IDENTITY
IDENTITY
The symbol The symbol integrates a folded paper, which forms an M enclosed in a circle. The idea of this was to show the two main elements of print - paper and the circle representing overlay of the CMYK dots forming a correct registration.

MUDRIKA GRAPHICS
Symbol grid The grid must be followed in case of replication of symbol onto a bigger surface. The symbol may be painted onto a display board or any of the printing machines.

IDENTITY
Symbol construction The symbol is constucted with a circle cut by 45° lines, which is continued as a brand style. No sharp edge is provided in the symbol, which must be kept in mind while reconstruction or replication. The letter M in the symbol is formed by the folded top left corner of the paper.
