Ben Su is a brand identity created for a sauerkraut fish restaurant. The identity is built on the core product feature of intangible cultural heritage sauerkraut, which is handmade and pickled for 280 days without preservatives. The main poster presents these product advantages in a direct visual form, using soft curves and strong color contrast for high recognition. The restaurant covers 260 square meters and includes a sauerkraut display area at the entrance. Scenes and props connect the visual identity with the interior space.

Production Technology
Through the construction of scenes and props, the whole restaurant integrates the artistic sense and commercial functions into the space of Bensu. A sauerkraut display area is set up at the entrance, and through an artistic presentation, the brand's greatest features are fully presented to consumers before entering the restaurant.
Design Challenge
How to combine and express the historical sense with modern design language is an important challenge for designers in this project. In the brand image exploration stage, they tried to refine the regional cultural characteristics behind the product.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2019 in Taicang and finished in March 2020 in Taicang.
Operation Flow
Due to the old brand image, the overall development of the enterprise is weak and can not win the love and recognition of young consumers. Therefore, in order to seek differentiation and maintain brand vitality, Bensu has carried out a systematic brand upgrade to meet the current industry and market trend, hoping to occupy the market and consumer cognition through the brand when the categories tend to be similar.
Research
Bensu Sauerkraut Fish is a brand of sauerkraut fish with strong product resource advantages and unique taste. The designers have combed the brand's success genes for more than ten years, and extracted the most competitive core differentiation of the brand: "Centennial intangible cultural heritage sauerkraut". Based on this advantage, they put forward the core product slogan: "Centennial intangible cultural heritage sauerkraut, originated in 1902".
Inspiration
The designers want to build Bensu into a brand that is more eye-catching, recognizable, and able to differentiate itself from other sauerkraut fish brands. They put forward the differentiated positioning of the brand, starting from the product taste characteristics of sauerkraut fish, hoping that consumers will have a clear memory and taste stimulation when they see the brand image.
