The strategy was to position IDHAM as a brand that offers luxury through purity, leveraging the allure of nature’s untapped beauty and efficacy.

5. Wordmark and Monogram Design

• The wordmark is a hand-drawn design that reflects IDHAM’s commitment to pure, herbal skincare. Diamond shapes in the design symbolize both purity and luxury, while the clean, simple sans-serif font base underscores the brand’s modern, sophisticated approach. The monogram is a testament to IDHAM’s philosophy of nurturing and natural care. Encased in a circular frame, it symbolizes gentleness and the cyclical nature of beauty and skin care. The intertwined ‘D’ and ‘M’ form a flowing spiral, accented by a small leaf to highlight the brand’s focus on natural ingredients. A modified crucible at the intersection represents the transformation of nature into nourishing skincare products.
