Sharlot

SHARLOT vend et exporte des produits du tabac. Son logo associe de façon créative forme et couleur pour exprimer l’identité de la marque. Deux éléments principaux, un lion et des feuilles de tabac, renforcent le lien entre la marque et ses clients.

Le lion symbolise la puissance, l’élégance et l’authenticité. Avec ses lignes courbes, ses proportions précises, son regard droit et sa posture tournée vers l’avant, il inspire confiance et assurance.

Les couleurs renvoient aux produits du tabac. Le jaune, joyeux et attirant, capte l’attention ; l’orange apporte enthousiasme et élan ; le brun crée un attachement aux valeurs et aux traditions, symbole de tradition et de solidité.

Sharlot emerged as a distinguished international brand dedicated to the sale and export of premium tobacco and hookah products. Recognizing the necessity for a visual presence that matches the uncompromised caliber of its products, the brand partnered with Mouneskhah Studio to engineer a comprehensive identity system. The brand’s foundation was built upon the synthesis of nature and authority—merging the organic essence of the tobacco leaf with the commanding presence of a lion. From its inception, Sharlot was positioned not merely as a commodity, but as a global symbol of luxury, structural integrity, and unwavering quality.

We lead with authority, luxury, and undeniable market dominance.

The Sharlot primary logo is the ultimate visual ambassador of our brand. It is a masterful synthesis of nature and authority—merging the organic essence of the tobacco leaf with the commanding presence of a lion. Designed with smooth, decisive lines and absolute symmetrical proportions, this primary lock-up projects unwavering confidence, luxury, and trust. It must be treated with the utmost respect and serves as the cornerstone of all global packaging, corporate communications, and export materials.

Together, they communicate a singular message: Sharlot is the undisputed king of premium tobacco, offering a product that is both organically authentic and fiercely superior in quality.

The Sharlot logo is not an arbitrary illustration; it is a meticulously engineered geometric system. Built upon a strict modular grid, the design relies on perfect symmetrical proportions to evoke stability, reliability, and security in the minds of our consumers. The curves of the tobacco leaf and the angular mane of the lion follow harmonious mathematical ratios, ensuring the emblem remains balanced and authoritative at any scale.

To preserve the prestige and visual impact of the Sharlot emblem, it must never be crowded by typography, imagery, or other graphic elements. The exclusion zone (Clear Space) is mathematically defined by the height of the letter "S" from the Sharlot wordmark. This measurement dictates the absolute minimum breathing room required around the perimeter of the logo on all applications.

To ensure flawless adaptability across all physical and digital touchpoints, the Sharlot logo exists in carefully engineered variations: Primary Full-Color (Stacked): The preferred variation for all central branding, featuring the lion emblem centered above the Sharlot wordmark. Horizontal Lock-up: Designed for landscape applications, such as website headers and narrow packaging labels, where vertical space is restricted. Monochrome & Reversed: Single-color variations (Absolute Black and Pure White) designed for specialized printing techniques like embossing, debossing, and premium metallic foil stamping (gold/copper) on dark tobacco packaging.

To preserve the visual authority and structural integrity of the Sharlot emblem, its interaction with various backgrounds is strictly defined. The full-color primary lock-up is designed to remain highly legible across multiple brand-approved backgrounds:

Digital Minimum: The primary lock-up must remain at least 64px in width on digital screens to preserve the legibility of the Sharlot wordmark.

For digital micro-spaces, social media avatars, and application icons, the Sharlot wordmark is removed to maximize legibility. The App Icon relies solely on the Lion & Tobacco Leaf Monogram. This standalone emblem captures the entire essence of the brand and is optimized to remain crisp and recognizable even at dimensions as small as 16x16 pixels.

Because the Sharlot logo is built on absolute geometric symmetry, its placement must respect this balance.

Primary Placement: Center alignment is highly preferred, especially on vertical hookah packaging and premium boxes, anchoring the design with authority.

