About Dragonpass Dearbh-aithne Branda

'S e dearbh-aithne branda a th' ann an Dragonpass a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson solaraiche sochairean ballrachd agus seirbheisean siubhail. Tha an samhla ùr a' cur còmhla lorg slat-draoidheachd agus a' chiad litir D, a' cruthachadh comharra beothail a tha a' dol thairis air grunn thomhasan. Tha am pailead dearg tùsail air a leudachadh le purpaidh agus tuilleadh dhathan gus caractar nas fhasanta a thoirt don dearbh-aithne. Tha grafaigean taiceil a' cur sùbailteachd ris thar iomadh cleachdadh. Tha an siostam lèirsinneach simplichte a' dol an àite suaicheantais a bha a' fàs aosta agus a' toirt taic do ìomhaigh branda nas eadar-nàiseanta.

Unique Properties: As the world second largest and the No.1 Asia-Pacific membership benefit solutions service provider, DragonPass has encountered a new strategic transformation opportunity. However, its image has become traditional and aging over the past 17 years, requiring a brand image upgrade.This case uses global vision, diversity, vitality, and humanism as keywords. By redesigning the brand's symbols and extending graphics, activating the brand colors, it redefines and standardizes the DragonPass brand visual system.

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.

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.
