The idea for Nine Publications began with something personal. My name, Navya, means “nine” in Sanskrit, and I wanted that connection to shape the identity of the brand. From the start, my goal was to create a mark that feels human, modern, and warm, reflecting both creativity and clarity.
The number nine was custom illustrated by me to look sleek and bold, with a subtle pen shape inside it to represent writing, storytelling, and the spirit of publishing. I explored several versions inspired by geometric and minimalist design and refined it into a form that balances strength and simplicity.
I chose Futura Regular and Futura Bold to keep the look clean and modern and paired them with a calm, balanced color palette that feels professional yet approachable. Every element, from the typography to the illustrated nine, is meant to express creativity, connection, and inclusivity, the core values behind Nine Publications.
