Three talisman stones in a circle: a brand for a five-star ski resort in Mongolia

Chinggis Khaan Valley is a development in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, with a five-star ski resort and 300 villas on 68 hectares. Andrew Sakhno created its logo, brand book and corporate identity, built the website and wrote every word on it, and made the presentation for investors and the authorities.

The website: “5★ Ski resort”.

The task

Create the brand of the development: the logo, brand book and identity, the website with all its copy, and a presentation for investors and the authorities.

Constraints

  • One deck for two very different audiences: investors and the authorities.

My part

The whole brand: I created the logo, the brand book and the identity, built the website, wrote all of its content and made the presentation.

Key decisions

  1. A logo of three chandmani talisman stones held inside a circle.

    Why: In the brand book, chandmani is the wish-granting talisman, and its three stones stand for the past, the present and the future. The circle is the one line with no beginning and no end; it stands for the sky.

  2. Navy and gold, with Ginger and Montserrat as the type pair.

  3. A website that states the scale in big numbers: a 5★ ski resort, 300 villas, 68 hectares.

How it was done

  • Designed the logo: three chandmani talisman stones for past, present and future, held by a circle, a line with no beginning and no end.
  • Developed the brand book, covering the logo construction, colour and usage variations and a type pairing of Ginger and Montserrat.
  • Created the corporate identity: business cards and letterhead in navy and gold.
  • Built the website and wrote all of its content.
  • Made the presentation for investors and the authorities.

What was delivered

The brand, the website and the presentation were delivered in 2024. The site has since gone offline; the screens on this page are from the original build.
