The 'Chaap' logo embodies artisanal craftsmanship through three elements: hands, a weave-like knot, and a dot. The hands represent the skill and personal touch of artisans, the knot symbolizes the interconnected artisan community, and the dot signifies innovation and NIFT's role in blending tradition with modern design. These elements combine to form a cohesive and meaningful visual narrative in the form of one block.
The logo, inspired by the resort's roof design and its presence on the Harwan Mountain, and features shades of brown for a sophisticated, classy look. These colors will be used across all designs for uniformity. Simple, lightweight fonts complement the logo, offering a minimal and clean appearance.
