About
The Institute of Marketing and Management (IMM) had a strong legacy but was beginning to lose its relevance in a fast-evolving education landscape. To mark their 50th anniversary, they wanted to reimagine their identity—something that felt modern, trustworthy, and future-ready while still honoring their rich history.
We led a complete rebranding exercise inspired by the founder’s signature maroon turban, a consistent symbol associated with his legacy. The new visual identity captured keywords like Progress, Leadership, Support, Confidence, and Unity—brought to life through a powerful, structured monogram and a refreshed website. Each color in the new palette had meaning, with accent sub-brands crafted for global partnerships in France and South Africa.
The relaunch positioned IMM as a contemporary institution rooted in legacy but driven by ambition.
Problem Statements
The previous logo was unclear and did not communicate academic authority.
IMM’s visual identity felt outdated and uninspiring.
No cohesive system for sub-brands or international programs.
