The Design
About Infinite Borders ブランドアイデンティティ
『Infinite Borders（無限の境界）』は、三国志の時代を舞台とするストラテジーゲームのためのブランドアイデンティティである。ブランドグラフィックは、タイトルの象形文字的な字形と、ストラテジーゲームのプレイを想起させる方眼状のグリッドから導き出されている。漢代に好まれた黒・赤・白を基調色とし、フラットに表現された書のブラシストロークを補助要素として用いる。そこにモダンなタイポグラフィを組み合わせることで、体系的かつフラットなビジュアルシステムを完成させている。このデザインはデジタルポスター、ユーザーインターフェース画面、印刷物へと展開され、視覚的な一貫性を保ちながら多様なチャネルへ拡張することができる。

- Unique Properties
- Positioned "The Authentic and Passionate Three Kingdoms," the brand traces the pictographic characters of its name and combines them with the "grid square" impression from strategy games to derive its brand graphics. It extracts the popular colors of black, red, and white from the Han Dynasty as its primary colors. Flat calligraphic brushstrokes are used as auxiliary elements. By incorporating modern typography, the brand provides new cultural experiences for the Three Kingdoms era.

- Production Technology
- This design will be applied to digital posters, UI interfaces, and physical prints. By using a systematic, modern, and flat design, it ensures ease of extension for designers across various channels while maintaining overall brand visual consistency.
- Design Challenge
- To recreate an authentic impression of the Three Kingdoms, the design must have historical and cultural significance while embodying modern aesthetics and trends. Additionally, it needs to consider digital and print applications and ensure ease of extension for a global audience.
- Research
- By visiting museums of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, we studied artifacts' color schemes, textures, and other characteristics. We researched the age demographics and preferences of players, combining this with the game's own mechanics. Integrating these studies and research, we extracted pictographic characters and popular colors of the Han Dynasty, merging them with modern aesthetics to infuse new vitality into the traditional Three Kingdoms culture.
- Inspiration
- The Three Kingdoms period dates back 1,500 years. We have deeply studied the characters and colors from Han Dynasty culture, combining the "land grid" gameplay and the pictographic character of the "Shuai" logo to derive the square as the brand graphic. Using a design that appeals to younger and international aesthetics, we inject new cultural vitality into the Three Kingdoms and convey its charm to a broader global audience.
- Project Duration
- The project started its design phase in March 2023 and was completed in July 2023. It was officially launched in November 2023.
