KATERINA STIKOUDI Logo and Branding Identity designed by Loft D'art

Katerina Stikoudi is the most successful pop artist in the Greek music industry!

Persistence, continuous improvement and remarkable appearance on stage, quickly established Katerina Stikoudi in the artistic setting. Katerina Stikoudi is now one of the most controversial celebrities in show biz. The simplicity that characterises her presence offstage is in contrast to her impressive appearance. The style that she promotes in her photo-shoots and her expensive video-clips established her as the Pop idol of her era.

*Katerina Stikoudi’s career is characterised by great changes: starting and staring in beauty competitions and modelling shows, when today she interprets, composes and produces her own songs.

The design of Katerina Stikoudi’s brand was based on her subversive character.

By removing the vowels of such a recognizable name, we wanted to challenge the reader, while creating a balanced logo with one-weight lines that compose a modern typographic style.

Finally, by highlighting the abstract K, we promote the only consonant that appears in both Stikoudi’s name and surname.
