:: About Cinemaya Media Group CinéMaya Media Group is a leading provider of high quality international South Asian media, entertainment, and marketing services. Established in 2000 as a vertically-integrated company, CinéMaya Media Group has since grown into a mini-conglomerate in the ethnic media landscape through its robust businesses within Media, Entertainment and Marketing.

:: BriefCinemaya Media Inc. rebranded as Cinemaya Media Group after its merger with Caltas Fitness and needed a new identity.-that of a young, dynamic, international ,integrated company.

Corporate Identity

Page 8: Design Mechanics an interactive creative and marketing agency

• Strong visual form• Although the symbol has all the four suits , it still supported the name ‘three’ .• The club which was a part of existing identity remains prominent here as well.•Symbol directly associated with the type of business

• Poor readability• No strong symbolic form -the use of club was not prominent , lower recall value.

Brief :• A visual symbol (preferably 3 dimensional) and a logotype which works well when used individually as well as combined depending on the area of application• Emphasis on the “number 3” teenpatti (three card poker)

Corporate Identity

Page 9: Design Mechanics an interactive creative and marketing agency

Thought Process:

A: Using the club as a symbol as an extension of the existing logo

Comments:The club symbol carries forward the existing identity to some extentStrong visual form but too simplistic to have a recall value of its own

B: Using three suits to support the name Teenpatti (three cards)

Comments:Lacking strong visual symbolUse of only 3 suits may give a wrong impression that teenpatti is played using cards having three suits only

Lacking single visual symbolUse of only 3 suits may give a wrong impression that teenpatti is played using cards having three suits only

Use of only 3 suits may give a wrong impression that teenpatti is played using cards having three suits only

• Too many ads – looks more of a promotional site than an information site.

• Too many moving/flashy elements on the site which distract the user while navigating.

• Poor space utilization for providing possible information

• Though there are 2 separate links- “Makaan Search” and “Search properties in India” on the same page, the contents are similar.

• Inconsistency in the way headings are written e.g. ‘Registration benefits’, ‘makaan search’ and ‘have a house for rent’ have different treatments.

• Property poll is for the casual visitor so it should cover less space and can be moved further down
