Zigurate book cover designs

Francisca Carvalho • October 7, 2025

As someone who has spent a lot of time poring over the shelves of bookstores, I have to say that the Portuguese publisher Zigurate has truly captivated me. The consistency in their cover designs is a visual delight, making their books easily recognisable while still allowing each title to stand on its own.


One of the things I love most about Zigurate's books is how they manage to balance uniformity with individuality. The structure of their cover design is always the same, which creates a strong brand identity. Whether it's the placement of the title, the author's name, or the use of geometric shapes, you can always recognise it’s a Zigurate.

For me, this consistency is incredibly appealing, making it like a personal signature. Yet, even within this structured framework, Zigurate's use of different images and colours brings life to each cover.


It represents the perfect blend of consistency and creativity in book design. The distinctive design philosophy makes each new release highly anticipated and I find myself constantly excited to see how they will visually interpret the next story.