Secondary Placement: When center alignment is impossible (e.g., corporate letterheads or business cards), the logo should be anchored in the top-left or bottom-right corners, strictly adhering to the margins defined by the Exclusion Zone.

Les couleurs de l'identité et leurs références.

The Sharlot color story is a visual narrative directly inspired by the brand's core semiotic elements: the lion and the tobacco leaf. The palette forms an organic chromatic transition from the rich, earthy tones of dried tobacco leaves to the vibrant, energetic hues associated with the lion. This system transitions through six distinct steps, forming a geometric and radial harmony that balances deep, grounding tones with luminous, warm accents.

The official Sharlot color palette consists of a carefully calibrated spectrum ranging from bright yellow through fiery oranges to a deep, grounding brown. The absolute color values are defined as follows:

The primary typeface designated for the Sharlot brand is Adobe Arabic. Designed by Robert Slimbach and Tim Holloway for Adobe Originals, this versatile typeface is utilized to strike a perfect balance between the rich tradition of Arabic script and the functional needs of modern digital typography. Within the Sharlot visual architecture, Adobe Arabic is applied directly to the core brand wordmark ("SHARLOT") and its supporting subtext ("Cigarettes Tobacco Hookah"). The font was designed with cultural sensitivity and practical functionality in mind, allowing for the smooth integration of Arabic typography into contemporary design projects, especially in the digital realm.

The Sharlot Brand Pattern is a seamless, repeating geometric motif extracted directly from the smooth, symmetrical lines of the lion’s mane and the veins of the tobacco leaf. Rendered in subtle tonal variations (e.g., a dark brown pattern on a slightly lighter brown background), this texture is utilized as a premium supporting asset. It is primarily applied to the interior lining of tobacco boxes, wrapping tissue paper, and the background of high-end corporate stationery to provide a rich, tactile brand experience.

Structural Grid & Typography: The Sharlot business card design is governed by a precise structural grid. All textual and visual elements must align based on predefined mathematical proportions. The card utilizes a strict typographic hierarchy: the individual’s name is set in a heavier weight, while the job title and contact information are set in lighter weights to guide the reader’s eye. Production Rules: A minimum of 3mm bleed and a 5mm safe zone from the trim edge are mandatory. Altering the logo proportions or using unapproved color palettes is strictly prohibited. The letterhead relies on a constant scale factor for the header (logo and date positioning) and footer (contact details). The content area must maintain strict margins (minimum 25mm) to ensure ample negative space for visual breathing room. Watermark Guidelines: If a watermark is applied, the Sharlot logo must be centered within the content grid, rendered in monochrome with a maximum opacity of 5% to 10% to prevent compromising document legibility.

Brand Presence: The Sharlot logo acts as a minimal anchor in the header or footer. Intrusive graphic devices that consume the writable negative space are strictly forbidden. Micro-Scale Application: Constrained by physical printing areas (pad printing or laser engraving), only the simplified lockup or standalone emblem of the Sharlot logo may be used. Legibility Rules: The design relies on a single-color execution. Complex contact details or taglines must be omitted; a simple URL alongside the logo represents the maximum allowable information.

Spatial Alignment: Designed for standard formats (DL and C4), the envelope layout dictates that the Sharlot logo is positioned in the top-left (or top-right, depending on regional postal standards) adhering to its designated clear space. Clearance Zones: The top-right quadrant is strictly reserved as a blank space for postage stamps and postal seals. Sender information must follow a structured, grid-based layout either on the back flap or anchored to the bottom edge. Brand Architecture: The complete Sharlot stationery set functions as a cohesive visual ecosystem. Graphic devices, color palettes, and typographic grids must maintain structural harmony across all physical dimensions. Scale Logic: Stroke weights and spatial relationships scale proportionally using a mathematical constant, ensuring the brand identity feels identical whether viewed on a small card or a large folder.

