The Design

About Dragonpass Brand Identity

Dragonpass is a brand identity designed for a membership benefit and travel services provider. The new symbol combines the trace of a magic wand with the initial letter D, forming a dynamic mark that crosses several dimensions. The original red palette is extended with purple and further tones to give the identity a more fashionable character. Auxiliary graphics add flexibility across applications. The simplified visual system replaces an aging emblem and supports a more international brand image.

Production Technology: Based on the brand personality of Magician, the design team used the concept of magical wand trace and combined it with the initial letter "D" of DragonPass for the design. The new logo of DragonPass is dynamic, with magical wand trace crossing multiple dimensions, symbolizing that DragonPass will always bring surprises to it’s clients and users.In addition, the design team built upon the original red-dominated visual identity by adding elegant and fashionable colors like purple, making DragonPass even more attractive.
Design Challenge: The challenge in this case is to inherit and reshape the brand's original visual image, which must comply with the development of visual trends without completely deviating from the original impression. To achieve this, the design team refined and innovated elements based on DragonPass's original visual assets, aligning with the corporate culture and catering to popular aesthetic concepts. At the same time, they added a sense of freshness and appeal to the brand's visual image.
Research: As a global intelligent travel service platform, DragonPass takes quality travel as the core, has built a member service system covering travel, health, living, entertainment and other lifestyle scenes. In the field of airport lounges providers, it has been ranked the first in Asia Pacific and the second in the world in the global service network.
Inspiration: The original brand identity of DragonPass was a dragon emblem, which is an element of Eastern culture. As a global enterprise originating from China, DragonPass should have greater cultural inclusivity, and its brand image needs a more internationalized revamp.The design team, through co-creation with the company's management team, refined a new inspiring mission for DragonPass: "Going For New Aspirations." They also used the Magician archetype from the brand personality model as the basis for the brand image design.
Project Duration: The project began in Guangzhou in May 2022 and launched in Guangzhou in February 2023.
Operation Flow: The new VI reduces complexity and returns to a simple appeal, making it easier to be recognized and disseminated in all scenarios.
