The idea behind creating identity

The Himalayan Ibex, a resilient and agile species native to the rugged terrains of the Himalayas, forms the inspiration for The Dominion. 

Much like the people of this sports club, the Ibex symbolizes strength, balance, and unwavering determination. Dehradun, nestled in the Himalayan foothills, shares a natural connection with this powerful animal. Choosing the Ibex was a conscious decision to ground the brand in its geographical identity, while reflecting the spirit of dominance, elevation, and fearless pursuit that defines true sportsmanship.

THOUGHT CAPSULE

Blob shapes-03-07.png

"I kept coming back to that feeling — of strength, stillness, and quiet dominance — and somehow, the Himalayan Ibex just made sense. It wasn’t just about picking an animal; it was about picking a spirit. Designing the identity was my way of grounding a brand in its land. I didn’t want it to just look sporty; I wanted it to feel resilient. The identity resonates when it’s personal and local and when it carries meaning beyond the brief. Looking back, this project reminded me that the strongest identities don’t shout — they hold their ground."
