Vijay Raheja Design Construction | Property Brochure
78 W. Expressway is the latest addition to the already expansive list of VRDC properties that would become an iconic part of the Mumbai skyline. VGC has designed the property brochure for this landmark project. Clean layout, beautiful pictures, precise text and clever icons and a bold usage a silver foil stamping come together to form a beautifully efficent corporate property brochure for VRDC.
Fosters | Rebranding Art of chilling
Foster's is a uniquely Australian beer and is still recognized as one of the world's best beers even after 100 years. VGC was given the opportunity to design Foster’s lounges around the theme of the Foster’s brand proposition, ‘The Art of Chilling’. While internationally, The Art of Chilling is usually synonymous with beach, surf etc, we thought that the Indian idea of The Art of Chilling was completely different. A quick survey suggested that a negligible number of Indian consumers equated chilling to surfing. Hence, the entire Art of Chilling concept had to be localized to appeal to Indian consumers.

Preeti Vyas Curates and Presents Designomics, a series on Logo for Bloomberg UTV
Designomics is a series on Logo for Bloomberg UTV, which I will curate and present from the vantage point of Indian businesses that have understood Design and its various disciplines as a vital business tool and integrated it in their growth stories.
The Design Industry is fast graduating from a boutique cottage Industry to a strategic and savvy activity, aiming to create a robust ROI for businesses through what I call, Designomics.
The Universe of Design specializations is growing vastly. It ranges from Branding to packaging, to Digital, to Furniture, Automobile, environmental and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Design as a profession is increasingly emerging out of being the afterthought, only to be brought in at the end for cosmetic beautification to being integrated into the very inception of the business process.
This is because enlightened companies have realized that strategic Design has the power to partner them in their growth and profitability.
Of course, there are innumerable international case studies, which show the success of integrating Design across key business interfaces.
But what is truly heartening is that within India too there are many illustrations of how businesses have prospered by using intelligent design in a rapidly crowded and complex marketplace.
The sheer volume of products and services operating in a single domain has risen rapidly and exponentially. As has new categories of businesses. Added to that, India has embraced scale almost overnight. Take retail for example; it went from the local Kirana to the Mall model almost overnight. Business ambitions are no longer shy. Thinking big and thinking Global is the mantra of all Indian businesses.
Against this backdrop, Designomics will bring to you vibrant stories of how diversified conglomerates, Business to business, or consumer facing companies, have added value through Design by integrating different Design specializations into key stages of their business ecology. We will track companies like Mahindra and Mahindra, Titan, and Godrej in the coming segments and see how they have practiced Designomics.
Here is a quick glimpse of what’s coming up next week. You know him as the Chairman of a large Indian multinational. Now meet Kumar Mangalam Birla as an early believer in strategic Brand Design who united a diversified conglomerate under the umbrella of a single power brand
So whether you represent a business, or are an entrepreneur, or of course are a Designer, come watch Designomics and see how you can profit from Design.

An iconic brand gets refreshed, repositioned and revitalized.
Aditya Birla Group, has recently launched its refreshed Logo and comprehensive Brand Architecture for its various group companies designed by Vyas Giannetti Creative.
It is in many ways a historic moment for us, as Aditya Birla Group was VGC’s first and continuing client over a decade ago, when we had created the branding and group architecture which was relevant for that time. In keeping with the changing times VGC, as ABG’s brand custodian, were asked to refresh the brand Identity.
In a recent study conducted by the Aditya Birla Group, the group has been named as India’s second most trusted brand. The logo refreshment was of immense importance as it is in keeping pace with the growing brand equity of Aditya Birla Group. Considering Aditya Birla is merely a 12 year old brand, it is indeed a commendable achievement and the new identity needed to reflect that.
As the fundamentals of the logo design were sound, VGC retaining the existing form & structure, proceeded to only graphically refine the logo. The colours were brightened and the name made bigger, bolder and complimented a robust visual language and architecture. However this small graphic step reflects the giant strides made by the group; which is to move the name Aditya Birla into a prominent position. Enhanced vibrancy of the colours and bold typography enunciates the mother brand’s leadership position.
