Scope: Brand architecture, brand identity, communication strategy
An endorsed brand architecture model represents a strategic hybrid in which individual sub-brands operate with their own identities and target audiences, while the corporate brand serves in the background as a direct guarantor of quality, credibility, and trust.
CHALLENGE:
Tradition Is Not Enough When the System Lacks Cohesion
Kovinoplastika Lož is a group with more than 70 years of tradition and a portfolio of brands spanning segments from architectural hardware and kitchen solutions to industrial tooling, component design, and manufacturing.
The corporate brand encompassed all the necessary attributes, yet this very breadth became the source of the core challenge. Each brand within the portfolio had developed independently. Relationships between brands were undefined, roles were unclear, and value transfer occurred more by chance than by strategy.
As a result, the corporate brand—the one carrying the group’s heritage, certifications, and collective strength—was not gaining value. It appeared corporate, but not authoritative. The sub-brands communicated as standalone entities, fragmenting the brand equity they should have been building together.
Brand Architecture as the Solution
To enable sustainable growth and market expansion, it was necessary to establish a clearly structured brand architecture, define the relationships between the corporate brand and its sub-brands, and precisely determine the role of each brand within the system: whom it addresses, what it receives from the corporate brand, and what value it contributes back.
A Sub-Brand with Character and a Clear Identity
The sub-brand KOVINOtools already had a name but lacked a distinct visual identity.
The goal was to create a visual system that would function as part of the broader family of company brands while simultaneously reflecting KOVINOtools’ specific expertise and professional focus. The logo was therefore built around recognizable elements and components derived from its manufacturing environment, representing the core of the company’s knowledge and competencies.
The final solution combines technical precision, industrial character, and a contemporary design language. The result is a logo that clearly communicates the brand’s expertise and innovative spirit while maintaining a strong visual connection to the Kovinoplastika Lož corporate identity.
A Brand Book as a Tool, Not a Document
Everything we defined was consolidated into a brand book that is not merely a collection of guidelines but an operational brand compass: clear, practical, and designed to support future decision-making. It provides the group with a unified language, a shared direction, and a common understanding of what Kovinoplastika Lož is, what it stands for, and how it expresses itself. Kovinoplastika Lož now has more than a well-organized identity—it has a tool that helps guide, protect, and develop the brand, ensuring that every future decision can be based on the same clear strategic logic.
Communication That Knows Its Audience
The brand architecture also informed the communication strategy. We developed detailed personas for each portfolio entity and defined both primary and secondary messages: what the corporate brand communicates and how each sub-brand adapts that message to its specific audience. The result is a two-tier communication system: shared credibility at the top and precise audience targeting below.
RESULT:
A System Built for Growth
Today, Kovinoplastika Lož presents itself as a group with a clearly defined identity. The corporate brand has a distinct essence, positioning, and role: to connect, guide, and build value across the entire group. At the same time, the sub-brands have clearly defined identities, differentiated target audiences, and a shared communication framework that is flexible enough to adapt to different markets while remaining consistent enough to strengthen overall brand recognition rather than dilute it.
