Problem

Alt Carbon planned Southeast Asia’s first carbon-dioxide removal summit, with sessions in New Delhi and Darjeeling, the founders’ hometown and field site. The brief was to create a brand that felt modern and distinctly Indian, paid tribute to Darjeeling’s landscape, and highlighted the Global South as a driving force in climate action, placing Darjeeling at the center of the story.

Solution

We developed a colorful, dynamic identity that scales across print, digital, and spatial applications. A high-contrast palette and contemporary typography stand out against Darjeeling’s lush greens and crowded venues. A modular collage system using real images, field notes, and documentation keeps the brand tactile and relatable. The system is easy to reproduce and stays coherent across themes and formats.

Work Details

The identity captures Darjeeling’s essence and the charged energy of climate tech with a system that is vibrant, playful, and unmistakably modern. Starting strong with the logo which encapsulated the hills and the tea leaves, which is so special to the terrain of Darjeeling. The logo was the direct depiction of the land, that the company was proud of. We moved away from the usual “green” palette and chose high-contrast colors that pop against Darjeeling’s lush hills, giving the conference instant visibility. Typography is bold yet friendly, built for legibility in rooms and on the hillside. Collateral uses a collage language that brings people, landscape, tools, and the productive chaos of the field into one frame. The logo, patterns, and compositions carry quiet cues from Darjeeling—terrace steps, contour lines, tea-soil textures—so every touchpoint feels rooted in place. The result builds clear recall across badges, banners, decks, and briefs, and keeps the Global South story front and center.