Data Zone Architecture: Mailing labels require a strictly functional layout partitioned into specific geometric zones for the sender (Sharlot), recipient data, and barcode/postage clearance. Contrast Optimization: The background of the recipient data area must remain pure white to optimize legibility for automated thermal reading systems. Flexible Grid Implementation: Formatted for standard sticker sheets, these labels feature a dynamic grid structure that supports consistent line spacing and precise left or right text alignment depending on the language. Identity Isolation: The Sharlot logo is spatially isolated (typically on the left axis), allowing the contact typography to anchor securely beside it, ensuring maximum clarity at small scales.

Cover Composition: The exterior cover embraces geometric minimalism, placing the Sharlot logo along the golden ratio or central grid line. The inner pockets feature functional typography and precision-cut slits for standard business cards. Structural Grid Networks: Sharlot’s packaging layout is governed by a strict spatial grid. Each panel (front, side, back) operates on a defined visual hierarchy. Information Hierarchy: The product name, key attributes, and barcodes are segregated into distinct geometric blocks to maximize clarity. Print finishing techniques (e.g., spot UV, foil stamping) must be mapped on separate spot-color layers with adequate safety margins.

Responsive Grid System: The Sharlot website architecture is built upon a flexible 12-column structural grid. This mathematical logic governs all spatial relationships, ensuring seamless responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints. Typographic Hierarchy & UI: Web typography strictly follows the brand's scale factors. UI elements (buttons, navigation) rely on generous negative space to guide the user's eye, maintaining a clean, premium digital presence without visual clutter.

Pixel Perfection: The favicon represents the most distilled visual anchor of the brand. It exclusively utilizes the Sharlot monogram or simplified emblem, optimized for pixel grids at standard sizes (16x16px, 32x32px, and 512x512px for app clips). Micro-Legibility: High contrast and strict adherence to the brand’s core color palette are mandatory to ensure immediate recognition in crowded browser tabs.

8pt Grid System: The Sharlot digital interface relies on a rigorous 8pt spatial grid. Padding, margins, and component dimensions scale mathematically in multiples of 8, enforcing ultimate structural harmony. Interaction Design: Minimum touch target sizes (e.g., 44x44px) are mandated. State changes (hover, active, disabled) for buttons and inputs use carefully calibrated shade variations from the official color palette.

The language must reflect Sharlot’s brand tone—direct, professional, and elegant. Visual Restraint: The use of emojis or supplementary icons is tightly controlled. Only brand-approved, flat vector icons are permitted to accompany the primary message.

Circular Safety Zones: Profile avatars must center the Sharlot logo perfectly within a circular mathematical grid, maintaining a minimum of 15% clear space from the cropping edge to prevent visual tension. Cover Art Composition: Banner and cover images must utilize a central focal structure, ensuring key brand messages and architectural geometry remain fully visible across both mobile and desktop safe zones. Structural Geometry (Squircle): App icons adhere to strict OS-level guidelines (e.g., Apple’s squircle mathematical proportion). The icon design must rely solely on geometric simplicity, stripping away all text or complex taglines. Visual Balance: The background employs the primary brand color, grounding the negative space, while the emblem sits centrally, scaled to perfection within the specific icon grid.

The Sharlot logo is placed using a vertical center axis or a left-chest grid mapped consistently across all sizing variations (S to XXL). Contrast & Breathing Room: Solid brand colors are preferred for the fabric. The logo must maintain an expansive clear space, allowing the apparel to feel like a premium fashion item rather than a promotional billboard.

Emblem Isolation: Only the standalone Sharlot emblem or a heavily simplified logo lockup is permitted. It must be perfectly centered on the front panels, ensuring legibility despite the fabric's curvature and seam lines.

The Sharlot logo is restricted to a small, mathematically precise grid on the left chest or the sleeve hem, utilizing high-quality embroidery.

