Unique Properties

Kakao AI Campus was created by Kakao Corp. to develop a future AI blueprint for the community.
Open not only to Kakao staff but also to members of local communities, civic groups, and digitally disadvantaged people, it serves as an alternative community to nurture AI talent while implementing ESG principles.
A comprehensive BX design was developed for this symbolic space, establishing principles for operation and designing practical experience programs.
By creating an innovative design that departed from Kakao’s existing identity, the project provided fresh inspiration within the company and fostered an atmosphere for internal branding.

Dimensions & Packaging

We developed hip and refined graphics, a departure from the typical designs of large corporations, by using Morphing Motion design that transforms.
Reflecting the MZ generation’s lifestyle, we created design elements representing individual identity, completing a
multidimensional experience system with key visuals, illustrations and signage was built around the theme of 'boundless potential of individuals".
The experience design reflects insights from our customer journey analysis.
We maximized visual impact by using an innovative color scheme that breaks away from Kakao’s traditional main color identity guidelines.

Design Challenge

As a platform for global AI talent to explore their potential, the space is designed to put ESG philosophy into practice by supporting and nurturing citizens to build a better future for the community rather than focusing solely on corporate profit.
This initiative lays the groundwork for developing global talent for a brighter future and revitalizing local communities across Korea.
A sophisticated and witty design system was developed to communicate these activities and encourage participation more effectively.

Research

Kakao AI Campus offers a new paradigm for corporate campuses, focusing on interactive self-growth rather than one-sided, profit-driven training.
The flexible and adaptable space and visual design accommodate diverse individual needs, ensuring higher brand accessibility for all.
The guiding principle of Open Imagination in experience design opens up new possibilities for collaboration and mutual growth with the local community.
This innovative approach is expected to set a new benchmark in the industry.

Inspiration

Over 50 icon assets were created and stylish graphics with morphing motion were developed, designed to resonate with Millennials and Gen Z while breaking away from conventional corporate aesthetics.
These elements evolved into a multi-dimensional experience system of visuals, illustrations, and signage centered on the theme of boundless potential of individuals.
Traditional universal design icons were integrated into key visuals, using a visible Exformation design approach.
