About this project

Cumar is a leading fabricator of natural stone, working with architects, designers, and builders on high-end residential and commercial projects. As the firm’s portfolio and reputation grew, the existing brand no longer reflected the quality, precision, and longevity of the work itself. The rebrand needed to elevate perception, positioning Cumar not as a supplier, but as a trusted craft partner.

The identity was conceived with restraint, allowing material to take precedence. The logo combines the basic shape of a square, referencing a room, with a graphic “C:”, creating a mark grounded in space, structure, and fabrication. Typography and a neutral palette were selected for clarity and durability, forming a system built on proportion, balance, and permanence rather than stylistic gesture.

Photography functions as narrative rather than documentation. As an eighth-generation family company, Cumar’s legacy informed a campaign that introduced children and grandchildren into the imagery, using stone as the setting for scenes inspired by storytelling. By placing family within the material itself, the work connects craft across generations, presenting stone not only as a finished surface, but as a backdrop for lived experience.

Messaging was developed to articulate expertise, process, and care. Rather than emphasizing scale or inventory, the language focuses on knowledge, precision, and stewardship of material. Across signage, print, vehicles, and editorial materials, the brand presents a cohesive presence that mirrors the discipline behind every installation.
