Production Technology: TangDaLi leverages advanced graphic design techniques, juxtaposing Tang Dynasty line-drawing characters with contemporary imagery. Production utilizes sustainable materials, ensuring each physical embodiment of the brand is eco-friendly. The precise execution involves high-quality print technology on recyclable substrates, reflecting the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Design Challenge: The challenge lay in authentically integrating the Tang Dynasty's cultural elements with a modern brand identity without compromising on either. Striking a balance between historical significance and contemporary appeal required extensive research into traditional Chinese art forms, consumer behavior studies, and iterating designs to meet modern ecological and production standards.
Research: The research combined historical analysis with modern design trends to create a bridge between past and present. Using surveys and market analysis tools, we identified a gap in brand storytelling that could be filled with rich cultural heritage. Participants included design experts and target consumers. Insights showed a preference for brand experiences that fuse tradition with innovation, significantly impacting the market positioning and societal perception of Chinese cultural brands.
Inspiration: Inspired by the cultural richness of the Tang Dynasty, TangDaLi embodies the era’s diversity and openness. The project stemmed from the desire to marry historical resonance with modern vitality. It draws from traditional Chinese motifs, colors, and the poetic pun of “Tang”- sugar and dynasty, bridges modern design, to tell brand story and elicit brand associations, to portray the brand's culture of blending ancient with new and its energetic nature.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2023 in Beijing and finished in October 2023 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: The design employs the iconic illustrations and typical visual elements, ensuring it's easily recognizable. At the same time, the recombination of traditional and modern introduces a fresh and stimulating aspect, making it memorable. These elements also lay the groundwork for evolving brand stories in future marketing campaigns. These, combined with the brand's name and its pun, pique consumers' curiosity, leading them to experience the Brand's value bridging tradition and modernity.
