P@SHA Startup Hub · brand options
01–03 Safe series04–06 Creative series07–09 Bold series

Nine logo and brand-identity directions for the P@SHA Startup Hub. Every option keeps the official P@SHA wordmark and the red @ untouched, per the 2026 brand guidelines. They share one palette and one typographic voice, so they read as a single family with nine expressions: three safe, three creative, three bold.

Safe series Option 01 · Lockup

The Horizontal Lockup

The official wordmark, a hairline divider, and “Startup Hub” set in the same voice, with the ecosystem tagline beneath.

  • Textbook sub-brand architecture: it reads as P@SHA presents, which carries exactly the institutional weight a Minister-fronted launch needs.
  • The parent association line stays intact, so the association and the Hub never compete for authorship.
  • The natural choice for formal surfaces: documents, MoUs, co-branded banners, press.

Safe series Option 02 · Descriptor Recommended primary

The Descriptor Swap

The existing logo’s exact structure, with the letterspaced line beneath the wordmark reading STARTUP HUB in brand red.

  • Literally cannot be called off-brand: it is the brandbook’s own layout doing the work.
  • The strongest at small sizes: favicon, social avatar, event badge, WhatsApp display picture.
  • Zero redraw risk before Friday: the fastest option to take to production.

Safe series Option 03 · App Tile Icon role

The Insignia Tile

The official white @ insignia on a red rounded tile, beside the wordmark and a red “Startup Hub.”

  • Gives the Hub what the committee instinctively wanted from the earlier concepts: a square mark that works as an app icon.
  • Built from the brandbook’s own standalone insignia, so the tile is native, not invented.
  • Pairs naturally with any primary option as the digital-product face of the Hub.

Creative series Option 04 · Orbit

The Orbit System

The red @ as the sun of the ecosystem, with startups as small bodies in orbit around it.

  • Says “P@SHA is the center of gravity of Pakistan’s startup ecosystem” without a word of copy.
  • The orbit dots animate naturally: a living version for the website hero and launch video.
  • Warm and optimistic where most tech marks are cold.

Creative series Option 05 · Trajectory Recommended alternative

The Launch Trajectory

The untouched wordmark with a single red launch curve rising off the @, startups mid-flight along the arc.

  • The most personality per gram of risk: the wordmark itself is never modified, the trajectory is an accessory element.
  • One clean gesture tells the whole story: startups launch from P@SHA.
  • Scales from a static mark to a motion identity: the curve draws itself in on load.

Creative series Option 06 · Roundel Stamp role

The Hub Roundel

A hub-and-spoke network badge: the @ at the hub, startup nodes on the rim, the full name and tagline in circular lettering.

  • The literal meaning of “hub,” drawn as a mark: a star network with P@SHA at the center.
  • Born for certification: a “Verified by the Hub” stamp on startup profiles, decks and reports.
  • The event workhorse: lanyards, stickers, stage floor decals, embossing.

Bold series Option 07 · Supergraphic Stage role

The Supergraphic

A giant white @ bleeding off a full-red field, with a razor-small text block holding the corner.

  • Extreme scale contrast as confidence: the move of institutions that no longer introduce themselves.
  • Purpose-built for large format: the CXO stage backdrop, report covers, social headers.
  • Photographs better than anything else in the set: the podium shot writes itself.

Bold series Option 08 · Murmuration Campaign role

The Murmuration

The @ built from hundreds of small dots pulling into formation, strays still joining the flock. 2,500 startups, one hub.

  • The deepest concept in the set: the hub is literally made of its startups.
  • A one-sentence stage story for the launch: “every dot on this mark is one of you.”
  • Endlessly extensible: the dots become data visualizations, city maps, sector clusters.

Bold series Option 09 · Truck Art Culture role

The Truck-Art Medallion

Pakistan’s most famous vernacular design language, disciplined to a strict red-and-charcoal duotone around the official @.

  • Unapologetically Pakistani and unmistakably P@SHA at the same time: nobody else in the ecosystem would dare it.
  • The merch piece every CXO attendee actually keeps: totes, stickers, gift boxes.
  • International guests photograph this one: PSEB, Ignite, foreign delegations.

Concept explorations, not final artwork. Every board reproduces the official P@SHA wordmark and @ insignia per the 2026 brand guidelines; the selected direction gets redrawn as clean vector artwork from the official .ai file before production (including the apostrophe in “Pakistan’s” where AI rendering dropped it). Print-spec values in the brandbook (#E92127 / #3E3932) map to the digital values shown here.
