To design a visually compelling logo that embodies the adventurous spirit and enigmatic allure of the “Karabas Barabas” table game, thereby enhancing brand recognition and market appeal.

Central Figure – Karabas-Barabas with a Key:
The logo features a distinctive and memorable silhouette of Karabas-Barabas — a bearded character wearing black sunglasses and holding a key. This central image evokes mystery, authority, and control, perfectly capturing the imaginative and strategic spirit of a tabletop game.

Expressive Lines:
The lines and contours of the character and key are bold and dynamic, conveying energy, charisma, and a touch of theatrical flair. These elements reflect the playful yet slightly eerie tone of the game world.

Versatility:
The logo is designed to work seamlessly across various media — from game boxes and merchandise to digital platforms. Its strong visual identity holds up at both small and large scales, ensuring maximum impact in any context.
