Marine Consultancy & Brokerage · Philadelphia, USA · Global Operations
JK Marine Services is a specialist marine consultancy and brokerage firm based in Philadelphia, operating globally. Founded and led by John Kalafatides — a seasoned industry veteran with decades of experience in marine lubricants, specialty chemicals and maritime commercial operations across the Americas, Mediterranean and Middle East.
For a business operating at this level, the brand needed to communicate trust, authority and precision from the very first impression. I designed the complete visual identity — logo, business cards and branded collateral — to position JK Marine as the professional, reliable partner their clients expect.
Logo
Design
The logo needed to strike a precise balance — maritime heritage meets modern corporate credibility. The final mark is clean, authoritative and instantly readable at any scale, from a PowerPoint slide to an embroidered hat. Presented across multiple colour variations to ensure flexibility across all branded touchpoints and environments.
Brand
Collateral
Once the logo was locked, the identity was rolled out across all branded materials — business cards, PowerPoint presentation templates, apparel and merchandise. Every application was designed with the same principle: the brand should feel premium, consistent and unmistakably professional, whether it's handed to a client at a meeting or worn on a vessel.
