About HanKkeut Brand Identity

HanKkeut is a brand identity for a series of grade school textbooks developed through collaboration between students and teachers. The brand objective is an all-in-one connection in learning. The cover graphic uses a connected stroke that emanates from the brand identity image to express a sense of ascension. The same stroke is applied to all HanKkeut books to create a consistent visual feature. Vivid colors, embossed textures and holographic stickers are used on the covers. Different age levels are distinguished by different cover colors.
