Production Technology
All the graphics were made in Adobe Illustrator to remain vector quality. With image digitalization programs such as Photoshop, Indesign, designers developed a series of visual identities that can be easily adaptable to offline and online materials which include: Business cards, postcards, rack cards, product name cards, in-store flyers, menus, corporate letterhead, envelope, promotional brochure.
Design Challenge
As the company is expanding globally and its business from Asia to global, the major creative challenge was to create an appropriate visual metaphor to communicate Gong cha's core values to cultivate tea culture and brew happiness around the world. An abstract, dynamic and appealing identity system sprouted from all the different interactions creating attractive patterns and textural expressions rooted in a mission-driven symbology. The photography style gives a warmth, affinity, and delight impression that humbly reflects the humble nature of Gong cha's service.
Research
Tea, companion, art, taste, and moment meld to form the essence of Gong cha shape the world's culture of tea. The Main Pattern is a fundamental Key Visual that can show the brand image and tell the stories behind it. Five-element that make good tea has been simplified into patterns, making various images of Gong cha for multiple applications. When using product images on promotional items, images with warm bright colors should be used.
Inspiration
Tea is the flow of time. Tea is a wordless conversation. Tea is a fountain of inspiration, transforming each day into a leisurely journey of taste. Tea is life. It craves contemplation. It's worth savoring. Gong cha always ponders upon how best to brew modest happiness and relaxation in a small cup in your day-to-day life. Gong cha always ponders upon how best to provide a space for a sip of laughter with loved ones. Gong cha always ponders upon how best to share the stories of tea drinking culture easily and enjoyably with many people.
Project Duration
This project started in 2021 in California.
Operation Flow
The unique brand identification program quickly revealed that the Gong cha identity had to be modern, natural, and comfortable and it had to convey variety, harmony, and smoothness. Gong cha color skim is a set of standards that plays an important role in forging the brand identity when the Gong cha color system is utilized. Gong cha's primary color is "Gong cha Tea Red", the secondary color is Pearl Brown, Milk Tea Beige, Leaf Green, and water Blue.
