Kamikoto Knives

Branding design for a Japanese manufacturer of high quality steel knives. The logo is simple and the main concept is a cut between the Western version (on the left) and Japanese verision (on the right) of the name. The cut is a subtle element int the logo while being the only non-text element. For this cut idea I've been inspired by the art of Lucio Fontana and his canvases with cuts.
