About Wow Long Rice Crust スナック菓子のパッケージ

Wow Long Rice Crust は、中国伝統のおこげ菓子のためのパッケージデザインである。本デザインは、このスナックカテゴリーにおける商品の同質化と、老朽化したブランドイメージという課題に応えるものである。パッケージには、ブランド名の由来となった愛称をもつ中国の歴史上の人物・諸葛亮を、ユーモラスなコミック調のタッチで描いている。誇張された表情と「Wow」という発話は、このスナックのもちもちとした噛みごたえのある食感を表現している。ブランド名は「Wo Long」から「Wow Long」へと刷新された。イラストによる物語と商品写真を組み合わせることで、より若い消費者層の関心を惹きつけている。

Unique Properties
The brand name WOW LONG is also the nickname of Zhuge Liang. Innovation comes from the brand-new design of this Chinese historical figure. Zhuge Liang’s new comic image on the packaging removes his old serious impressions in people’s minds. Simultaneously, the surprising word “Wow” coming from his mouth brings the chewy taste and funny experience of this snack food to the extreme.

Production Technology
With vivid illustrated stories and exaggerated expressions combined with appetizing product pictures, to attract the attention of consumers.
Design Challenge
How to make young people like traditional food, how to retain the visual assets of old packaging to the new packaging design
Research
Chinese traditional snacks - rice crust is facing the problem of product homogeneity and image ageing.
We use the language we can communicate with young people, the way they like to express, to give them a new understanding of wowlong, so that they can have an emotional resonance.
Inspiration
The brand name “WO LONG” is also the nickname of the famous Chinese historical figure Zhuge Liang. Inspired by this, the overall brand design is set to be younger while maintaining the portrait of Zhuge Liang. We redesigned his image with a humorous comic style and replaced the first word of the brand name “Wo” with the spoken word “Wow”. The rebranding of Wo Long is not only an upgrade of a traditional snack brand but also a new understanding of rice crust from the perspective of young consumers.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2022 in Beijing and finished in April 2023 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
we made three key design actions that allowed Wo Long to show a quite different brand personality. First, we used young people's favourite comic style to establish the visual tone of the product. Secondly, we exaggerated Zhuge Liang's facial expression to reflect the snack's unique taste of "chewy and funny". Finally, we updated the brand name “Wo Long” to “Wow Long”. Zhuge Liang’s funny facial expression with his surprising word “Wow” provides consumers with the emotional values of happiness, energy and humour.
