About

IDEX

Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) is a Ministry of Defence initiative that aims to create an ecosystem where individual innovators, MSMEs, startups, R&D institutes and academia, can engage and work towards innovation and development in the defence and aerospace sectors. They envision a self-reliant India - one that discovers and nurtures the innate potential of its people.

Objective & Challenges

Objective

In a world saturated with consumer branding, public sectors struggle to express their intent to engage effectively with citizens. Government organisations are seldom associated with physical products but largely with trust, ideas, beliefs, and services which makes branding even more critical to achieving their objectives.

Nationalist Imagery

The elements we retained as being the core that could balance the act of modernism and traditional. Tracing the historical relevance of imagery, elements and symbolism in Indian heraldry.

Inviting Modern Appeal

We went through myriad imagery trying to bring the best of all three defence forces into the logo and the website. By drawing the focus to these elements, we made the brand more recognisable and accessible.


The idenity is a marriage between traditionalist and contemporary imagery that are assosciated with nation, development, defence & innovation, the touchpoints of which heightens the sense of national development.

Result

We helped build a digital platform that could foster an open innovation ecosystem to modernize the Indian Military. We helped them achieve this by creating a brand that hones a unified perception among a myriad of mindsets.
