Abstract
This paper discusses in profiling Malaysian keris DNA and properties, to identify the core values and to build emotionally sustainable heritage brand recognition with the Nostalgia Sentimental Values (NSV) towards product design. In this research, the researcher’s focus is to build an emotionally sustainable Malay heritage by profiling Malaysian keris DNA & properties as one of its core value towards nostalgic sentimental values in brand recognition. To do so, the research requires a focus on building characteristics from profiling Malaysian keris properties and stories in tandem by designing a product itself. Hence, to establish Visual Branding Characteristic (VBC) as the core value of the product design where the abstract characteristic is part of the Malaysian Keris properties which can communicate through aesthetic elements either semantically or syntactically as a Visual Brand Language (VBL) cohesively building its Nostalgic Sentimental Values (NSV) as the core values in brand recognition towards Malaysian products. Eventually, it can be used as a future reference and as a benchmarking guideline in branding Malaysian identity towards product design.
