Match
Brand design for matches
I developed a brand for souvenir matches, inspired by Armenian cultural heritage. The concept is built on the intersection of ancient ornamentation and contemporary design thinking.

The logo is based on the image of a vishap, a mythological creature from Armenian culture. The mark reads as two crossed matches with fire on top, while referencing rock carvings and traditional Armenian symbols.
I developed a complete design system: logo in multiple variations, a color palette, typography, and patterns based on the geometry of Armenian carpets and reliefs.
I designed the packaging as the primary brand carrier. The key feature — two boxes fold into a single logo. This transforms the product from a utilitarian object into a collectible.
I created a merch line: hoodies with vishap illustrations, business cards, gift sets, candles under the sub-brand "Burn the magic", and a branded fire extinguisher.
I developed an advertising campaign with a unified slogan find your magic — for outdoor advertising, storefronts, and urban placements.
I expanded the brand universe to MatchFind — a mobile app for content discovery. Two phones held together create a shared playlist based on both users' preferences.
