporate color palette, it brings a sense of power along with tranquility to the audience.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge in designing the identity of this brand was selecting symbols that would allow the audience to understand the brand's strategy upon seeing them.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2023 in Yazd-Iran and finished in July 2023 in Yazd-Iran
- Operation Flow
- Considering the concerns of the audience (including speed in construction, power, and endurance of structures) that exist in society, solutions have been symbolically transformed into illustrations of animals. For example, the concepts of power and endurance are evoked in the audience’s mind when they see the illustration of a rhinoceros.
- Research
- Based on the brand's strategy, research and information gathering were conducted regarding building structures and animals that could be combined with these structures, in order to create solutions for expressing the brand's strategy.
- Inspiration
- Borna Sazgan is a powerful team specializing in the construction of large structures. The main inspiration for this design came from metal structures. When metal structures are assembled to build constructions, they create a multitude of intersecting lines from which animal designs have been extracted. Each animal has been a symbol based on the brand's strategy. The rhinoceros symbolizes power and endurance, the horse symbolizes speed, the deer symbolizes beauty, and the lion is the brand's symbol as the leader at the head of all animals, commanding the other animals to build in the field of construction.
