The Setup

Jabar Masagi is the West Java Provincial Government's character-education program for high school students across the province. A government education program has to satisfy two audiences that rarely respond to the same design decisions: institutions that need to trust it, and teenagers who need to not roll their eyes at it.

02

The Ask

Working with Portside Studio, design the visual identity and the official brand guideline book (logos, cultural pattern libraries, icon systems, and promotional collateral), standardized enough to be published as an official manual for schools and regional education boards.

03

The Move

  • Designed the logomark and codified precise rules for grid construction, geometric cultural patterns, regional color values, and multilingual typography.
  • Built a cultural pattern library and icon system flexible enough to work across educational workbooks, student credentials, ceremony lanyards, and certificates.
  • Standardized the rollout across large-scale signage, school gate banners, and event stages, so the identity held up consistently across West Java's 27 regencies and cities.

The Numbers

01

An official, published brand guideline book adopted by high schools and regional education boards across West Java

02

A visual system implemented consistently across hundreds of schools, spanning print, environmental, and digital

05

The Bigger Picture

A government-scale rollout survives on more than a nice logo. It needs a system rigid enough to stay consistent across hundreds of implementers who will never speak to you directly.

Closing Insight
“Need a brand system built to survive contact with dozens of people implementing it without you in the room? That's this exact kind of problem.”
