Berk Yapı is a Turkish construction brand whose logo was originally designed by Sait Maden in 1992, according to the logo archive Logos & Brands.[1] The archive categorizes the mark as a construction brand from Turkey and describes it as a “stripes” logo with a “Turkey stripes shape.”[1]
Design and History
Sait Maden (1931-2013) was a Turkish translator, poet, painter and graphic designer.[2] He designed around 500 logos over his career, along with roughly 8,000 book and magazine covers, and was among the founders of the Graphic Artists Association in 1969.[3] Maden compiled his logo designs in a 1990 book titled “Simgeler” (Icons).[3]
The Berk Yapı symbol is dated to 1992, the same year the company’s architecture office was established in Uşak by Osman Yıldırım Oktay.[1][4] The office has continued under the partnership of Hayrullah Oktay (since 2016) and Oğuzhan Oktay (since 2019).[4]
Meaning and Symbolism
The Logos & Brands archive describes the Berk Yapı mark as featuring a “stripes” shape with a “Turkey stripes” motif.[1] The archive does not provide information on the designer’s stated meaning behind the mark.
Typography and Design
No official documentation has been found specifying the typography, exact color values, or construction method of the Berk Yapı logo. The only documented design characteristic is the striped, Turkey-shaped form noted by the Logos & Brands archive.[1]
