This portfolio piece showcases the collaborative design process for the Markhor sports car prototype. The project involved developing a unique visual identity, from the company logo to the car's exterior and interior. The goal was to create a sports car that feels both contemporary and classic, a vehicle that looks as good standing still as it does speeding down a highway. This work includes the initial design sketches, 3D prototype models, and a series of high-quality product and cinematic shots to present the car in various professional contexts.
The icon is a stylized, simplified profile of a Markhor. The Markhor is a large species of wild goat native to Central Asia. It's known for its distinctive horns. The most prominent feature, the horns, are a symbol of strength, power, and resilience.
The forward-facing posture of the head conveys a sense of forward momentum, speed, and determination, which are perfect for a sports car company.
The circular shape surrounding the markhor provides a sense of unity, completeness, and a contained power. It also makes the logo versatile for various applications, such as on the car's grille, wheels, or as a standalone icon.
