How can we encapsulate the terminal’s extensive experience and history in the B2B sector through visual language?
Despite being a premier cargo terminal in Lithuania—servicing over 900 vessels per year with a capacity of 6 million tons—KKT’s visual identity has remained unchanged since its inception in 1996. Even after its renaming to Klaipeda Container Terminal, the logo stayed the same. The outdated logo became insufficient to represent the company’s significant growth and evolution over 25 years.
It was only after visiting the terminal and witnessing the operations firsthand—the immense containers stacked high, cranes as tall as five-story buildings operating with near-perfect precision—that we realized the logo and overall visual identity must reflect this structured boldness. The container, central to the terminal’s operations, inspired the new logo, designed to convey stability and reliability and often used as the sole graphic element on various brand assets.
We created a custom block letter typeface based on the logotype. It’s a bold modular typeface used to create strong typographic visuals which is one of the key identifiers of KKT’s visual identity.
Improved Recognition: The brand update has served as a statement of enhanced client care in the B2B sector.
Simplified Communication: The new visual language architecture has enabled teams and individuals to utilize brand elements more effectively.
Defined Value: The refreshed brand identity more clearly communicates the company’s value.
