BRAND IDENTITY DESIGN

Empowerment sits at the heart of Alacran Group, a big word with the power to transform people’s mindsets in an even bigger way. This brand identity design project centers on positive messages that uplift the human spirit while uniting us as one.

The logo consists of the number 3 and an inverted number 6 as its base. Together, they form three perfect circles, marked by symmetry and stability, to form an iconic and modern logo for Alacran (“Scorpion” in Spanish). Everything is surrounded by a circle – representing our planet; a half-moon on the left represents the first light on the horizon as viewed from outer space. In print, copper foil over dark blue paper gives the brand a sophisticated appearance and texture.

Colors create moods- diverse tones and shades speak to the brand’s dynamic nature; complementary secondary colors complete the look.

FIBONACCI GRID

An imaginary grid sits behind the layout of every communication, in print and on screen. The grid follows the Fibonacci sequence, where every number is the sum of the two numbers that precede it (for example: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8). The sequence, named after an Italian mathematician, appears throughout nature, from flower petals and galaxy spirals to Romanesco broccoli and the bones of the human hand.

Following this grid allows multiple elements in a design to come together in perfect balance, with appealing rhythm and harmony. The Fibonacci sequence is typically used together with the golden ratio, a closely related mathematical principle.

URBAN, INTIMATE & HUMANE

A POWERFUL EXPERIENCE: SOLO PERFORMANCES.

 

 

CONCEPT IDEA

Showcase artistic expression and emotions through an instrument, voice or body.

A series of intimate performances where music transforms into a personal conversation. Each solo — whether through a drum, a baritone, the human voice, or the body itself — captures the raw essence of storytelling in its purest form.

The viewer experiences a close encounter, as if sitting across from the musician in a private exchange. Every vibration and emotion flows directly to you, creating a unique moment in time — unrepeatable, powerful, and deeply human.

At its core, this series reflects Alacran’s ethos: Empowering music, culture, and creativity. By giving artists the space to express freely, Alacran empowers us all to connect, feel, and create.
