RAMZES666 Launches Personal Brand “666”
RAMZES666 has also just revealed his new brand names as “666.” Quberten Studio has helped RAMZES666 develop the brand and they explained the reason behind it.
The logo contains the numbers, 666, in trident form which represents the three lanes in Dota 2.Further, the sixes are divided into six equal parts representing each of R-A-M-Z-E-S.
“Gothic aesthetics have many transformations so that it stays updated within any era. Even now, young rappers, filmmakers, and sports clubs (for example, Arsenal FC) are turning to her bold and contrasting plastics. The sign is based on the three sixes from Roman’ nickname. A strong, partly sinister energy is transmitted through the Gothic, which is reinterpreted in the spirit of the times through street graphics. At the junction of the two approaches, a sharp and recognizable style emerges. The logo is rich in esports easter eggs. ‘Sixes’ are divided into equal parts and semantically strengthen the connection with the ‘RAMZES666’. The negative space of numbers formed a trident, and its plastic reminds of three lanes in Dota 2.”
Though not revealed, the brand is likely to deal with computer and phone accessories.
RAMZES666 seems to be the only player enjoying a lot of fame and success outside the space of Dota 2. The Russian has been able to garner a global fan base as a result of these exclusive partnerships. His launch of a new brand will only help the player reach new heights.