Visual Center of Gravity: The Sharlot logo must anchor the visual center of gravity on the main face of the bag. Negative Space Mastery: Cluttered backgrounds are prohibited. The design utilizes expansive brand colors and negative space to project premium structural elegance. Secondary information (website, tagline) is minimized and anchored to the side gussets or bottom margin. Proportional Constraints: Due to their varying applications, stickers must never reproduce the logo below the minimum allowable size defined in the brand guidelines. Die-cut Safety: A rigid safety margin of at least 3mm to 4mm from the cutting edge to any core element (logo or typography) is mandatory to accommodate mechanical cutting tolerances.

Environmental Integration: As an interior design element, the pillow must subtly integrate the Sharlot identity into physical spaces. Golden Ratio Composition: The logo or monogram must be anchored centrally or offset according to the golden ratio. Continuous geometric brand patterns (step-and-repeat) are highly recommended for a sophisticated lifestyle aesthetic.

Vertical Axis: The Sharlot logo must always align along the strict vertical center axis of the phone. Backgrounds should utilize pure brand colors or micro-patterns, ensuring the logo remains the uncontested focal point.

Die-Cut Geometry: Custom keychains must directly inherit the geometric outline of the Sharlot logo or emblem. Durability & Micro-Branding: Manufactured in premium metal or high-grade leather, the design strips away all secondary text. Deep laser engraving or physical die-casting are the standard production methods to ensure longevity.

Linear Rhythm: Lanyards demand a continuous linear grid. The Sharlot logo and brand name must follow a precise step-and-repeat rhythm. Visual Fatigue Prevention: The negative space between each logo repetition must be strictly calculated (typically 1.5x the width of the logo) to prevent visual clutter and maintain legibility at a distance.

Execution: Only the bare Sharlot monogram or icon is permitted. No URLs, taglines, or secondary names. The emblem must align with the physical form factor of the casing, ensuring structural harmony.

Functional Surface Design: For micro-fiber cleaning cloths, functionality supersedes aggressive branding. Pattern vs. Anchor: The design can utilize a highly subtle, low-opacity brand pattern covering the entire surface, or alternatively, maintain a pure solid color with a small, high-contrast logo anchored precisely in the bottom-right corner grid.

The Sharlot logo must be mathematically centered on the primary lid. High-end finishing techniques, such as foil stamping or blind debossing on matte structural paper, are the standard requirements.

The Sharlot identity is presented on high-grade uncoated paper stock to reinforce the brand's tactile premium feel.

Day/Night Mechanics: The Sharlot logo must be optimized for both daylight visibility and nocturnal illumination (e.g., backlit channel letters). Scale factors are strictly constrained relative to the fascia's height to maintain elegant negative space. Overcrowding the signboard with secondary text is prohibited.

The Sharlot branding acts as a subtle endorsement (often placed uniformly in a corner) without competing with the directional data.

The Sharlot logo sits at the very top axis to command the space.

The Sharlot logo is typically anchored in an isolated corner zone (usually bottom-right or top-left) with a dramatically expanded clear space to assert dominance.

Actionable Typography: The top segment captures attention with bold typography, the middle retains focus with imagery, and the bottom structural grid serves as the action zone (housing the Sharlot logo, CTA, or QR codes aligned systematically).

The Sharlot logo must be vector-sharp and optionally mirrored for inside-out application (protecting the decal from external weather or vandalism).

Hoist-Side Anchoring: The Sharlot logo must be anchored closely to the hoist (the side attached to the flagpole) rather than strictly centered. This ensures the brand identity remains visible even when the flag is not fully unfurled. Pure, high-contrast brand colors are mandatory to prevent visual fading against the sky.

Focal Integrity: Core identity elements (the Sharlot logo and primary message) must be strategically positioned on flat, uninterrupted panels. Key contact numbers and web addresses are isolated on the cabin doors or the rear tail-lift for maximum read time in traffic.
